how terrible is your job?

I came across this "Employee beware" article this morning when I browsed for something juicy to read. Actually, it's the only morning (in 2 weeks time since I last goyang kaki) when I get (haha lucky me!) to surf and read something before starting my job full swing.

To all those employees, click on the link and go read the article up and determine whether you're one of the unlucky employee or not. If you are, then too bad. If you're not, then dang it you're one lucky damn person. Stay faraway from me. I'll be so tulan if you're nearby!

Anyway, here's the summary of the sub-titles and my verdict (of myself lar okay, not you!) :-

1. You dread going to work.
Hmmm... To some extend, yes. I dread going to work. But not to the point where I refused to go to work. It's like a love hate situation. You love it, and yet you hate it at the same time. You don't wanna do it, and yet you can't live without doing it. In my case, it's 50/50 lar. My work sucks but sometimes, I love doing it. That's part and parcel of life. Nothing is perfect. Even if you can't accept that, life still goes on. Time waits for no one babe, especially you! Haha!


2. You get no enjoyment from your day-to-day responsibilities.
Enjoyment from my day to day responsibilities? Hmmm. I like the idea of being able to do impossible things for my superbly impossible boss who always asks for impossible targets. Heck, anybody would feel good if they managed to accomplish the impossibles, no?

I have to admit though, that sometimes, when the going gets tough, and everything, practically just everything went wrong, you'd feel like you're dreaming and that everything would just go away once you open your eyes and wake up. Those are the days when you feel like eating panadols (loads of them) the size of hamburgers. *faints*


3. You are uncomfortable with the company culture and environment.
Company culture and environment? Let's see. No dressing code. Anything goes as long as I don't turn up wearing a bikini or swimsuit. Flexible working hours. You can come in super late, or leave super early, or come in super early, and leave super late or whatever as long as you get the jobs done. Damn flexible eh? Hahaha. And they have great working environment. Decent office equipments, leather chairs, fully equipped with air-conds, stationeries, endless beverage supplies, pantry with microwave oven, rice cooker, gas stove, gas tank, refrigerator, complete cooking utensils, slow cooker, kettle, everything! Hahaha. I simply love that. Now, how many companies can have that???

And I can't sit still in a chair without moving, or going outside. Since all the jobs I've done requires traveling, I'm pretty much a happy bunny. I can do management and traveling and site visiting at the same time but pullleeezzzzeee : No office work for 1 week straight. I'll die of boredom. And no site work for 1 week straight. I'd get so bloody restless I'll kill anybody within the radius of 10m from me! And pulezzzeee no traveling for 1 week straight too. I'd be so tired I'd just spend most of my night time sleeping instead of working!

Conclusion : I like my job now. It's a rojak. With a little bit of everything. Spices of life. Niceee...

Point of the day. Just bloody perform. Accomplish your tasks. You can bitch about it later on. I always bitch halfway through though. Sometimes even before I started the works to reach the targets. Bad habits are hard to kill ya know. ;P


4. Your relationship with your boss is turbulent.
Eh, I don't have problems with my boss. The only thing I can't stand is that he nags too much, always talk dirty and keeps repeating the same thing over and over and over again. He only does that when he's losing money. And he cuss a lot too. And he's a bloody liar. I still can't comprehend why I believed what he said in the first place. To think that he might have changed after all those years? Silly me. Aaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!!!

5. You see no opportunities for career advancement or enhancement.
Job training? Professional development? Pah. Nonsense. I'm trained every single goddamn minute I'm working for him. Need further training meh tiu! Professional development? Let's just say that I don't intend to become an Engineer for the rest of my miserable life. As long as I get good pay, and as long as THAT's done through job performance, the rest I just don't care lar, aiyo!


Hmmm... I think I'm doing fine there doncha think? In that case, does that mean that those who aren't doing well should steer clear and faraway from me? Least they feel tulan with me. Muahahaha!

So, how terrible is your job? ;P
