I finally quit

I quit my temp job at SMRT. I choose to be happy and not torture myself or keep telling myself this self-assuring lie that the next day at work will be a better one. Had a minor discussion with the supervisor in charge of this plan and the HR guy on Thursday to remedy the situation. Crap. I can't be bothered whether they still want us around or what... It's much better for all parties if they just terminate our contract of service, and pay us our due salaries. The HR guy promised that we'll still be paid even if we decide to leave the company. So now it's up to us CS girls and the job agency.

Anyway, the agency's supposed to send a representative down to let me sign the contract on Friday, so it's Just Nice. We somehow managed to fight our way out of the contract and leave the company. Yeah!! The real excitement comes after the whole drama-- One of the temp girls read the emails that was sent via the company's internal email system. Hah. The management people are complaining about us--- saying that we're only sitting around, chatting amongst ourselves, and not doing any work at all.

It's amazing how childish and ignorant those people shareholders pay so much, and the staff call them "big boss" and "managers" can be. Be a man and let's fight it out in the open! If you really think that your points are valid and strong enough, do it publicly!! What's with all the sneaky emails and fake concerns about our work performance??!!

Maybe you may say "oh no... you're going to regret what you said this week in the meetings and discussions. You're still young and in the future, you'll know that what you said today is wrong." I'm not going to regret anything I've said. Cos that would mean that the Xinrong in June 2005 is wrong. I'm not going to blame myself in the future for something I so strongly believe in now. There're some things that we all possess when we're young, and they slowly leave us as we grow. The courage to speak up is one of them. I'm glad I spoke up, and argued for what I believed in.

There're a few reasons which I think contribute to me leaving the job--

i) I don't have faith in the product I'm working with.

ii) The company's "top people" simply don't respect us.

iii) I should have rested for a while first before jumping into a temp job atraight after my final college exams.

iv) The money is too little compared to others in the market now.

v) I'm in a slack mood.

Anyway, I'm FREEEEE now. Going to make sure I enjoy my freedom first before looking for another temp job. Going to look for a new gym to take my yoga classes since my old one closed down due to lease issues. Sigh. I like yoga.........
