My dream job

Image
I want to have a job that will keep me busy for 8 hours. This means that I can be busy as hell for the whole 8 hours in the office but still I will be able to go home at exactly 5PM. I want to work in a place I can call my second home. A place that you will be comfortable to show your real self. I want to work with people I can treat as friends or like family. I want to work for a company that understands and respect family time. I want to work with people who willshow care and concern that only for me but also for my whole family. I want to work for a company that allowsworking from home as long as you can deliver and complete your required tasks. I want to work for a company that is stable and that I will not worry for my future. I want to work for a company that candefine a clear career plan for me. I want to be able to know that if I strive hard, I can reach the top. I want to work for a company that will offer an attractive compensation package. Okay, I thi...

A typical day at the office

This is what the left side of my cubicle looks on a typical day. Right side just includes laptop and some files. This is what my normal day looks like in the office: 745 - 800 My typical arrival at work, log in the attendance sheet, greets                            receptionist good morning 801 - 805 I go to my cubicle, smile and greet everyone.

Then and Now...

What I miss about my old company 1) Of course, I miss the people. Myold company is like my second family. I do not need to wear a mask or pretend to be someone when I am there.

I love them and miss working with them. 2) I miss going home at 3:45 every Friday.Yes, we work at 7 - 5 PM from Mondays to Thursdays but we get the reward every Friday because we only work up to 3:45. 3) I miss the business travels. Thanks to my old company, I was able to go to the US thrice. I also go to Malaysia at least twice a year. 4) I miss the convenience of working at home. Note that this is not a standard practice. But if I have early morning telecon or if there is an emergency, I was allowed to work at home, provided that I accomplish all my to-do tasks for the day and that I will be able to reply to all emails as soon as possible. What I like about my new company Yes, I have been with my company for almost four months now and these are t...
