Alright. So… a lot have been asking how was my first day of work. Well…. IT’S SUCK. Okay. Maybe a bit exaggerated…
Okay. I was fooled by the presentation of the company’s website, and the building as well. They made it looked like they are a huge ass company. But in reality, the office consists only 8 permanent employees, 4 were Executive Officers for Technical, Management, Admin & Finance, and Customer Service. They only have 3 normal workers. 4 were interns, including me.
When I first stepped in, the conditions of the office horrified me. The airconds were SO OLD, the tables are messy, and there were NO COMPUTERS provided for the trainees. The whole place were practically run-down like a rat hut.
And when I was briefed at the Chief of Technical Officer’s room, his shelves were made of FEDEX boxes……… He just briefed us about our job scope. What we need to do. He didnt even explain about our allowances, leaves, working time, working attire, facilities, etc etc etc…. just work work work.. what? we are your slaves?
I think this company just depend on trainees to cut cost. As far as Im concern, there wil be a lot of projects coming soon. He mentioned about revamping a few portals and website. Here is were we will be slaved.
Today I did some “productive” work… The Senior assigned to me, Mr.D asked me to correct the grammars of a website. . . I did as I told. The english were so horrifying I dont understand a single thing! I had to read again and again to rephrase the sentences. Then Mr.D was some sort not satisfied with my work, he had Ms.F (another senior) to correct my paragraphs…. And she uses “A CHINESE-TO-ENGLISH Dictionary…….” Fine. Whutever. I’m da nub.
Second task was updating the Rapid Penang’s website. Simple task. I had to use notepad to code it cuz DreamWeaver doesnt like me. It couldnt be launched for X-Reasons.
Colleages were not so friendly. Not the social type. Only Mr.D who sits next to me talks a lot. Yap Yap Yap Yap… bla bla bla…
My work starts at 10am… but I have to wake up at 6am to follow Ara’s parents to work. They’ll drop me at Komtar and I’ll have to wait until 9.30am only walk to Melaka Street. Then my work finish at 6pm and they’ll have to wait 1 hour for me to pick me up…. so troublesome…. haihz…. sienz……… why I cant drivezzzzz….
four months… how I gonna go through this?
