work
yesteday was my last day on the job.
here's what happened. there's some management changes. somebody else is taking over the operation. they will hire their own people. i'll have to find another job.
fine by me.
i wasn't yet in a panic mode. worse comes to worst, i'll probably go back to USAToday. but i was pissed, though, that i got ejected with short notice. but no panic, not yet.
i spent the day relaxing, as a matter of fact. i'm treating this as a vacation. i don't want to go out jobsearching yet. i just want to sit around and do nothing for a change.
truth be told, my job sucks. well, i shouldn't say that, coz it does pay a lot. (by a lot, i mean a lot more that i needed to spend, which isn't very much to begin with, really.) also, i'm not tied to a desk, and confined to an 8-5 workhour. and so it frees up my time, so during the day i now can go golfing or shopping or reading at a park. don't get me wrong, i loved that part.
but the sucky part of the job is how i get treated. somehow, i get treated with a slightly lesser standard that everybody else.
the fact that i got paid a lot? sure. but when i relinquish some of the burden that i carry for some other burden i was asked to carry, the other people - who, remember, are now doing stuff that i once did - now get paid a lot more that i was before. unfair? very.
the stupid company wasn't making enough money. ok, point accepted. but when i found out that other people are paid more than me, for exactly the same workload i once did, i nearly blew up. yet, calmly, politely, i raised the matter. the answer i got?
"syamil shut up your mouth!"
that's a direct quote, word for word.
whenever there's a problem with other people work, the burden to carry it will fall on me. and, i had to the extra work for free. you go figure.
on top of that, i rarely get paid on time. when i get my paycheck, it's because i actually asked for it. other people? pay on time. how do i know? coz i'm the one frikking delivering the frikking paychecks for them.
earlier on, i was promised extra pay. that was july when i started, and the extra pay was the reason why i quit USAToday. the money will come october, promise! then, it's december, yes, promise! the month then came and went. later, it's going to be march, really!
by the month of may i've stopped expecting any. surprisingly, august was when the extra money actually came. even then it was meager. did i get it? no. other people did.
wtf??
ha bagus la tu kompeni dah bungkus. banyak kena makan sumpah la ni.
