Hi all,
I recently quit my job at Yellow Pages on a whim. But I don't regret it. Well it isn't exactly on a whim considering I have been thinking of quitting. But I simply quit without finding another job first. So right now I'm kinda dangling in mid-air, without the feeling of stability, and I kinda hate that feeling.
So I quit because I really couldn't stand the way things were in the company. We were not even allowed to surf the net during times when there seriously was nothing to do, we were not allowed to use our mobiles, everybody is the typical office lady/boy, what's worse, we have to be at work on the dot. Like really on the dot, not even 1 min late that kinda thing. But of course I still come late. Haha. But I do try.
It was the last straw when I found out I was paid a whole
$600 lesser than my other colleagues when we were doing the exact same jobs and had the exact same duties. This was just because I was a contract worker and not a permanent worker. But this is just ridiculous! Why should I be getting less money just because I'm not staying in the company for long? I am still producing the same results as my colleague! Why should I be paid less for that?
What if I lied to the HR person who interviewed me that I would be working permanently, and then quit a few months later? I would have gotten an accumulated 2.4K more already!! Cheebye la. The thought of it just makes me wanna weep.
So now I'm job hunting, and there's this really cool creative company called
Thinc who's employing at the moment. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that the pay they're offering is good, and that they'll employ me. The office looks damn nice!! Like the type I'd totally enjoy working in!
Sometimes I wish I can be a professional mahjong player and earn money just by playing mahjong. =(
