Workplace Reality

Just reflecting a post in Wei's blog.

I may not be the best person to comment on workplace politics/tactic/managment or blabla because I have just worked slightly more than a year.

However, my job requires me to work closely with HR department of major companies, even the goverment departments.

Exploitation happens everywhere, especially in places where the job market is competitive. Perth on the other hand is facing terrible skill shortage so employees are more valuable.

I have to admit that I am being exploited in my current company; but I don't mind because learning is my priority now.

If recognition and money are your priorities, then you better pray damn hard that you will find a MNC with fantastic superiors to hire you. But if you are only a tiny fresh graduate or ordinary working class who has 3 yrs working experience as a admin officer or account officer; you will not be noticed! Build your portfolio before you demand!

Be realistic people...... they are business people aka investors; they wont invest on you unless you are a blue chip!

Ok.... side track

Did I ever mention that I don't like my friends calling me when I am at work? I don't mind if you have something to tell/ask me when I am at work, but please make it short and clear! If I say, "Ok, I will call you later". Then you better say "ok, bye". Dont keep talking!

I am always on MSN when I am at work, leave a msg and I will respond as soon as I can. If I don't reply, means I am either in a meeting or I am on the phone. Just be patient; don't send me 10 msgs going "you there?'. If I dont reply on the first 'you there", means I AM NOT THERE! DUH!



An interesting and funny conversation over MSN.
