~~ Resignation~~
(With interesting moments to remember)
I've tendered my resignation. Happy to leave the co but cant bear to leave my operators. They are really a fantastic bunch of people.
- Cheerful & young,
- playful (at time which can really make me angry but can make me smile whole- heartedly too),
- takes initiative (when they realise something is wrong, they tell me and not when i happen to find out),
- helpful (esp when i needed their help).
I'm pretty sure that they dont do anything to the product to sabotage me. For the other group, Im not sure. I dont really care much either, because i'm leaving.
During my poly days, in the main committee of a club, my lecturer in charge always tell us: "The pillars of a building are the most important, it helps to keep the building stand. Without these pillars, the building would go "out of shape" and might even collapse."
Pillars of the company does not mean the top management, but the lowly paid workers - the operators. These are the people that are doing the work, as in MANUALLY doing the work. Without them, the company can might as well close down.
We always have to look after the lowest of the lowest in the co, as they are the most important people. They might not be easy to teach, their culture might be different from ours, their working style and attitude might not be right but they are still human. We got to treat them like one, and not like dogs or cows.
There's one time when I was so angry with one of the supervisors at my co, he called one of the China operators : "OEI!!", and the guy did not respond. The supervisor then commented that this guy have a problem with his attitude. I asked him why he call people like that and say they got attitude when they didnt even know he's calling them. .
He can even tell me: " Then what you want me to call him? Call him Sir?"
I told him off: " People got name right? And you dont even bother to know people's name and still dare say people got attitude??"
He kept quiet. He knew he was in the wrong and maybe thought that I was too bitchy to bother about something that wasnt my business. He was here in this co for over a year, till today, he still cannot be bothered to know each of the operator's name. He only know his favourites'.
"Production is KING." Liz, my Aussie lecturer would always say. I totally agree. You treat them well enough, no worries about sabotaging and that's ONE major worry gone.
Lately, I've been quite angry with one of the supervisor that came down from JB to help out with cleanliness of the production and warehouse. This guy came into my room, opened ALL the drawers and cupboard in my room without my permission and keep asking me questions like: " What is this? what is that? Who's is it? If its not yours, why dont you throw?". The wrong thing he did is to bother me while I'm super busy with my stuffs.
I was soooo damn irritated by him that I asked him in a rude tone: " Why are you here (in my co) for?"
" To look after the cleanliness of the warehouse and production"
" Then why dont you go in there and do instead of coming to my room and disturb me?"
" If its such a small room I cannot handle, how to handle such a big area?"
" But THAT's your priority, production and warehouse, NOT my room, right?"
" But If its such a small room I cannot handle, how to handle such a big area?" He repeats.
" I thought you were sent over here because you are good in that??" (sarcastically). He looked shocked then he started to change the topic.
" How long have you been here?" He asked.
" What? How long? For what you want to know? If you really want to know, go ask HR la."
" I dont know how come you can be here, Your attitude is very bad."
" My attitude is bad ONLY towards YOU." I said angrily and he walked out.
WTF! You come into my room, disturb me while I'm busy and still say I got bad attitude. I've never quarrelled with ANYONE in this Company, you can go around asking people! The only people I scold in office are the production workers when they are really naughty. For fug I shout at you if you dont disturb me in the first place? Mad..
The 2nd thing he did was a funny one. He came into my room, took the whole file shelfing away and placed all the files into the new cupboard I've just bought. It was an empty cupboard with locks so that I can keep confidential and sensitive documents in there. But the shelves came in when I was soo busy doing QC testings and QA documentations at the same time, and I did not have time to transfer them.
He took the shelves and put it at the warehouse areas to keep their files. I was so shock beacuse its such a BIG thing and they actually took it out without telling me! It belong's to QA dept hor!!
I kept quiet and pretended nothing happen. I did not confront them asking them why they took it on that day but I went around complaining. It was really a funny situation la. I was telling the operators about it, they all laughed because its a BIG thing lei!! They then say: "Ok! Never mind, We'll help you bring it back later!"
The next morning, it was back in my room at its original state, files in there and other important files in the new cupboard as well! I locked the cupboard up and kept the keys. =)
The supervisor came in wanting to do something else, he looked shocked that the cupboard was back in my room. He asked me:" Eh? How come this is over here?"
" Oh, you know that this is suppose to be here in the first place?"
" Ya, but I've moved it out yesterday." Still having the shocked look.
" Ya, I brought it back into my room and do you know that its very rude for you to take other people's thing without their permission?"
" Ya i know, but you are busy what.." Still can tell me you know! Pui!!
" Ya, I busy, but this cupboard belongs to QA, not warehouse or production. So you should still ask me right?"
" Yes, I know I should ask you, but I need it urgently."
" Oh, if you need it urgently, you can go raise a PR and order one, it will be here within 3 days."
I was thinking to myself: Please la, how urgent can a shelf be? Its for files lei, and the files has been there since beginning of this year. And the best thing, till TODAY, no shelves are ordered. Urgent? Ha! My foot!
He then keep commenting on how bad my attitude is, etc.. Like as if I care how you look at me because You Fugging Idiot are wrong in the first place.
I then added on:" Do you know that if you were to asked me to give your the shelves yesterday, I would have given it to you?"
" Oh is it? Then if I were to ask you today, will you give it to me?"
" Of course not, why should I?"
" ya da ya da ya da..." Then here goes the "attitude problem" topic again..Didnt bother to listen much to him also, so I didnt know what he was talking.
Every single day that I'm still here, I'm not going to let you take advantage of me! Dont think just because my title is a Lab Tech and you are a Supervisor, I have to respect you. If you want my respect, Respect me first! Just dont understand how come people can abuse their authority so much. I believe in: " What goes around, comes around." I dont care what you say or do behind my back, because in future, some one will do the same thing back to you, and you wont know when..
