Grumpy Old Man
Monday, March 03, 2008
My Ah Bang had been at his grump-iest ever for MONTHS on his blog abt his 'under-paid' job. Kinda sad to see him nag n nag :P I can understand his frustrations when he knew those new rookies - good for nothing - are earning more than he is. And watever the promises initially made aren't fulfilled. But his rattling are making me irritated...cos I feel him being stuck and cannot move on. I guess'd when you are unhappy with the WORK, try move on. I know he wants to move on, yet there're some hesitations here and there. So that makes him unhappy old man. His grumpy self is not doing him good at all. In my own opinion, the work style here is worse than the environment there SERIOUSLY. Doubt he will ever come back to sgp to work!!! For me, I DO want to find a NEW JOB becos I want a better career advancement & environment, salary will be secondary concern - it is STILL impt cos I hv a family to feed plus new commitments. I know there are more higher paid colleagues in other teams and I'm still a lower in RANKs. I see my team n myself work so hard, yet the other teams who can knock off on time and don't need to work as hard. I can only shakehead and close both eyes =.= Mr Tan also want to get new job (since last year), I do give him a little push as in "WHEN R U SWITCHING JOB?"...cos his current work is hazardous to health with the constant switching of sleeping patterns. Ms Piggy who also had been talking about new job since last year - had FINALLY found her "dream" job. Guess most of us, have job issues!!!!
Talking about DOLLARS is really sensitive issue. Even within my family, it can be frustrating at times. I used to b very concern when come to $. Now, I cover one eye and try within my means to make it a less irritating issue. So my own advise to ah bang is - Try ur best and work within ur means~.~

ah bang believes the hesitancy boils down to wanting to have stability. sick of keep changing jobs and doing freelance. ah bang even told them its hard to come in to work everyday knowing other companies out there value ah bang so much more and willing to pay ah bang ridiculously fat pay cheque for doing the exact same thing. lets hope negotiations with current coy will come good.

actually i'm totally in the same situation!! but i'm worse, i can't move on..whahawhhwhaw
den again, what goes around comes around. even those pple who are earning more than u and doing nothing, somehow or rather the pple with eyes would see who's the real person who can work: den again, they will just take advantage of that person who works at that miserable pay. =\ contradicting hor?
haiz...
