New Place..New People....now after 6 months..

After my somewhat uneventful year in one of the branches of the organization in which I work in, I was transferred to another office. It is supposed to be the "most prestigious" branches of the organization. I was all so excited. I thought ,"Ok I will be doing something worthwhile here at least." So started the journey. Initially all went right. I got to look into a department which I had no prior exposure. I was so excited. 6months passed by. I have been going home late since I came to this "new place". It was ok. I had something new everyday to learn. Not many were keen on me working in that profile except the Head. As long the as the branch head was ok with it, I didn't mind whether others liked it or not.

And then came a day which I never expected that it would come so early. My boss was transferred and came in a new person. The day he has set foot in the office, he has brought in so many changes. I do agree change is the 'mantra' of life. But such a drastic change. All of a sudden I was entrusted with the same old job what I had been doing in my old work place. Not only that, the work place has become so intolerable that one has to take permission even to stand or sit. You are expected to do each and every work and not only that you are not given the freedom to express yourself. Once you do that you are a rebel.

You are not allowed to think differently. Once you start curbing the thinking ability of a person, it becomes hard to work there anymore. Is it that the way I think is way too ahead of the organization's pace? Why should someone be so conservative and restrict the growth of the employees? Are they jealous? Do they fear something? If so what? Let us also understand.
