7 months down the road
7 months after working here, my beautiful impression of the company has changed. People go and come, and comes along the hateful thing of politicking. The basic decency that you think people would have, is simply not there, and therein comes the disappointment. I guess i can't expect too much, after all there's no perfect work place, not even if you start your own company. The life of running my own jewelry business is so attractive once again. Oh well. That is working life huh. I guess the rose tinted world appears in shades of grey and plume.
The biggest disappointment has to be the lack of basic courtesy to not disturb me when i'm on leave. 3 different colleagues calling me on my hp to ask me about things that could wait til the next day. Why do i bother working til 9pm the night before and ensuring my handover is done thoroughly. Is it like that in this industry? That even the media owners have to call me twice even though i've told them i'm on MC. This lack of common courtesy? If that is the case i seriously question how long i can stay in an industry like that. I don't demand a lot, i work long hours that i can live with and i don't ask for much, just simple basic courtesy, yet i'm not granted even a simple reprieve. Makes you wonder why the hell you bother. Next time, if people are on mc and leave, i will not be nice and kind, afterall i'll just phrase my call with "Hello XXXXXX, sorry i know you're on leave but ah, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH." and expect to be forgiven. Yay for agency efficiency.
