Downtimes

Would it be surprising that I'm undergoing a rough path at work? Well, just part and parcel of life I suppose. I honestly don't quite know how to put in words what I've been going through at work over the past 2 days.

To sum it all up, I'm just more willing to quit my job. I don't feel there's much to hold me back now, since I am aware of the complaints against me. There's a Chinese saying that says the wise knows when to go and come at the right times. And this is a time to leave.

It's not some injustice I suffered though. It would be without doubt that their complaints are true. I use the internet during working hours, my chats with colleagues from the corporate sales side is a "little too loud", I go for break that are a little too long. And the best one is that I slack on the job. I slack? Well, I haven't quite seen my predecessor do more work in a week as compared to what I complete in a day. My team, which include my colleague and I, covered up a backlog of an entire month's work in a mere 2 weeks.

And what are we told? The previous guys in my position said this job can be completed with OTs(overtimes). Well, I should say to my superiors that they should learn how to fire those who can't and can't be bothered to work then. Is it not more important that I finish more than a day's work on a daily basis than focus on my inequities?

To be fair, my supervisor was nice, truly, to have not mentioned all this to me until I approached him to discuss when I should resign. He thought he really didn't have to bother me about such things since we were doing our work, coupled with the fact that I'm leaving soon. But alas! It revealed to me the undercurrents of politics and arrow pointing in a corporate environment. And in a recent chain of events, I realised there's tai-chi, an ancient Chinese martial arts school and philosophy, played in this company.

Well, enough said for now. I'm just looking forward to a good break, away from unseen eyes which spys on and scrutinizes our every action and dangerous mouths that spit forks of flame and daggers to your back.

And I think I should think about how to avoid having a job in future.

Hopefully my free time is used properly to increasing my forex power in July.
