Always look on the bright side of life..

Sometimes, you think you are having the worst job in the world. But you are not.



Always look on the bright side of life...





I received a email from my colleague yesterday. He will be leaving the organisation soon. Wah. Time flies. The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Anyway, I've known him for 4 years. He has taught me many things regardless good things or bad; almost everything under the sun. Thanks PD! Wish u all the best..

Alot of my colleague will be leaving soon.. Some few months more, some 1 year plus.. So sad but true. There is a saying, "There's no party in this world that doesn't end." Haha.. Dun worry guys.. I am ok.. I know this post is very gay but its human nature to feel sad right? HAHA..

Something to ponder..

My organization is going through transformation. In the Kurt Lewin’s model, there are 3 phases; unfreezing the current situation, moving to the desired condition and refreezing the system so that it remains in the desired state. I believed that my organization is at the transition stage. My organization is cutting down on manpower and to merge departments. Meaning to say, having lesser people doing more jobs.

I would say the restraining force like breaking the routines plays a big part. It used to be one department doing a particular job then handover to the other department to carry out the next job. But now, we got to learn what other department is doing and carried out their job. We have more than 1 job to do and this definitely increases the number of hours we worked each day. Multi tasking certainly saves money for the organisation as less people are been employed but does it produce the same quality of work? I supposed the work that produces in the first hour of the day is different from the work that is produce at the 8th hour of the day due to fatigue.

Training is provided for the new job but not many personnel are willing to learn. They have the mindset that whether or not they take up this additional job, they still get the same pay. It is human nature to think that the more work one does, the more incentives he will get. This is not always right. Everyone in the organisation get the same amount of pay. Even if one goes to work just to pass time without doing productive job, he still gets his salary when the pay time comes. So what are the motivating forces? You get the chance to work oversea. That is what I can only think of.

In the 21st century, you got to work smart and not work hard. Why would I say this? From my past experience in the organisation, those who work hard get lesser bonus as compare to those who are bootlicker. Bootlicker ought to work lesser but climb faster. Hardworking people work more and get more work yet remain stagnant in his position.

Is it fair?
