Settling down with my work

After 8 mths of working here, I would say I finally feel tat I've settled down. Frankly, it wasn't ez.

1st, the agreement during interviews did not match wif actual circumstances (tis has caused a great dissappointment rite from the start thereby affecting my morale). 2nd, Korean culture is worst than the Japanese culture. 3rd, I took a long time to adapt (jus to clarify, adapting does nt mean accepting) to my bosses' working style. 4th, I hv difficulty understanding my job scope and process as none hv been clearly define. Even to date, there is no real job definition. Basically, I am to do whatever I was told to. Despite the fact that other CSRs are not doing. Also, I guess I've accepted the fact that there is no real process in the MNC! The expectation is u created u own process if u can, or jus follow wat is initially passed down to u. It's jus the blind leading the blind as tis organisation simply does not believe in being organised. *haha* Trust me, I wasn't exaggerating. However, it's difficult to understand how bad is bad til u work here. Words jus simply can't describe the situation. *wink*

If I continue, I tink the list can be very long. But the abv 4 points are the few main issues I faced. Over these mths, I've throw countless tantrums, fighting for my rites (as in wat was offered to me rite at the start), comtempleting to leave the Co numerous times, cursing work, sum times, even cried over the situations I hv on hands. Who would hv known, wat is it like to b cheated into a Co. I've more than doubled my work, getting a less annual income, longer working hours, mentally more tired and mayb jus more tempermental.

Looking at the range of 'events' that have happened since working here, I guess I can proudly say, I've made great friends (hugz), I've grown wiser (as in I guess I would nt b easily cheated into the nex job tat comes by), more efficient (when u r almost fire fighting all e time, u jus hv to push urself b fast), more appreciative of time for rest, and somehow, sleeps beta (probably due to the high stress level during work causing the mental tiredness)

Oh Oh, time to knock off lor. Will write again (hopefully soon) *smiles*
