I’m starting to dislike my job. It is not as challenging as it was offered to me back in May 2005. At least right now. When I saw their ad, I told myself that this job was for me. It felt just right. The ad said : A MULTINATIONAL JAPANESE MANUFACTURING COMPANY….looking for someone who has public relations skills…. has knowledge in legal affairs…etc. Back then, I was already taking up law and PR is my major. —-> As expected, I got the job.

My first year was a bliss. I was busy attending to trade remedy cases… meeting people in various government agencies…learning the ins and outs and the not so technical areas of glass production. Promotions, perks. But now, I’m starting to see the bad side of everything. I feel like caged in a PUPPET management. We have JPL’s counterpart here. We have expats who are earning more and more than what they can chew. We have PEOPLE up there who are desperately wanting to shine and projecting to be “uber” clean when in fact, they are just protecting their own interests. Whoever said that corruption only lies in the government?
I started counting what I don’t like and here goes the random list:
1. Time is totally wasted in different meetings. Expats are sleeping. Some attendees are not supposed to be there as their partcipations are not required.
2. Flag ceremony everyday. Japanese first, then our NATIONAL ANTHEM. One Japanese here does not even respect their national anthem. Why should I?
3. There was this one messy expat who smelled…WHATEVER!
4. Management-staff forum where employees are encouragesd to air what they think about the system. So they “AIRED”. Air nga eh. Air lang. ;p
5. …and more.
I just can’t leave right now. I need to graduate first and it makes me sad…
P.S.
Agenda : MEETING (one of those)
