this week was not that a good week. had blinding headaches, got into trouble with the same manager i had trouble with a few months ago. ever relasied that its always the same person that you would get into trouble with?Again and again... sigh... all i can do is say sorry and bear with it.. of course i was affected by the situation and the words that she said but i am stronger than before. i dun get that affected anymore. its like Adecco has trained me really well.in Adecco, when clients gave us shit, i used to be so affected and could not let it go. but now,i just let the words wash around me for like 15 minutes and then get back to work. for that. i have to thank Adecoo and my seniors there who helped me grow to the person that i am now.I will never forget one of my senior's words "i say sorry til it does not mean anything liao" as usual,the client is always right and even if it is not your fauly, the word sorry can do wonders instead of being defensive. but of course, if it is something that is too presumptous, then you have to stand up for your rights.Previously, i was miss nice ger, but after Adecco, i realise the the customer also has right. i never thought of sending back stuff to the kitchen if it was lousy til i worked in Adecco... for that i am thankful that Adecco was my first job. i really grew up there, no more the innocent, fresh graduate that says yes to everything.
After saying all that,this week i realised that two of my adecco's seniors would be leaving Adecco. one last thursday and the other in June. After hearing the reasons, i realised that i was really lucky to have left when i did. i had the chance to take a break, to refresh and got the UBS job.If i stayed just to take the bonus, i would have left jaded, disappointed with the working life.i left at the correct time.
I hear that now is the employee's market.Its the employees who are saying the shots in the market now. this makes me wonder about myself.Though i am earning my expected salary and the work load is still ok, its afterall a contract position.If i step in the market now, do you think i have the chance to get a permanent job with all the perks? Frankly speaking, being on a contract makes me jumpy and insecure. should i wait til UBS gets a headcount and then decides to convert me? How long do i have to wait?Sigh..decisions, decisions.....i am just afraid that i might miss the boat. when my contract ends and if UBS has no headcount and lets me go, am i in the employer's mkt again just like last time? I am not young anymore, i m saving for my future.i dun wan to come to that point where i have nothing to fall back on.. meanwhile, i shall just let things be...
