A STORY IS A HISTORY NOW
I just realized that I never bitching bout my current/latest employer/company since I joined them rite? Well, it’s not bcoz they are so great or what, but it just that I just don’t want to write so much bout my work life which is just as miserable as usual. But today, I wanted to. I want to tell you a story – a story of a company that I already leaving…yes, I am…
I joined them is April 2007, when I was 6 months pregnant. They said, they are a tolerable, so they don’t mind accepting a pregnant lady to join them. They are a German-based, they have a factory in Germany, the CEO, CFO and Directors are from Germany, they sometime speaks in German, letters and certs come in Germans and all.
I don’t mind that, as long as I can speak English and they understand me, that is fine. They do pay a big wages, as maybe they thought I would spend eating at Italian and Japanese restaurant everyday like they do. That is also fine with me.
And I had an Indian-Muslim manager, being the immediate supervisor for me. He is o-o-k. He did her role well ( I guess), but maybe a little problem here is that he is not good enough in delivering jobs and tasks to me, leaving me always task-less, not fully occupied, nothing to-do, and with that free time encourage me to surf what-nots on internet and go back sharp on time. While on the other hand, his another assistant, a junior executive (I am senior executive) always had full-tray assignments, hundred pages of things-to-do and maybe that make her, well you know…kind of envy, or uncomfortable. And with her new passions in getting-to-know-MAC or better said an IT-officer-wannabe, she had to spend more time in office, finishing assignments and helping IT people – which sometime make her spend until 10 pm.
So from there, the bosses see :
1. My manager plays a big role – he did everything for our dept.
2. The junior exec also plays a big role - she spent time in office until late at night everyday (eventhough she just sitting there bergayut on the phone or YM-ing or SKYPE-ing, but the fact that bosses see is she’s always go back late)
3. While me, plays a very small role, not fully-occupied – go home early, do nothing but just sitting in front of computer, and joined during pregnant, and given 2-months maternity leave.
And that was the time when Zuzu had diarrhea, for about more than 2 weeks, I had taken lots of leave and EL. Until one bad-hair day, the management called me :
Them : You took lots of leave these days.
Me : Yes my daughter is sick. She don’t want to stay with the babysitter. You when baby is sick they just want to crawl in you, hugs you and so…
Them : Yes, but you must consider to find other alternatives.
Me : I don’t have any.
Them : Maybe can ask your relatives to take care of your baby?
Me : My baby DO NOT WANT TO STAY WITH ANYBODY ELSE BUT ME. Hope you understand that.
Them : And before this you have a taken a one-shot 10 days MC – when you were..err..having miscarriage?? Well, I don’t mean to argue, but I don’t know if it is true that you’re having miscarriage and operations, you know..these days..MC can be bought… And I heard from other woman that this kind of operations just need you to rest for 1 or 2 days, but not 10..
Me : May I know what are trying to say here? You don’t believe me, don’t you? Now, let me know, are you trying to sack me off?
Them : Well, you know that company pays your salary so we hope that you pays us back with commitment. But you hav..
Me : It’s ok. I understand that. And I hope you get married faster, and have your own baby and then only you’ll know how does it feel being a mum and what the bloody reasons I was taking leaves when my baby was sick (pointing to the HR mgr). And you, I really hope you can be a woman at least one day or at least your wife will get miscarriage too, so you’ll know how does it hurts that 10 days leave was just not enough to get recovered (pointing to my mgr). And thank you for spending your time. I’ll get back to you with my resignation letter by today. I really understand what you mean, but you’ll never ever understand me.
I gave the letter. Off I go. And I will never turn back.
But once again, I want to defend myself :
1. I got nothing to do in the office bcos my manager was sucks
2. I go home early bcos I got nothing else to do
3. I took MC only when I had miscarriage and never simply took MC on other fine day
4. I took leave because my baby needs me, and I love my baby that nothing can be compared to. And daripada aku dok goyang2 kaki wasting time kat ofis, baik aku jaga anak kat umah right?
So the conclusion is…aku memang tak bersalah langsung!!! But they are just heartless devil from hell, intolerable!!! Enough…I don’t want to waste my brilliant brain thinking of those sucks bloody hell people. I better go watch TV now (or continue my digital scrapbooking project – new hobby since being a homemaker, hehehe.)
But it is ok with me. i dont mind. aku pun memang dah lama nak blah dari tempat yg membuang masa aku tu. takde apa faedah pun aku dok situ. i cant learn something new, i cant gain any experience (except that "DONT TRUST PEOPLE"),and all these while aku keja kat situ memang semata-mata because of money. no job satisfaction, no anything.
And just yesterday, I got phone call, a new job offer for me. Thank You Allah. Alhamdulillah…ALLAH ALWAYS KNOWS THE BEST. Setiap yg berlaku pasti ada hikmahnya.
I choose the Patchwork series - they are HOT at the moment.
However, i cant show the almari dapur here bcoz it has not arrive yet (I'm waiting...). And sshhyyy...Amet doesn't know i alreadybought the almari dapur. I want to make it a suprise (unless he's reading my blog in his office).
