working in MV

9th July 2009, Thursday

It's getting to the near end of the week... But there's nothing much to celebrate cos working in this department means hell at every end of the week... There will be Work-In-Progress (WIP) meeting every friday and thursday would be the day whereby all the colleagues will be very anxious and stressed, little things can get on their nerves easily.

today is the second thursday that i've been through. Nonetheless, i have to be stress a lil' too cos colleagues tend to be envious towards the stress-free me and will start pumping up some work/shit for me to do, eg cleaning someone's table. well, i do have a small presentation this coming WIP meeting and i guess i should wet my pants to show them how stress i am.

last WIP meeting was dramatic. no one would ever imagine how it went. Working in big corporate company sounded like a dream come true but reality struck- it was the other way round. you'll never be able to imagine how sarcastic, straight-forward, and insensitive your bosses are. they can scold you idiot straight on your face. they can isolate you and make you feel like hell. things are not as systematic and as organized as you thought a corporate company should be. there are a lot of bitches and dickies on the run to hook you up with some kind of fault.

of course, it was a culture shock for me. having the discipline to clock in puntually everyday also indicates that i have the tendency to clock out on time. you can't have the best of both worlds. but the fact that they do not understand how much effort i've put in to adjust to this new environment makes it harder for me as a new kid on the block. *BIG SIGH*

things hadn't been going on too well for me, with people constantly criticizing, double standard, being in an out-group, etc etc. I am tired yet i am confident that if i were to persist, i can gain a lot from here and move on.
