Welcome to Jackie’s Page

I hate my job, I really do.. I feel like the company is taking so much advantage of its employees, it’s driving everyone absolutely mad. It’s not as if we don’t work hard enough, cos we work averagely eleven to twelve hours per day, but it’s just never enough for the company. It just intends to “squeeze till you dry out”. After going through all that stress from work, I was really looking forward for the long weekend during the Merdeka week. I’ve really been working so much and so hard all these while, I was dying for a break. I was totally excited about the break until the company declared that we have to work full shift including Saturdays and Sundays till 2^nd of September in our new store which is officially opening this week. The company just loves utilising its free man power during public holidays and had never ever intended to pay a single cent to compensate us. It annoys me a lot as we are doing this as a favour for the company, and yet the company would put it in a way that if you don’t turn up to help, you will surely have a hard time during the “bonus and increment period”. I remember the most sucking experience was during Christmas 2005, where most of us were sent to

Penang

to help out for a new store opening. It really felt so bad having to be away on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve!

But at least back then I had a really understanding boss who doesn’t bother me too much. He had never ever called me over the weekend either. He was the sweetest boss I ever had. But even since I transferred to this new department, I’m having so much headache and stress over the weekends. My boss just tends to call or sms me to discuss about business, which is not even important. It’s not as if I could get something done over the weekend even though I am informed about it, so what’s the point of bothering me anyway? It really gets on my nerves. Sometimes I feel like replying him “Would you die if you wait till Monday to tell me about this?” I mean, when the issue not really top urgent, it’s just so inconsiderate to be calling about business when Saturdays and Sundays are my official rest days. I have other things to worry about over my weekends, so is it really too much to ask to leave me alone just for that 48 hours? I got really annoyed on the weekend where I came back from my

UK

trip, he made me travel to Johor for a farm visit, without any prior notice. I had to attend my church anniversary dinner that same evening so I told him I couldn’t make it. I thought he would understand as he is a Christian too. But no, he asked me to go in the morning, where I had to get up at 3:45am that day, and rush back to KL in the evening.

I’m hoping to leave this job soon, cos it’s just too stressful for me. My manager is currently pregnant and she’ll be off for her maternity leave in November. My boss promised to hire someone to assist me in running the department, but so far, there was no action taken at all. This job really sucks! For those who know which company I work for, then I’m warning you now, please don’t ever apply for a job here. You will definitely regret it!
