Baby Face

Baby Face

Today at work, twice, customers directly commented to me that I look young. Though that is not the first time I have come across this, still I feel kinda embarressed.

On both occasions, I asked the same question.... "hmmm... so how old do you think i really am?"

One replied Im not even 20yrs.... Hell shit!!!! Do i really look so boyish???
while the other came close at 23 years....

Of course i had a nice laugh with them...
Come to think of it... is looking young and boyish a good thing or bad?
Another thing to ponder eh... ...

Confirmation... ...

Confirmation... ...

As the usual saying goes, time indeed flies... Just like that, 3 months have since passed since the day i start work at Mount E. That also marks the end of my 3 months probation. Upon confirmation, I received a decent rating by my executive.

Words have been passing around the place that I will be furthering my studies. In any way, they are not expecting me to stay long. Just hope whatever time I have left in my days in Mount E would be a pleasant one...

Surprises At Work

Surprises At Work

Working close to 3 months... I have come to know the different characteristics from different colleagues. One thing is for sure, the turnover rate is high.

I was off for 3 days. Today back at work. The first surpise was to hear that one colleague has just resigned, with notice of just 24 hours. *blink *blink... wow.. that is indeed fast and sudden. While that is a surprise for me, my AM who has already hand in her resignation, is close to serving her 3 month notice. Tml will be her last day. During lunch time, I had to go to Taka to find a suitable farewell card. It will be circulated among the colleagues to write their wishes for her.

And it doesnt end there. Just as I was about to leave office today, I was just casually chatting with one of the cashier. Then out of nowhere, she said that she also is planning to resign too. She claimed that she can't take in the stress.... *Blam!!! Three knockout punch man... keke...

This shows something.... That is to think about.,... Is the working environment that stressful such that people come and go so fast? or is it something is missing in the mangement and leadership that should be exsisted in the company... Who would think that such an established medical facility, with a its own training centre, which can claimed as the most expensive hospital in Singapore be having such "scams" or rather incidents that people do not know of...

Well, does it just happen in one place, or does it happen everywhere whether is it big, or small companies.... if that's the case, really... does working for people... for companies... really worth the time and effort.... In return, do we get what we deserved in terms of remuneration, recognition, rewards... Indeed, something to ponder.... ....
