i still cry after everytime i watched it. cannot tahan la... ! enjoy.
Bad news: My Indian supervisors didnt confirm me at my new job, after 6 months of being here. I got the news of Thursday. There were racial problems on Merdeka eve which an Indian senior boss launch a very loud and racial attack kat I which led me to report it to the BIG boss which caused some people to berdendam and they finally did me in. They gave me the bad news just 2 days after I return from my raya haji break! Which was on the 26th! About right after I posted above!
Good news(?) After being told I would have to go, I was in a dazed. Shocked. Masa lepak kat surau, a few senior guys from a sister company (under the same roof) told me to see the BIG boss, which I did and which led me to being offered a new post at another department under a 3 months trial period. Im gonna have an official meeting with the BIG boss on Monday.
I know I should be happy right? But I dont feel so good. All these has left a bad taste in my mouth. But I am hanging on. Im not giving up yet but its tempting to just give all these up. I baru je balik cuti raya haji, to get the news just sucks.
Lesson? Well for one thing, Im glad I have a friend here to just get this off my chest. Tak boleh simpan. Lega sikit dapat keluar semua ni.
2nd, always be prepared for the rainy day. I didnt expect not to get confirmed. I thought everything was going well but went it happened, I dont know what I was going to do. I wasnt prepared financially and stuffs so it was scary.
3rd, Turn to God minta Dia tolong kita. If I tak pegi surau hari tu, I wouldnt have met those two guys to just boost me up to do something.
hey aswad, sorry to hear about that. but you know, kerja ada di mana-mana saja. I know it sucks to face all this crap especially when u least expected it. Dont give up! It's good that you have been offered a new post but please be sure to always shine. Laying offs are not so easy when your value to the company is through the roof. Do also remember that you can only take so much, if the company is not being fair to you, dont be afraid to spread your wings to other establishments. For now it is wise to take up the offer as im sure you are still appaled by the incident.
How it happened: After I jumpa the BIG boss, he took action right away and met with my supervisor who then met me and told me about the job offer. Of course I took up the offer right away because I would be out of a job just like that. My supervisor wasnt pleased that I tarik tali but who cares, kalau tidak I would be out on the streets on my bum. At least from now on, I can actually prepare something in advance just in case they pull another crazy stunt like this.
The problem now was due because I was too confident on getting confirmed and didnt prepared for the worse. Office politics here is also the worse especially as its very racial. (BTW I work for a newspaper). I datang dari simple small town in where all these racial things tak macam kat sini. But Im learning that KL memang macam ni sometimes.
Yes you are right about not being afraid about looking for a new venture somewhere. I yang jadi stress a bit ni is because I gotten used to the salary here and I takut I wont be able to get this much time ekonomi macam now.
Yes, about shining at the new post, well I can just do my best. Ironically, I originally applied for that post (writer) but they stick me to sub-editor position (which I originally didnt like because mainly graveyard hours thus contributing to my depression (lol) but the money was ok and I was coping and getting used to the hours. SO yeah, not being confirmed here and offered the writing post is a blessing in disguise! but I still need a black and white and until I do, I am still a bit dangling lah. Cant wait for that meeting on Monday!
But if tak dapat juga (worse case scenario), then like you say, rezeki ada di mana-mana. I am glad to have been given the experience, good and bad.
Again, thank you for listening/reading. I will keep you updated. :)
