I am swamped

Reason for lack of updates – I am swamped with work.

Building a few websites at one go is killing me. The amount of technical issues are horrendous, and do those people care? They think they have an entire department to do the job for them. In reality, that “entire department” is just me. One person, one PC and a pair of hands.

I told myself this is the last time I’m going to do this. If they cannot with me a good reward by year end and still don’t want to hire a junior staff, these websites are gonna be my latest portfolio. I am going to job interviews to demand higher pay.

Damn!

Pearl milk tea and job hunting

It’s been a while since I last indulged in food other than my meals. I was very busy the past week. Actually I was attending job interviews and went for my second interview while running a fever. I feel like giving myself a little reward for the hard work I put in.

The milk tea is so so only. I don’t think I will buy again.

Back to the job…

It is highly unlikely I will be leaving my current job. Why do companies think they can pay so low for people with experience and skills they’re looking for? Why do HR treat every new recruit like a fresh grad? 6 months probation? 16 days annual leave pro-rate to 8 days?

I don’t fancy the points or products by the way. If they’re so concern about getting good people, they should make people feel they’re valued. Not by imposing rules that is only beneficial for the company. It should be fair for both parties.

All I want is fair salary, shorter probation period and give me all my leave even though I join in the middle of the year. I am not someone who take advantage of employee benefits, I carry forward my entire year of leave for the past 2 years and I now have 17 days per annum, I also have proof that I got 3 months bonus based on my performance for the past year in my current job. I will not give up my job for 6 months of uncertainty.
