I graduated from lasalle and finally got a degree I always wanted. The result isn't what I hope to get but hey... everyone told me, it doesn't matter. What's matter is you have graduated and in our industry, strong portfolio is worth more than the piece of paper. Anyway, I always know that I doesn't have a strong portfolio or skills either. Worst of all, my English sucks too. I always wanted to improve my English but sadly..it didn't happen. I think the master of all fault is my laziness. booo..
Anyway, graduated with a degree and wearing the grown with the square cap is always what I wanted to do. Also to make my parents proud. Because all of my cousins are quite clever, whenever I went to my aunties house. Frames of family graduating photos are hang on the wall. My mum seems envy(i think), so ! I want to make her or their wish come true. To at least have a degree child in the family. ^^
Work Life
Soon after I graduated, after 1 month or so of applying job. I get hired by an in-house consulting company as a graphic designer. I was really relief and happy, finally I got a job and best of all they didn't negotiate with me on my pay. So I got a good amount of money for fresh-grad pay..and with the standard of quality I have. HA.
But seriously, initially the people in the company looks friendly and good, however this company is really bad. Bad in the sense of the bosses. Who would want a horrible bosses.
1st, this company is a christian company..every morning we would go through this ODB. well, even though I'm not a christian. I don't really mind, it doesn't affect me. But why does the boss always wanted us to reflect and the things she said always try to convince us god is good and blahblah. try to badmouth other religion and say we are aimless, but if we believe in god we have aim and blabla. *roll eyes*.
2ndly, some of the colleagues are nice and some are nice spies. do you know we have a 'rule' set by the boss that we couldn't get so close with only one people, we need to mingle around and get well with everyone. Well, I mingle with everyone but why I can't have a close friend or colleague. Who are you to choose and stop me from getting best buddies in workplace. The reason they doing so because they are so afraid of us gossiping behind their back. Do you know they only hire fresh grad and foreigners. Let me tell you why, fresh grad- so they can't compare with their past companies. Foreigners- They won't dare to leave , they have no choice but to stay. IF they weren't guilty of what they are doing why they need to prevent groups.
3rdly, this is the main of everything. The boss sucks. Sucks big time. All she does is yelling and screaming. Calling and rushing. Scolding and scolding. She have zero patient, everything she want it to be done asap. anything she don't like she will call you anytime. ANYTIME. There's a time she want me to do work for her until 2am. wtf. doesn't she realise I have work the next day. Of course she would work hard for the company, because its her own company but hey...I don't, though I get paid but no.. not till that extend that I have to work till 2am. Well, i don't mind working until 2am. But do you know, I have been rushing work for her. and spend 3 to 4 weeks of my weekend working for her. And she doesn't appreciate. Even she mention she is, she's actually acting is out. To make us feel better of course. We have this group chat, where she can ask the people to work, work, work. dammit. no rest seriously, keep us paranoid and stress. Call us during weekend all the time.
Oh, also.. she keep thinking that her children did the best work. everything they do or approve is the best. But actually what they did. is so so.
Okay, and so.. I quit this job. 5 months of this stupid job. of course I myself think that working in the in-house company is killing me. I would really hope to work in an design agency. I couldn't do any corporate design. It's killing me.
OMG. this blogpost doesn't meant to be complain and ranting.
