Yesterday I had a rough day with the MD of the Company where I have taken up their HR project. I work on consulting basis with them and provide my services as needed by them. The MD is a very tough guy, not in terms of work but dealing with his behavior. He is a cranky old guy with a lot of negativities. Never wants to take fast actions. He is the owner of the Company but still feels the most unsecured with his people around. There is another Consultant in the Company who is exactly opposite him, full of energy and wants fast action in work. Both of them have constant conflicts, and this MD always keeps complaining to me about the other Consultant.
I also tell him that being the owner of the Company if he is not comfortable with anyone providing their services to the Company then he has the power to decide if that person continues or not. But the problem is that he does not even want to let go off that consultant because he knows that the man does a lot of work, because of which his Company is benefitting. Yesterday both of them again had a clash and as always, the MD started complaining to me after the Consultant was gone. I was anyways in a little annoying mood, so I lost my cool and told him directly that he should stop complaining all the time and that he is giving me too much negative energy and draining me out.
He did not expect this yell from me, because I am a very patient listener and I am always maintaining my cool. But then yesterday I felt that it was getting too much, this man only complains all the time and not wanting to do anything to change the situation. I cannot tolerate such people who are just full of excuses in life and wants to keep blaming other all the time for their failures. When I gave a stern response, he was taken back, and then he immediately changed his tone, and laughed out.
This is what I exactly call energy vampires, they try to suck on other people's good energy but when someone draws a boundary for them, they take their step back. They are all around us, and they can be our close family members also. If you give them a lending ear once, forever they will cling on you, like this person. I was actually trying to help him out being a good listener since I know he has issues. But then after a point I realized that he does not want to change and he enjoys being like this.
Since past many days I was feeling drained out mentally because of this man and it was running on my mind that I had to stop this energy drain that he was constantly giving me every time I would talk to him. After my response he suddenly went mild
and left the room. I was also feeling light on my heart and mind. Anyways I am not going to see him for a week now, but hope that when I meet him next, he would still have the impact of my response and does not start with his nonsense again.
