Yay!!!

I've been promoted in conjuction to my conformation after the probation period. 6 months has passed so easily, and the first day I reported to work in this company was still so vivid in my memory as though it was just yesterday. Everyone was quite surprised that months has gone and I'm now wearing uniform already... Oh, the uniform, let us not dwell much about it or else this will be endless.

 

Anyway, I've already updated half of the story last week, if I'm not wrong.

 

Let me update you the second half of the story now. Thursday, if I'm not wrong, I went to talk to my superior about the increment. I braved myself with a deep breath and knock the door and went in, said my piece, came out and walk away with a sigh of relief. Not relief about what I've told her or the fact that she'll look into this matter, but more on the fact that I've already said what I wish to convey, rather than being a coward and keep it to myself.

 

However, after 2 weeks, what I've expected happened. Although she did look into this matter and did some adjustment, however, the sum wasn't really to my expectation and I was quite disappointed. The end result was just something to appease me after the conversation. It does alter the fact that I'm still considered as a cheap labour - or maybe, in their eyes - we are. Slaves which should not be too bothered about and does not deserves to strife to live in the life as they are. Therefore, It's quite disturbing and somehow, showed me the "togetherness" they have been talking about. It was just nothing but just lip service.

 

With such instance, I made my decision. I need to survive and at where I'm now, I can't be dawdling in my life no more and I should have a bottom life defined by myself, rather by someone with the nature of belittling their subordinates.

 

On a more relaxing note, from my point of view which I believe everyone will concurs with me. The 2010 Word Cup which is towards the end  will be won by the Germans. They are strong in teamwork, fast on the attack and a dedicated defences had caused upsets to several teams who happened to be favourites before the World Cup such as England and the Argentina. Therefore, don't forget to watch it...

 

 

Cheers,
