Workplace

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Girl's Talk, Pro @ Work, Rant & Rave

I have never been to a company which is so bad in their system and management. They have very lousy system which nobody follows and the reason people are not complying to it is due to the lengthy procedures. Many things can actually be simplified. For example to get to Point D from Point A, you have to pass Point A, Point B, Point C and Point D where else you can actually short cut and get the work done from Point A straight away to Point D.

Second thing I can think of it the people working in the company, which many of them are from low education level and all they love about to do is bitch about others and trying to get you. They actually trying to show whoever work longest is the company is the one who has the power and authority.

Third, to get a work done, bosses actually have to say something. This is something I don’t see in other company which I call this as teamwork among department. It is definitely the organization and the management failure to get their people work together and collaborate to achieve objectives and goals. Fun thing said is the GM himself have to get down to the floor to make the execution moving, obvious enough at my previous organization whereby the highest group of management have better things to do than to execute small tasks which their lower level of staff can execute among themselves. Everybody is just trying to protect their own piece of ass and at the end, certain objective takes longer time to achieve in matter of time.

During execution in my previous workplace, people come together when there is issue and everybody supportive of working out the project rather than pushing the blame around. Here even the managers are covering their own departments and pushing issues to each others. Tai Chi in another word I would say is a failure for this place to perform better and bring the organization to the next level.

People mindset and behaviours, ATTITUDE is the main downfall of this organization. I can see people struggling hard and everyone feel tired at the end of the day.

Recognition comes as slow and by the time they start recognizing people, subordinates have actually forget what is the recognition and the hard work is all about. This lead to bad team motivation and when you ask flavour for people on the next issue, people do hesitate.

All about this organization I can say with its policies and procedures are all crap as ever. People who work late and 24 x7, covering during midnight during execution, ended up coming to work late actually gets warning letter which makes the person doubt should they stay during an issue or should they just go back in fear of waking up late the next day.

It leads to the point should I or shouldn’t it? In matters of issue, no matter which ever road you take, when the blame comes, they will try to find a scape goat to be blame in order to survive in this organization.

To improve? I would say it will takes this organization 10 years down the road to change the culture. Nobody actually sees any future staying here, attrition rate is high, nobody is doing anything about it or trying to understand what is happening. If you leave, nobody will say good stuff about you but the amount of bad things will actually fload the whole mountain of Alps. The only thing they will say is you can’t take the pressure and trying to point any bad things or stuff you done.

To survive here is actually a difficult task to do. New employee who comes in have doubt of leaving the organization, some actually stay on due to commitment and people like me, trying to have be positive as much as I can putting in things nicer by saying I am staying here to learn, which actually the fact of stuff I am learning is the way people actually work 20 years ago. Small company I would say, politics is high and motivation is low, the only reason I am still here after a year is because of some certain reasons, some goals I make to myself and I know very much myself, one day by looking back, I will laugh and said, yeah I have been through this ridiculous crap before. I never know they exists until the day I landed here.

Sunway Hotel Training

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Pro @ Work

Woke up a slightly 15minutes late than usual days. I am going to training in Sunway hotel for 2 days. Sunway Hotel is in town, so I have to drive to town to attend the training through Coastal Highway. I seldom drive pass town during working hours, there is massive jam especially after passing the highway.

I can see many blury faces and I am sure I am one of them. Surely Monday is not a good start for working day.

Drive to town

After 30 minutes drive, I have finally reached my destination. I am going to be here for the whole 2 days. Sitting in the room and listening to valuable talk for audit knowledge. Sigh.

The trainer has been hired from external to educate us. He is well experience in auditing and do provide us many good examples. There are many things to learn from him.

The best thing I like about hotel training is the food provided. Buffet for lunch! Yummy yummy… The pudding and the jelly are the best. Couldn’t really stop eating and munching throughout the lunch time. Guess I will be adding additional few kilos to my fats!

MY BOSS AND I

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Pro @ Work, Travelling

I read an article about MY BOSS AND I.

When I Take a long time to finish, I am slow,
When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough
When I don’t do it, I am lazy,
When my boss does not do it, he is busy,

When I do something without being told,
I am trying to be smart,
When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative!

