Finally, I am logging on to my own blog to update something :P I seriously nearly forget about my own blog's address (I think it is some 老人痴呆症 or some unhappy episode after the first Quarter of the year?)
Maybe I did not mention about the organization restructing, aka retrenchment, aka lay off etc on April 15, 2009. My nearly 3 years of service with AMD ended and I was jobless (Ok...I admit I did not go find a job actively) for coming 3 months.
On July 7, I was back to AMD on contract basis taking over my colleague as Finance Analyst. It was a tough and rough 2 weeks of training which I seriously nearly quitted as working as individual (in seperate department is so different from working/taking over the job). Nevertheless, that was a past and I left AMD again (swearing that I will not want to join AMD again due to the disappointment of the management). To summarize, I was offered as a Team Leader for my previous position as Disti Ops Analyst (Asia Pac)with approval to work as contract staff but later after a month, without any form of signal, the "blame" was pushed to HR saying that they do not want to take me back...Anyway, later part of the story is that HR only question if the management made the wrong decision to terminate my service in early April 2009, if yes, what is to be done as I took the "package".
Anyway, it is very typical of some stupid management whom will not want to admit the mistake as the whole motive is to move operation to Penang so that they will be "more powerful" and become the "untouchable" in the organization, decided to shut me out from the position totally....Well, I would say it is a big knowledge loss on the organization part and I can proudly say it is a lost of TALENT also...(ahem....talent is me lah...dun faint hor...)
Ok, back to this contract job I am taking...It is in NTU, I am a finance officer whom will oversee 3 staff relating to payment on claims (overseas conferences and trip). I got a big working cubicle which I am surprised as the rest of the officer/manager's cubicle is quite decent only.
My immediate superior is a lady whom is very clear on what she wants and I can feel that she is grooming me as I think she see the potential in me. She even asked me to learn proactively on taxes for NRP (Non Resident Profession) so that my resume will look more impressive. OH!! She is one of the 3 interviewers whom commented that I had lot of experiences despite I am not a degree holder.
I am working late today as I got to make sure one of the staff finishes his backlog and I have to check his work before I pass to my boss to approve (This is just temporary as I am on OJT).
Out of the 3 staff, 2 of them are quite old. One aunt, more than 15 years of service at least...she is like grandma type. One malay man, 12 years of service, another younger lady is about 7 years....so all quite "old bird" liao...Grandma more difficult to handle....their mindset is kind of "old fashion". Response quite slow...
Oh!! I am working on XP hor...very slow system...hahaha...and I got to wait for a few mins before I can open, click "reply" on the outlook....my typing is faster than what the system can reflect...It is a totally different environment...Hope I get a perm position here before the contract ends...
