What You Call This, The Breaking Point

There's something wrong with the place I work with.

We worked ourselves to a point of oblivion, of unlimited exhaustion, through sleepless nights and hunger - for the sake of this company.

What did the company repay us with?

A pat in the back? A note of approval? 'Well done, guys!' remarks? A toast to our efforts? A 'thank you' speech? Anything to acknowledge what we have done to suffer our mental, emotional and physical health?

I tell you all this. All of it. No. Let me stress that out. NOOOOOOO.

What we got instead were:

1. 'I was never informed. That was a stupid plan. That was a stupid way to make decision. I was not involved.' --> by the A***** manager. Oh great. And what was the reason I updated him and all other managers in their stupid morning meetings? To pass the time? Because I like attending their hot air meetings?

2. 'Nothing for the committee. It's part of their jobs to carry out this event.' I may not end up in HR after spending 4 years studying motivation, team work, all those HR ideologies - but I still keep this firmly in mind.

Why does UTM, a university that focused on engineering studies, have HR as part of its faculties? Because HR, is an engineering of a different kind. HRD (a.k.a training & human development) is about human engineering. Human resource is the most valuable resource a company has, but most often, the most neglected. When a machine breaks down, most companies spare no expenses to fix it. But when staff breaks down, nothing is done to improve the situation.

I'm not asking for a plaque each for everyone. Neither am I pushing for monetary rewards. I'm asking for meals for the committee. A t-shirt as a way to acknowledge that they are in-charge. Nothing of this sort was approved. Because the company does not want to waste. Is this considered wastage?

3. 'I want this to be done annually.' (Ask the committee to do this again. without any rewards) This is the biggest problem I have with this company. Good job, is rewarded with, well, more work.

You know what? Do it yourself. I'm done and through with the company's attitude. I think the management doesn't understand their staff, nor do they care much about us. I'm so over with slaving myself for nothing.

I'm quitting.

Snowed Under Work Avalanche!

Trump has a new nickname. Daddy-o.

Me to my assistant:

'Eh, ask your Daddy-o to approve t-shirt for all committee members since you're his favourite daughter.'

Again, me to my assistant:

'Daddy-o almost made me stay back and go to JB only on the eve of the event. Now he asks me to do some working paper.'

WWWWWHHHHYYYYY DADDDYY-OOOOO?? Can't you see I'm busy organising an event????

Talking about the event made me stressed out again. First, it was a depressing problem of short of participations. All of a sudden yesterday, we were bombarded with so many last-minute registrations that we run out of space. Apparently, the news release came out in local dailies ONLY YESTERDAY. Didn't we submit the news release like, last week?

In between updating participants' list, and answering calls from frantic interested parties, and other stuffs, Daddy-o asked me to do extra works pulak.

'Prepare a letter to Dato' R, cc to Datuk Sri E. Before you go to JB, I want it.'

Because Daddy-o wants the letter today before lunch and the draft for the working paper within the same day, I am still up sprawled amidst documents of past minutes of meetings, reports that don't make sense and eyes that crave for sleep.

Note to self: I.must.hand.in.letter.soonest. Period.

The End:

(Daddy-o introducing me to his guest, 'This is my most hardworking staff.' Hardworking je??! Oh yeah, I forgot. The intelligent label already goes to the Chairman earlier. I hate you, Chairman because you are labeled intelligent and yet, do not have to do Trump's chores).

Habiskan Duit Di Ikea Lagik!

Sebenarnya minggu ni aku sangat stress. Memandangkan aku sedang organize satu event di JB, maka kerap berulang-alik dan tidur di JB menjadikan aku sangat stress. Walaupun event kami dapat ramai penaja tapi jumlah participation masih di tahap yang kritikal dan secara langsung menyumbang kepada tahap stress yang tinggi. Kesimpulannya, aku memang sangat stress! Aku semakin bersemangat nak berhenti kerja!

Bila aku stress aku tidak boleh lihat rumah aku berselerak kerana aku akan jadi double, triple stress. So, aku menghabiskan masa mengemas stor yang sudah tidak kemas lagi, dan kertas-kertas, bil-bil, cd dan majalah-majalah yang berselerak atas rak tv. Suami Terchenta pun dengan rajinnya membantu aku mengasingkan kertas-kertas yang tak berguna untuk dibuang.

Tapi walaupun sudah kemas, kertas-kertas tu masih menyakitkan mata aku. Terlalu sakit dan menyampahnya aku sampai aku mengajak Suami Terchenta membuat retail therapy di Ikea. Tujuannya untuk cari something untuk organize barang-barang seperti cd, resit-resit barang elektrik, bil-bil, manual barang-barang elektrik dan sebagainya yang telah menyemakkan diri dalam rak tv itu.

Hasilnya, kami telah pulang dengan membawa kotak-kotak ini:

ikeakotak simpanan cd, bil-bil, resit, manual barang letrik, surat, etc. Boleh taruk label supaya boleh tau content kotak tersebut

dan juga bakul ini:
ikeaUntuk simpan wayar2, headphone, tripod kamera, kamera, etc.

Hasilnya:

ikea
Tadah! Tiada lagi kertas-kertas yang berselerak di bawah rak tv! My mom will love it! :) Hehe..

Kami juga beli remote control pocket supaya boleh simpan remote control tv / Astro / VCD player kami di tempat yang senang dicapai:

ikearemote control pocket

Next, Insya Allah kalau ada rezeki, kami tengah aim untuk beli meja makan ini:

ikea
Memandangkan rumah kami sangat space-efficient (a.k.a. kecik), jadi meja yang boleh diturunkan bila dah selesai makan tidak memerlukan ruang yang banyak dan sangat sesuai untuk rumah kami. Harganya pulak baru RM129. Especially bulan puasa dah nak dekat ni so kena ada tempat makan yang proper. Selain dari tu, boleh jadi tempat Suami Terchenta buat programming dengan selesa (bila dia dah beli laptop yang baru).

Kesimpulannya, aku memang sangat heart Ikea :) Hehe. Terasa nak bawak balik semua barang-barang di Ikea! Muahaha!

Jalan-jalan di Low Yat Plaza

Suami Terchenta baru-baru ni mengalami shock yang teramat dahsyat. Laptop nya telah meninggal dunia secara mengejut sewaktu aku berada di JB. Akibatnya Suami Terchenta tidak dapat buat aktiviti kesukaannya iaitu download episod Bleach programming Msjbox.

Jadi semalam kami telah berjalan-jalan di Low Yat untuk survey laptop baru. Sebenarnya ini semua atas desakan aku sebab aku nak cari cassette adaptor yang aku impi-impikan. So, aktiviti bersiar-siar di Low Yat adalah menyelam sambil minum air! :p

Entah macamane, bukan setakat cassette adaptor yang kami beli, malah kami beli mp3 player yang baru dan speaker yang comel ini:



Mp3 player ni ada 1GB memori dan harganya RM99. Kami tambah RM10 untuk beli speaker. Kata Suami Terchenta, 'Lain kali kita duduk di bawah pokok boleh la kita dengar radio.'

... Duduk di bawah pokok?


Underneath pokok pinang, We will wait for flight! :p

Apa-apa jelah, Suami Terchenta.
