feeling abit down these past few weeks. its regarding to my job. although i really liked the job in the first place when i was selected, i couldn't really stand it now. there's alots of various reasons that contributed to it. yes the pay is high at 1,700/mth which brings it to about 10/hr if you count. nice money you may say? however with great salary comes great expectations. people expect you to know everything especially from me coming from a related diploma. my job requires me to handle all the import, warehousing and export duties. basically follow up stuff from entering and chasing it all the way till it goes out. it may seem easy but normally in logistics people handle import and export seperately. mine was like combining two job scopes into one. in addition i still need to go to the warehouse to do consolidation and packing of stuff. yes i am okay with the warehouse with all the dozens of forklifts zooming around me. there's also all the thick thick dust that you see on the goods which if you pat it you can see them flying without much light. my fingers and hands are all totally black after packing them with the dust and all stucked inside my finger nails. and mind you the goods are not as light as you think. i still have to combine them into a single pallet, take note of them and wrap them for the person to take down the dimensions and weight. i recently did stock check too flipping stocks from last year and there were spiders inside. nevermind its okay for me since i don't really mind them. there are harmless anyway. but what i can't tolerate is the person that is in charge of me. firstly she's a 30-40+ lady whose still single. my company is so small that the total staff count in singapore is elss than 10. and i cant mix with the rest of the departments as she told me not to. so lunch was always with her or alone. that's the first point which i cant tolerate. a job is surpose to be fun. everyone having lunch together, joking around and teasing each other. no matter the age. but for mine, the office is so quite that i can hear myself talking. everyone does their own work and doesn't communicate much. its all emails here and there. next is the person in charge of me doesn't teach me much. yes no doubt that i will gain alot of experience in the logistics sector. within these 4 weeks i have learnt a hell lot more than anyone. but alot of stuff i have to figure out myself as she doesn't teach me. and yet when she expects me to reach her standard. hello i am new here, if you don't teach me stuff like the format of the excel file that you want how the hell am i surpose to type it for you. i followed the copy that you sent me but its not the same. so what you want me to do? and i simply cant tolerate a person harping on the same point to me. she keep saying i need you to add value to me. i want quality not quantity. yes i am trying my very best to do what you want. i took down lots and lots of notes to remind myself of the stuff i need to track. they go by the tens to twenties of invoices. how you expect me to talk to you in the same frequency when i am new and all the words you use are so ailen to me. everyday you phrase something differently. next there's no trust. yes initially i may have not been up to standard. but i have learnt and did my best. if you cant trust your working partner how can we work together? some small stuff like item number she also cannot trust me. now when going to work i simply don't even greet her or talk to her and like wise she did the same to me. and i can say 50% of the time i am doing my own stuff which was like nothing. its hard to pass 8 hours doing nothing and acting like i am doing something. yes doing nothing and earning $80/day is good. but sorry i rather add value to my work. i realised that pay is not everything from this job. and work location is very important. i now wont mind 7/hr rate working in tampines just doing simply data entry. if the work culture is nice with loads of friends it will make my time there worth while. i need to give 2 weeks notice before i can quit. probably i shall tell it to her tomorrow. if she ask me to leave thru mutual consent i don't mind. my heart is already not there anymore. if you work with me you will know that when working i am very serious and i never terminate my contract before up till now. so you can see how bad this job is. going to work 9 hours not talking and doing nothing with this fella is gonna drive me crazy. the air is 'stifling' there if i can put it this way. that's why i took half a day off today. i havent told my parents yet. but i shall soon after i quit. i shall blog again soon on my personal stuff. i actually intend to blog only after i bought my phone. but this job is killing me and i need some where for me to vent my fustrations. they say girls cant focus when they have relationship problems while guys cant focus when they have work related problems. how true man. play game also no feeling. =(
