When one is not working in a true place
Someone was telling me that it has been yonks since I updated my blog and that she was tired of seeing my feet being nibbled by fish.... oooook.... so here is a new entry!
Been a long time since I have written anything. Largely due to the fact that i have been working.
How is my new work environment? I have mixed feelings about it. I can't help but feel that everyone is damn pretentious. From the head honcho to my head of dept to some other people in other departments. My colleagues and peers are ok. I can get along well with them.
My head honcho? Well, initially I thought he was a nice guy. Especially on my first day where I was reading up on PR coverage. He seemed to be really concerned about other people's well being, sensitive (especially when he teared up in one interview about his late father) etc. But as I knew more about him, i really got more disgusted. He's actually a very scheming person. And looks like my PR company did a really good job. It's all just a facade. I got even more disgusted when I found out that he made the whole company work to organize his wedding. Can you imagine that? All the extra weekends burnt just to prep the wedding. My department had to man the reception and as such had to engage their own stylist & make up artiste etc, since it was at a very luxurious hotel with very important guests attending. AT THEIR OWN COST! And after all was done, they didn't even get a day off. They didn't even get a token ang pow. All they got was a "Thanks guys". Now that's seriously fucked up. Now you know why the rich keep getting richer? Because they just exploit the poor. Fucking Assholes.
My head of department. Where do I even begin? She's such a bitch. Ok, maybe not, but she's just like a typical female. The kind that whines and whines. Worse still, she doesn't have a sense of dignity. Imagine this: she is interviewing for new staff. After the interview, she can come to our department and lambast about the interviewee. I mean, it makes you wonder what she was thinking about you when she hired you doesn't it? What's more, she bitches about the other Asst managers to one of the asst manager, the one that she is close to. If that Asst manager were a total bitch, she could've taken the opportunity to stab the others in the back! But more importantly, how can you bitch to some one about their peers? It's just shows a lack of integrity and what kind of bloody leader are you??
Seriously not feeling motivated in this company and just waiting to get my 1 yr of experience before moving on. But others have told me to just move on. If it is something which I don't like, why even bother to torture myself?