When I please my boss, I am apple polishing,
When my boss pleases his boss, he is cooperating,

When I make a mistake, you’re an idiot.
When my boss makes a mistake, he’s only human..

When I am out of the office,
I am wandering around.
When my boss is out of the office, he’s on business.

When I am on a day off sick,I am always sick.
When my boss is a day off sick, he must be very ill.

When I apply for leave,
I must be going for an interview
When my boss applies for leave, it’s because he’s overworked

When I do good, my boss never remembers,
When I do wrong, he never forgets

Funny but it’s true………………:)

Legs aching

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Girl's Talk, Pro @ Work, Rant & Rave

My legs have been aching badly these few weeks. I have been walking a lot at my work place, resolving issues, trying to meet expected requirements, demanding job expectations and the list goes on. It may not be an ideal working environment, but times like this, we can’t demand to have luxury life and enjoying ourselves.

Lucky enough tomorrow will be the last working day and there we go for weekends. And additional bonus is Monday is a replacement for Thaipussam. For one moment, I am thankful we are celebrating Thaipussam and we reserve it as a public holiday here!

Lifeless to work

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Pro @ Work, Rant & Rave

Finally the holidays has ended. Tomorrow I will be starting work back, feel myself dragging to go to work. Big Baby commented on my alarm clock. Yeah…we hate that sound. That particular sound. The alarm from my hand phone is suppose to start off ringing lightly and then make louder sound as time passes by.

Each morning when I hear that particular alarm, my heart beat and pulse stops for a moment. It’s already morning and I need to wake up. If I am late, the guard will jot my name down. At this point of time, I haven’t been late to work yet and hope I don’t need to get my name written, but waking up early every morning is so torrrttuuuuurriiiiiingggggggg!!!

I wonder when will be the day when both of us can sit at home and wake up whenever we want. Regardless the time and no worries of work.

Year of Ox seems to be a tense and pressure year for both of us. Big Baby says its just horroscope and zodiac and not everyone who born on our year get it bad. But that’s what it says from the Fung Shui.
Guess I need to remind myself to be patient, and count my blessing to have work at this point of time when there are tons of jobless people out there. We really need to work it out this year. It’s a tough year. But we will manage to pull it through…we need to.

Failure success

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Girl's Talk, Pro @ Work

Everyone tends to fail at least once in their life. Some may have it more, and may feel very miserable about it. People tends to hunt for success. Success is about meeting a desirable or intended objective and it’s never too late for success! Humans will come across failure success before they succeed!

Age is not an excuse to be successful. Regardless where you are, who you are and how old you are. Failure success people will embrace failure and they know that each mistake they make will be another step closer to victory. But it can be quite humbling to put pride behind your back pocket and take a hit to the ego if you took a risk and fail before you achieve failure success.

Those falling into the failure success will always have the positive traits in them and they never give up even if they fail.

Best Cheap Laptop Inspiron 1420

Posted by: pinklady  :  Category: Girl's Talk, Pro @ Work

I have decided to get myself a laptop, not just any laptop, BUT a BEST CHEAP LAPTOP, after reasoning a lot with myself lately. I need to have one for my own and with the current promotion going with Dell, it should be quite of a good offer.

Talking about Dell’s best cheap laptop? A bread-and-butter consumer-laptop line, the 5.4-pound Inspiron 1420 hits the mainstream sweet spot in features, price, and performance. But this model is going to obsolete soon and replace with Inspiron 1525, which I personally think will make it the best cheap laptop at the best time to buy it. There isn’t much difference between Inspiron 1420 and 1525 except for bigger screen and port. Inspiron 1525 will comes with 15.4 inches monitor and additional HDTV port, which means you can connect your laptop to your LCD TV.  The difference for all that is additional RM300. I don’t really need a big screen monitor on a laptop, afterall bigger screen also means my laptop will be heavier and additional RM300 seems to be a lot of money these days.

Dell also gives out monthly installment payment for those with Citibank and Maybank card for a period of 12 months without any additional charges. Now that is just awesome as it just makes my BEST CHEAP LAPTOP… even easier to buy!
