Corporalitics

Today I just received a email from my Finance Dept addressing to everyone. .

In her exact words

Dear All,

Payday for the month of Nov06 will be delayed till Dec 2 due to some unexpected delay in collections.

Once again, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Apologies??


Kiss My Ass.
You dont do such things to your employees.

Delay in collections? Screw your sales staff and managers. They are not doing their job and not pushing for sales. Don't make their problem my problem.

We all have bills to pay, loans, financial commitments and families to feed

This is the 2nd time in a row our pay has been delayed.

I am a simple man.
I don't expect to be paid big bucks or what. I will put in the work required and do what is expected of me. But when the Corporation start taking things for granted and sends you emails like this, you know it isn't worth it anymore.

Ever since the merger, things have just been going down hill.

No more Meet-the-CEO sessions where we can air our views, no more one big family together. The human touch is just gone.

Office politics galore. People are just backstabbing each other as if its a competition to see who has the most kill at the end of the day. One of the manager even told a staff that there are no friends in an office.

Just recently I just found out 2 co-workers bitching about each other in their own blogs. One calling the other a bitch and the other calling the other a loose woman, sleepin around.

WTF!!!



To say that I regretted rejecting the previous job offer is probably a understatement. I have to admit its my mistake, a wrong move.




Its time to move on, definitely.

Halftime

Back home for the halftime break from reservist.

It has been. .emm. .well. .more of like a school camp than InCamp Training.


My typical day:

Eat
Sleep
Eat
Sleep
Eat
Sleep
Shower
Sleep


Oooh. .did I mention sleep?

Probably the most interesting thing we did was reciting the pledge on the first day.

we, the citizens of PAP Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of foreign talents Race, bus hikes Language or GST hikes Religion
to build a communist Democratic society
based on fare hikesJustice and foreign talents Elitism
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for PAP our Nation.

Dammn. .must be those "good news" i have been reading in the papers . .

Back again on Tuesday. .watch out!!

Reservist

Bye bye

Goin to serve my farking reservist again.

3 more wks to vietnam.. counting down. .

Back

Don't ask me why.

Damn. I haven't posted in three months. I know everyone out there was totally worried about me and disappointed that I wasn't posting anything. And Ms Evil Blythe had threaten to take me off her bookmark.


Oh ya, and thanks for the ONE comment asking why I hadn't posted.

I'd love to tell you I've been exceptionally busy (I've been having dates with work), or that I have had no inspirations (I've had some, but obviously nothing so burning it forced me to write).

In general, I've just not been in the mood for writing of late.

Anyways, the reports of my demise were greatly self-exaggerated.


Thanks for being patient; here endeth the hiatus.


JUS A FEW UPDATES

1) Vietname and Hongkong in Dec!!
This one reallllllly got me excited despite the fact that i got 1 ICT to go through before the fun begins.

2) I got a hot pink phone!!



3) I got a Mac!!












Anyway, to prevent this blog from resembling a mere shrine to my own materialism, some things did not really turned out the way I liked.

4) I got bloody charged by SAF for defaulting on IPPT when i obviously took it during my last incamp. I reckon this deserve a post on its own which i am goin to rant and whine about.

5) Reservist next week without my buddies. .I am just going to be soooo dead alone inside.

6) Work really sucks, big time. I wish i had jus taken up the job offer the last time.


How bout that to sum up my past 2 months? I know it sounds rather mudane, but thats the best my life has to offer at that moment. .I mean it isnt that interesting to begin with in the 1st place.

25 more days to go.

1 fabulous trip.


I hope you are looking forward to it as much as i do.

2nd of Dec. Wait for me.
