Emotional Outburst
a day that i thought i could enjoy the peacefulness of the office and clear my stuff before shifting down next Wed, it turned out to be a day that made me went home with a stomach filled with anger..
as we (the temps and those on contracts) were the only ones in our division in office today, we were naturally arrowed to do stuff on behalf of the perms (in their absense). Ok, fine.. but the things for us to do needa be convincing in the first place.. pls, how will u expect people to come and attend a briefing cum interview at 3.30 when u wan us to call them in the morning on the same day.. even to the extent that at 12 plus, 1.. its not even logical! the hit rate would be so low.. seriously, if its me, i wont even come for the briefing cos there's not even enuff time for me to prepare and get out of the house! but there again, i cant sae much cos its' an order passed to us yeterdae by big boss.. fine.. follow instructions and nobody turned up for the briefing at 3.30.. waited till 430, still no pple.. the project coordinator (who was a perm that was onli newly recruited and tokked arrograntly) sms me and 'instructed' us to do more callings, to try and see if pple will attend a session tml! and asked us to come down tml (a sat) to help out.. her sms really got us so frustrated and angry.. it wasnt a nice sms! its like instructions! pls.. y wld we sacrifice our sat jus for sth that we knew yield zero outcome and at such short notice? and oso the temps has spent the past few days calling hundreds of pple to which only less than 10 people showed an interest! guessed the time i took to reply that sms was too slow, so big boss called me and asked.. told us they really hope to get more people to come for briefing, and hope that we all can do OT today till 8 plus 9! and come back again tml whole day and do calling and help out! it really gotten into me! this thing was so last min, and last min things dun yield results! but obviously big boss's orders cant be defied.. so fine, me and another 2 temps agreed to come tomorrow, but only for half a day.. it was 5plus then.. and really, all the frustrated us have no intention of doing OT, so packed our stuff and ready to leave.. but at 530, the project coord called me and asked if we are gg to do OT today? i said no, cos all of us are unavailable.. and she jus say, big boss ask u all do OT watz.. my blood was boiling and so i jus told her off that it was so last min and she cant possibly expect us to drop our appointments to do OT! guessed i spoke in a rather pissed manner that my temps and contract colleagues (who are equally frustrated) can see im REAL angry.. so she got my tone, and was fine with us not doing OT.. but wat she said next was like.. eh.. simply irresponsible.. she said, 'u all coming in tml morning right? u all do the callings and see if anyone will turn up for the briefing in the afternoon. we (the perms themselves) will be in in the afternoon. but if no one is interested in turning up, sms me and we wont be coming in the afternoon!' WAT????? i simply repeated wat she said to me back to her in a sacastic manner.. and luckily she got it..
this whole thing, though resolved in a rather good manner cos in the end as we dun need to turn up tml, was like simply uncaring! they (the perms) are outside at furama hotel for a meeting, leaving us in the office and expecting us to perform on behalf of them! and the fact is, us, the ones on contracts will not be in the company anymore from next weds.. for us, there's no nid for us to commit anything, and wat i did was jus helping out of goodwill and u cant expect me to be in office on a sat to help u when u perms jus enjoy ya sats! there's not even enuff days left for me to claim my time off! and the fact that there's so much things for us to do and so little people to do it is all cos of the reorg that made most of the temps left the company! u can’t expect a person to call like 100 plus people a day! we are not a call centre! seriously, im really there in the office cos i have to there.. yesh, it will seem to be not a nice way to put it.. but really, i started in the company with lotsa drive and enthusiasm.. but with the mismanagement of our feelings in the process of the reorg and the contract thing, things simply turns so.. eh.. sianz.. jus hope things will get betta, though it dun really look any promising but shall jus hope.. quite difficult to understand how im feeling now, but for a near perfectionist me, it a bitter pill to swallow in this type of circumstances..
okies, a long post.. jus felt like letting out the steam..
