I am a Finance Manager with Trane, an American multinational company. In Sep’09, I hire an accountant to help me. However, she turns out to be someone who needs a lot of attention, constantly making mistakes in her work and kept asking for her job responsibilities to be reduced.

In early Dec’09, she insists that she send out a sales report to our Sales GM which I didn’t have the time to check as I was busy with another report. The next day, I discovered that she made a serious mistake in the report. I corrected the report and reprimanded her. She was unhappy about it. So, she complains about me to our HR and my boss. Luckily, my boss knows what was going on and supported me.

She also instigates my other staff against me by twisting some of the things I advise her and her subordinate and they wanted to complain about me to our Ethic hotline in US. When my MD heard about their plan thru his secretary and her best friend, I was called into his office to answer their complaints against me. Before I went into the room, I prayed first. At the meeting, my MD was satisfied with my explanations and he said that he will not take any action and he considered the issue settled. Yet, she is not satisfied and continues to gossip about me through out the office and at the same, her work performance started to deteriorate.

Through out this difficult time, I continue to give my best to my work and listen to worship song whenever she started to gossip loudly with the fellow colleagues at her workstation. I also continue to pray to God and trust that he is in control. I also share about my challenges with my Homies, Sister Lisa and Kathleen and they prayed for me. I also continue to serve as a Host and attend Church which is a new experience for me as I tend to clam up and prefer to be alone when I am troubled.

On the first week of Jan’10, when Pastor Kenneth preached about confidence, I felt so much like Joseph. After the sermon, I tell pastor that I was going thru a “Potiphar Wife’ experience and his message has given me hope and encouragement. I also believe that God is bring me closer to the destiny that he planned for me.

My breakthrough comes two weeks ago:
1. My boss confirmed that I will be promoted to help him at regional level to take care of 3 countries i.e. Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia..
2. The staff resigned on her own accord and
3. Best of all, I am given 2 new staff to help me. The first person, an Accounting Manager who has more working experience to replace my previous accountant. The second staff will be another new Accountant to help me with my regional work.

Glory to the Lord and I thank Him for His faithfulness, protection, deliverance, blessings and favours..

Praise God for His favor in my workplace. I'm a product consultant for a medical equipments company. About 3 months ago, I was asked to visit a doctor by my manager to present my products. I proceeded as normal and didn't do anything extraordinary. During my appraisal, my manager complemented me on my performance and mentioned that this doctor had called her up to compliment me on my presentation. This doctor is known to be very particular about sales reps who approach her and rarely would she give anybody praise. My manager was surprised and pleased that I had gained her approval but I know that it is God who gave me favor in her sight. :)
