Anyway its been a month plus since I last blogged about not being jobless already. Well, I'm contemplating of being jobless once again. I have prepared my resignation letter and am starting to re-update my resume to send out to prospective employers again. The whole tiresome job-hunting process will commence very soon.
As some of you already know, this current job I'm in is quite crappy. The workload is crazy, more than any human can bear. OT is unpaid, given that we are of "executive position" - seriously, I rather be a non-executive then. OT is much more worth it then. On average I worked about 13h daily, but as of last week I did 70h of gut slogging. MOM orders that employees working more than 44h of normal hours, are required to be paid OT. Sadly this local company is so sad case that they only offer taxi reimbursement after 3h of OT.
Why was I so foolish to take this job up? I have seriously underestimated this single-lined job scope, I wanna bang my head on the wall now. No dental benefits, just when my wisdom tooth is killing me now. Medical benefits are capped at S$380 yearly, and given only when you are a confirmed staff. 14 days of MC and annual leave each, but when on probation it is UNPAID!
It has been barely 2 months but seriously, white flag is at half mast already. I'm dying from fatigue, stress, hair loss, nightmares, a very messy office desk and tons of emails ding-dong everyday. Broke down twice in office toilet, bcos I felt so ridiculous working here. Sighs.
Public holidays are a must-have in this job, bcos once you take leave on any working day, you cannot catch up with your work already. It is that crazy! I'm intending to leave after Labour Day holiday so I can encash a free holiday-in-lieu =)
Oh yes, you wanted to know the job and scope? Dun be fooled by this one-liner:
"Buyer : Source, negotiate and buy electronic components - to support customers' production line". I know it sounds that simple and straight-forward. Well indeed it is, but the amount of paperwork and shit you gotta do just to justify that buy = HOMICIDE!
I have fallen sick after slogging my guts nonstop for the past 5 weeks (including tutoring) and it is time I need the rest. Had to forgo church today, simply bcos I was too weak and was suffering from a throbbing headache. Why am I torturing myself like this, for a meagre pay? Must be for the CPF and my future 3-room flat at Punggol Walk, I reckon.
Well I do feel slightly better, and managed to switch on my beloved Macbook after neglecting it for 2 months. Got to know some job lobangs and I'm all revved up for better job opportunities. Just dunno which industry to choose, or should I stick to my initial interest in aviation? It seems so difficult to get a job there, despite my efforts. Sighs. I'm baffled and confused.
God, give me wisdom to choose the right job now. I dun wanna be exploited for cheap labour any longer!
I hate C** inhumane working culture, some of the people there, the rigid system and lousy technology, the 80s office setting and the care-less attitudes of our bosses when we are unhappy in our jobs and resign. They dun bother to hold you back and ask why. The turnover rate there is increasing, especially ever since I came in. Ha! I bring "bad luck" to the bosses there =p
What the heck am I talking? I'm the blessed one - all of them can just suck thumb and continue to be life-less! I need a LIFE! Goodbye!
