Picking Up...

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I knew this (stop blogging) would happen. All due to my laziness and busyness.

Finally got a chance to update my blog and let my friends know what I am up to these days.

All along, I knew that I wasn't working in the most effective business but never was I so discouraged by the things that happened these few weeks. I am beginning to see some serious problem that this company has.

1. A Director Who Likes To Backstab (A Wolf In Sheep Skin)
Let me elaborate... Recently, I encounter a small technical problem and asked him (the director, also the youngest brother of the big boss) for help. He actually say he don't know how to operate the machine. Eventually I got my supplier to teach me how to operate the machine. Actually he knows how to operate the machine. Just that he does not want to teach me. 3hrs after I used the machine, he offered to do another thing for me, using that machine. Where got so stupid??

2. A Mother & Daughter Who Don't Communicate
This is a classic. Both the mother and daughter are directors (also the younger sister and niece of the big boss) in my company. I have to take orders from either of them, both of them?....argh....I'm confused myself... well... the daughter said that if she's not around and I needed an answer immediately, I should ask her mother. Then I got scolding for doing so because her mother's decision was not her decision. She said, "She (the mother) don't know anything, so don't ask her." Fine, I thought. I decided to just take orders from her (the daughter). Guess what? The mother scolded me for making the decision approved by her daughter saying, "Next time ask me, she (the daughter) don't know anything. She very blur." Where did the love between mother and daughter went?

3. A Lazy Woman Who Still Wants Authority
Recently, I got scolded again. The daughter, whom in my eyes is a lazy woman who wants to control everything, doesn't see her own mistake. She wanted a report on the work progress and so I gave it to her every week. I would suppose she will read it. Then one day she scolded me for doing the wrong thing. I highlighted to her that I have mentioned it in my report and she did not say it was wrong. Guess what again? She said, "The report is just a guideline. It does not mean anything!" So what's with the report? For me to kill time????!!!! She obviously don't read!

4. Still The Lazy Woman
That same lazy woman on the pretext of furthering her studies decided to resign. But she hung on to her directorship and have me reporting to her. I was told that she's just a consultant now. I guess that's just her excuse for coming in for 4hrs a week and still have lots of authority.

5. The Same Lazy Woman Who Doubles As A Backstabber
When a management employee resigns, she will send a backstabbing email to his/her business partners to ask them to stop contacting him/her. Doesn't she realise that she's been labelled 'The Backstabber", "The Evil One" in the industry? Retribution!

6. A Fine Line Between Being Exploited And Multi-tasking.
My big boss' daughter is setting up her own business. I have to help her make namecards! This is crazy. My GM (not part of the family, thank God!) said, "it's good to learn more." Does it mean that I have to thank them for exploiting me???

Sigh....but why am I still here? I know everywhere there will be people like that. But for sure, anywhere is high chance better than here.
