My new company - My new life


I started my work finally after a month holiday. It seems like a good start since I get my 1st business trip to PJ on my first day as well.

At lease I got a good experience with my first flight. I fly with MAS instead of Air Asia; I stay in a 4 start hotel in stead of a cheaper hotel. My boss bring me for shopping after working in stead of just sending me back to hotel and rush home.

I have been there for 3 days, back to Penang together with my bosses (hehe, really, bosses). We went out for lunch with all the managers for my 1st lunch in Penang branch. I need to park my car inside the plant in stead of being prohibited to drive in my car (in my previous “A” company). The guard will say thank you after checking your car in stead of being rude.

I have my own office room. I have 2 really good and perfect teams reporting to me. I am the decision maker in stead of a follower now. The managers in plant will smile at you in stead of pulling down the face like a doggy at you. I have my 15% EPF, car allowance, meal allowance, mileage claims, phone allowance, better salary and most important thing is A GOOD BOSS.

Not easy to sit at my current place, but it is worth it for me to work hard for it because I feel appreciated and I want respect my current company. Some one told you big company is always better? No, not really, the most important thing is you need to get into a company which suit you (or may be should said a company that need people like you).

A shark cannot survive in a pond, a gold fish cannot survive in a sea; A bird cannot survive in the water, a fish cannot survive on the land. You cannot say that they are useless, it is just because of their habitat is different. Just like human, just like me.

Interesting Theory . Formula

Human = eat + sleep + work + play
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Human = Pig + work + play
Hence, Human - play = Pig + work
Conclusion : Human who don't play = Pig

Man = eat + sleep + earn money
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Man = Pig+ earn money
Hence, Man - earn money = Pig
Conclusion: Man who don't earn money = pig

Women = eat + sleep + waste money
If, Pig = eat + sleep

Then, Women = pig + waste money
Hence, Women - waste money = pig
Conclusion: Women who don't waste money = pig

Theory:

Man earn money so that women won't become pig,
Women waste money because don't want men to become pig

Hence, MEN + WOMEN = PIGS

A roller coaster week – part 2

Continue from last post, I am not jobless anyway; actually I got the job in the second interview on Wednesday. They offered me the job immediately after my interview, I didn’t tender my resignation immediately because I haven’t sign my offer letter at that time.

If despite the bad side, actually all things are in perfect timing, I got a job 2 days before he “fired” me. I got one month paid leave since he asked me to leave immediately and still paying me the one month salary. So I can enjoy my life for one month before I started to work again. I think someone will say that I should thanks my boss, ya, I will thanks him if he never did all the things before (ya, all YOU did is for our “GOOD” like what you always SAID but not as what we always FEEL).

Most of my friends know where I am going, although I think some still wondering whether I am the one telling truth or he is the one who tells the truth. The only thing I want to say is, use your eye, use your brain, use your heart and you will know who is telling the truth. Hehe, or if you want to say that both of us telling truth, I am fine with it. I just wanted to say, I didn’t feel guilty to him, I just feel guilty to those who really teach me but I never managed to help them. Sorry ya, WY and CH. All the others, we will still meet outside as friends (unless you scared he kill you as well).

A roller coaster week- part one

Some readers might realize that my relationship with my boss (should say ex-boss :P) in AXXLEXX company was not good. I wanted to leave this company long before I renew my second year contract and I have been mumbling about this for almost half a year but I never take any action.

I thought I wanted to give myself and my ex-boss a chance each and every time he when he transfer me to new product. Anyway, things never work out. I am not sure whether it is because of I didn’t “worship” him like others or because the chemistry between us never happened. Everything I did which related to him will have mistake, everything that I did even the same with others, I will still “die” in his hand. Incidents happened along the one year and 4 months which I learned a lot but the more I learned, the more I knew that I am not suitable in that company with the boss named “KyEK” (not real name “P).

Finally I took action to send out my resume to the job market. Luckily, my resume still worth something, I got a lot of calls which wanted to arrange for interview with me. So, last 2 weeks were my interview week. I did wrongly in this case; I went out for interview within office hour without informing him. I don’t have any leave since I already took the leave when my mom was admitted to hospital this year (my leave was pro-rated, which means I earn my leave by my working hour), the interviewer can’t wait till after office hour, so I have no choice but go out during office hour.

Result is, he called me for one on one review last Wednesday. He questioned me on my timeout; he asked me where I went for last one week. Hehe, you know, I never wanted to lie, I dare to answer if you dare to ask, so I told him the truth. Immediately, he said someone told him that I don’t have “heart” to work there anymore (from there I knew, someone back step me, golden finger is somewhere). So he asked me what will happen if I didn’t get the job that I am going for second interview in the afternoon (I took half day leave(the only half day leave that I managed to earn) for that). I am not sure what kind of answer he wanted from me. For me, that question is quite stupid, if I started to go for interview, that means I already decided to go away. If he wanted me to say that I wanted to stay and I like to stay, I tell you, I ‘m sorry, I don’t like to lie. I am not sure whether someone else gave him this answer but I am sure that person is lying! So, I told him I will keep on looking until I got a job. His answer is standard, then don’t waste both you and my time. He asked to give him answer on the next day regarding my second interview.
I think all the clever readers know what happened next. On Friday, he ask me to go for one on one again, I thought he is going to ask me regarding the status, anyway, he didn’t, immediately he ask me to leave the company. So I leave, without any chance to take any of my personal things. He asked the admin to pack for me. This incident shocked a lot of people in my department. I told some of them that “KyEK” will ask me to leave immediately but they don’t believe, they thought he is a good guy although most of us think that he is stupid…I proved that I am right.

Those who don’t know the story before thought I really did something serious that he need to ask me to leave, I tell you, I DIDN’T, the only mistake I did is leaving company for interview without informing him (anyway, trust me, I will die even if I told him earlier). I think the golden fingers will tell him about this blog that I posted up and he will tell them that I am stubborn, too egoistic and no point keeping me because I never listen to people. The other way he will say is no comment on her anymore since she left and he will still believe that he is right. Hehe, I think you are right, but not everyone thinks you are. I might make a mistake and I deserve for all that happened but I know the better way to solve the problem.
