3rd day at work, so far so good but then hor, starting to get a bit stressed le. My exisiting colleague is leaving on Friday and my temp gal is thinking of resigning as well cuz she has been offered a perm position. I think she would like to stay but then job security is of a higher priority.
Jia lat leh, if she goes then I last man standing le leh, still not very familiar with all the procedures yet, how to teach new staff? What's worse, I'm supposed to be on a 3 day overseas trip next week, where got time to do operations?
Tried to psycho the temp gal to stay by helping her to analyse her options. Though for personal reasons, I'll not want her to leave, but at the end of the day, the decision is still hers to make. Maybe, I'll try to talk to boss about putting her on perm payroll but under probation. At least then it gives her some reassurance of job security. See how bah...
Sigh... thinking on the positive side, I'll be able to learn more if I'm left to swim thru the shit. I'll rather be a hands-on mgr than a theory-and-talk only kind, though that's gonna be the tougher route, heheh
Now I can only hope to learn and absorb as much as possible before I'm left on my own. Been so tired that I can't be bothered to bring my vampire for a spin =(
Good thing is that most of my colleagues leave by 6pm so I suppose not much OT is required, except during month end closing or when payments have to be made, a far cry from Ah Geok's Dept. People here actually leaves ON THE DOT... How cool is that? Hahaha
On the down side, dun like to lunch in Raffles Place though, the crowd is terrible. Here, people go out at 12pm sharp but these few days, I prefer to go out later buy back and eat at my desk, its more relaxing. And oh, colleagues wise, they are not as warm or friendly as those in Ah Geok's Dept but they are still nice lah... Takes me 3 days to know the people in my Finance Dept, not too bad I guess...
