We Will Survive!
Come end of next month, most of our gang will be out of that shit hole. Of course, the stooges in charge happen to think that we will never survive outside in the big bad world.
Well, I’ve got news for you. We will, and WE HAVE.
So go on, continue to view your little universe through your rose tinted glasses. It’s gonna implode soon, but don’t listen to me. You obviously think that that sorry excuse for a company will soldier on, huh? OK, have it your way. We’ll not be around to hear you pathetic losers drown with your sinking ship.
That smelly, salted fish had told me before that it’s not easy to find a job these days so we’d better appreciate it while we still have one and abide by his rediculous rules & regulations.
Little did he know that when he gave me that little lecture I already had a job waiting for me. I was just waiting to get an official offer letter before throwing in my resignation. I’ll bet the humble pie he had to eat when I submitted my resignation was hard to swallow.
Oh well, Milady, Datin CB must have said something to him. At that time, I still confess everything to her, not knowing the snake that was hiding behind that smile.
It’s very hard for HIM to find another job, I agree with that. After all, no one wants to hire someone who already has one foot in a retirement home and the other in his grave.
Also, I’d like to see him trying to survive outside Tan See’s umbrella. I very much doubt he can get another job without mentioning Tan See’s name as a reference, any more than he can survive working in the big bad world without Godfather’s protection.
On the other hand, I don’t have a five-year plan of where I will be in my career five years down the road or shit like that. I don’t expect to hold certain positions when I hop to another job or have certain amount of salary. It all depends on how happy I am there, that’s what’s important.
As the Cantonese saying goes, "Dong kar um tar, tar sai kar", which means if you don’t want to work for the house in the North, then work for the house in the South.
Working life is like that. I mean, look at me. I’m pretty happy where I am now and I’m getting access to all these opportunities that I wouldn’t have if I had stayed to rot in that shit hole.
Another thing I really believe in, "Love your job, but don’t fall in love with your company because you’ll never know when your company will stop loving you."
Having this open ticket has given me the flexibility to survive thus far.
And if they think that they want to claim from outgoing staff for any instances of "non hand over of job properly" or "sabotage", well, I very much doubt that’s gonna happen. The company is not going to be around that long for them to do anything.
Anyway, we don’t need to do anything unhonorable to throw a spanner in their works. The stooges running the company are doing a damn fine job at it themselves.
