Bye Peeps..
To all my colleagues;
Hi All!
Today is the last. My last day here.
Starting tomorrow, I will clear out my annual leaves and will cease to be a part of you. By January 2005 I would have taken up my new assignment elsewhere.
Thank you for the farewell lunch. It was unexpected and lovely. How kind all of you at the R&D Centre.
Yesterday was another lunch, arranged by the Human Resources. T'was unexpected too. Nice.
The Consumer Marketing Unit wanted me to join them for a farewell lunch they're arranging today. The girl there was quite miffed when I told them I was booked. Maybe tomorrow dear. Tell me where and I'll be there.
I know I have been bitter all this while. It was obvious wasn't it? I apologize if it causes uneasiness and friction amongst us. I did not mean as such. But, if you were in my shoes, you'd be bitter too.
I was transferred here without any black and white in pretext of developing the local market for a product line when the real intention of The Dir was actually to boot me out. Yes, the possibility of such intention did cross my mind but hey, it was bad for my ego, hence I was in denial and accepted the move Bonafide. Much later I was told by The Doc what actually transpired. There was actually bad intention behind the move. The Snake! From that point on everything went downhill. Getting bitter and bitter by the day. I couldn't simply trust anyone, especially the management. Even The Doc who revealed the malafide. Even your friends might turn out to be a spy for someone spying on someone. Those two timing piece of shit.
Workwise, it was a sticky situation. I did not know wether we are doing this for real or this is a scam to see me fail and give a reason to expel me.
It was agonizing. How could there be any future if such is true? I hope you understand now.
Realizing I am still young I decide not to waste more years here. There is only so much one can take. At this point I really did not bother about work anymore. Only the timing is not right and the right job did not come along. So I too played wayang. Yes, I was pretending to be working and attending to our li'l project. I was more active looking for other opportunities and making opportunities for myself. I was lucky a few sales came here and there so that kind of strengthen my wayang. See, I have taken the company for a ride.
People, this place does not make you grow. This place is meant for those who has got nowhere else to go and are content with what you get now. If you plan to spend your whole working life here until retirement, collect your gold retirement wristwatch and get that golden handshake, this place suits you then. But you may be dissappointed. If you're still young and full of potential, what a waste. I came here a hopeful young budding marketing man. Naive too. What has been shown to me was that in a big strong conservative MNC like this, office politics reign supreme. Even when you think you don't want no part of it. Everybody wants to hold on to their little piece of survival pie. It is a fierce battle. Kill or be killed. Every man for his own ass.
I came to the conclusion that this is not a place to develope your sales and marketing talent. For the past 6 years, Nada. Yelek. Hampeh. Even the bosses also are playing wayang with figures and projections. A lot of Cock and Bull. I know, I've been there. I learnt more about marketing, PR, selling and negotiation techniques from my stint as a part time Insurance Agent and Unit Trust Consultant. Kinda ironic.
This year alone, 4 Marketing Executives left from the Division. The One from the CMU that resigned have worked his ass off for the company for 10 years. He was here this morning, giving his goodbyes. Within the 10 years alone, 9 towkays or bosses came and went. But still it is the same shitty story.
Okay, please don't let my bitterness bug bite you too deep. I am just telling you how I feel. All you make great company. By Company mean the people I associate with and not company in the legal term and definition. Really.
Now this chapter is closed. I am looking forward to a new beginning. I so hope it works out. But then again, The Grass is Always Greener on The Other Side of The Fence. Oh shoot... I wouldn't know what it's like until i jumped over, right?
Anyway, I would like to leave you a few pointers/reminders/pesanan as I leave:
*Muahs*

Anyway, I would like to leave you a few pointers/reminders/pesanan as I leave:
- These walls have ears, so you might want to be careful to what you say to who.
- When people tell you something about anything, don't swallow whole. Give discounts. You all know who talks more cock and tell a lot of bull.
- Some people will go "I only tell you and no one else". You'll find out later that same person will be the one spreading the piece around.
- People do talk about you behind you. Most of the times it is your "best friend"
- People insinuate. They don't say it right at your face, especially the pondans. Cowards. Learn to read between the lines.
- You know the Pareto's Principle? The 20/80? Right, do the 20% that brings 80% results. Little achievements and job well done here and there does not count into your Key Performance Index. So why waste time and energy? If it is not your job, fuck it. You want to do it, do it at your own perils. You will be dissapointed. NT
- Multitasking might be good for the company, but not good for you; refer number 6.
- You know of the one who always escapes doing their bit in anything else and ends up promoted two notches higher? A lesson to learn. Refer #6.
- A Desktop computer is hard to come by here. Whatmore of Laptops or Notebook. So, hold on to the IBM Notebook which was bought under the R&D Capex, which I worked on and procured, fiercely. Jangan sampai Notebook tu jadi macam pelacur. Nak dapat bukan senang.
- The wallpaper of Liv Tyler on the Desktop that we shared is not nude. Think of it as art. I love art, don't you?
- My Home Computer which I brought here to be used, since this place is so stingy with computers, have konked out and lived out its usefulness here. It was bought with my first year-end bonus, which was meagre. Useful parts have been donated away. Please give the rest of it a proper burial.
- Please look after the Photocopy machine which I procured also. (do you find it ridiculous a Marketing Executive doing all this?)
- Look Like Busy is a very handy skill.
- I know some of you are not at heart with what you are doing. Or rather, with the environment you are in.
- You know of the machine that costs a bit more than half a million dollars, which I helped to source, and which is lying unutilized? Yeah, another white elephant.
- If you're stuck with something/mistake, always blame it on someone who has left the company.
- Counter to number 14, leave a shitload of blunders before you leave. They'll blame you for every shit anyway.
- Learn to Blog. Fuck your superiors online. (okay..don't heed this)
- Makeup and kiss before you say goodbye
*Muahs*
Roger and Out.
