Rumors has it that my contract at work will be extended. My reaction? Awesome!! Finally I might be able to get an iphone from my salary.
The problem here is how, in my opinion, I think that SitarBro and a few other of my colleagues are the only ones who are actually working without any ego involved. I could see a lot of hair pulling, racing to be at the top, hierarchical tug of war and fakeness from a lot of the people unfortunately. Don’t get me wrong, I DO in fact like my colleagues but things can get pretty fugly when one’s concerned and insecure about how he/she represents himself/herself. Instead of ‘hey let’s work together and get things done’, I feel like most of the people at work are more pretty much indulged in ‘hey I’m the boss here.. oh wait.. I am supervised, who might also be supervised by another supervisors’.
I mean, the bottomline here is to get things done and get people moving their asses to a mandate, ain’t it? I don’t see that happening. After an email sent to SitarBro, he will be discussing my extension and what is there to be done. I’m just so sick of having so much free time at work. And even if I’m asked to do work, the trust is NEVER there. ToyBoss or BigSis would assign me tasks and they would correct things where needed. It’s not like that here. It’s a China factory process where your work is proofread by 7000 people in between and edited by 7000 more. I don’t mind not having my finger in the ‘credit’ pie. I don’t care if they don’t mention my name but I am not a fan of having to re-correct something which might have been corrected by the supervisor himself/herself.
Another issue is how I would be put on hold when the supervisors are in charge of other things and things would lag on and on and I would be left under ‘what the flying fuck do I do now?’ phase.
I might be naïve but coming from the PR background, working here has been nothing productive nor achieved. I just feel like people don’t have the time of day. Ironically we all have time to sit through the whole meeting each week. Boy, I miss ToyBoss chasing me out of the meeting room once my task is assigned during a meeting. Le sigh.
Somehow, I do see some silver lining in this. Now, I’m being asked to design two websites. Holy cow!!!! Finally, SOMETHING I CAN DO!!! But then again, as usual, the deadline is invisible and the scope is vague. TELL ME SOMETHING NEW, PEOPLE!!!
