My days are numbered at my workplace. All because of what I considered, my stupid fault!!! I went to this Law firm for interview. Before that I keep dragging myself to go there. After the interview when I left, the interviewer called me back almost immediately, and he gave me the position on the spot. Of course before that, he did ask me a lot of tough questions and he enquire me about my resume as I seems to have change jobs often. But I have my reasons for doing so okay? He then let me sign of what he claim that it was an appointment letter. I signed it blindly. Which a few days later on then I realize I had signed was a contract. I had no choice but to tender my resignation to my Boss. He allow me to go happily, except for Faizal, who seems to take my leave with worries and burdens. Not only for Faizal, almost the whole of my colleagues are shock and surprise that I am leaving soon. Seriously, in my heart I had a very huge struggle cos I do not wish to leave the place. But I know what I had signed cannot be undone.
Most of them are worried about these things when I leave cos for now, only I am the one who is doing all these:
1) Deliveries = I am the one who do most of it, and because of that, I know almost every street name, and where to deliver like the back of my hand. Except for those which is out of my workplace area, it had to be taken by taxi to reach there. Everyone in my workplace is very worried cos none of them do deliveries before. Jing, a new colleague, says she's very blur about such thing and will eventually get lost if she delivers alone.
2) SOP = Standard Operations Procedure. During the operations of the shop, I was trained by my stupid ex-Manager to run the whole shop. By right, this was NOT stated at my employment letter with the company! But then now thinking back, I think it was blessing in disguised as I now at least know how to do standard opening and closing of the shop, on top of that, during peak hours, I am almost be able to multi-task to do duties like stock-up items, clear the tables, serving customers behind the line and wash dishes almost all at one time.
3) Closing + taking stock from restaurant = Okay lah, I don't do closing alone. But taking stock from restauarnt, apart from Faizal, I am the 2nd person to help the shop to run errands to take stock from the main company. I think this part Faizal can take over me.
For now, I can't think of anything else. But that's my main job at my for-now-workplace. Spoke to my Mum just now and actually I was thinking of borrowing $2.2K from her to pay my new job cos I do not wish to work there. After she browse through the contract, she ask me to try it out at my new workplace to see if I liked it. Anyway, she doesn't like me to work in F&B line. Cos she feels that, that kinda job, is for those who are uneducated to work. She also feels that it's a disgrace to work in that line. Especially if your position is just a service crew. Actually, I think, anyone can replace me in my current postion cos, although I do almost everything by myself, I hardly complain. Cos I emphasize on team-work! Ever since my stupid Manager leaves, there is REAL team-work in the workplace now. Before that, it doesn't seems like a team-work to me, it's more like indiviual work! Humph! Somemore my ex-Manager used to be from MacDonald's too(for 14 years somemore!) KNS! Pui! What a disgrace! Why I say that? Because the way he operates the shop and the way he lead us to do things, immediately I could tell it's NOT a team-work! A team-work is that when your colleagues needs help, you help them, and when you need help, they in turn, will help you if they can. Plus, we can co-operate together to tackle any challenges that's ahead of us as a team! The way my ex-Manager leads, is more like indiviual. Like example, when my colleague run out of meat items/salad items. They ask me to get for them, I did tried. But when I wanted to, that stupid Manager stop me and scold my colleague for asking me to take their things!(Which is not very far from me) Stupid right?! You call that team-work?! My colleague was unable to move from her station at that point of time because she was serving customer and I am the "most free" person at that point of time. How long does it take for me to run to kitchen to take her items? Ok lah, the most slow I will take is 20-30 secs! The customer can't wait for 30 secs meh? Then he will ask my colleague to leave her station to take it herself..then the customer who she is serving have to wait..but in a sense to me that is ridiculous! Imagine yourself as customer and a crew serve you half-way and run away to get her things in the kitchen. How would you feel? It's a very good thing that he left! All of us were very happy!
I will end here for now. Very tired. I will see how things goes as time goes by. Wish me best of luck in my new job.
