my ambivalent attitude

Monday, October 30, 2006

After realising we were underpaid when a string of calls bombarded us with offers of higher-paid jobs elsewhere last Friday, we decided to look for greener pastures and requested for termination of service. According to the regulations of Kelly Services, we were supposed to give 3 working days prior notice, that meant our last day at work in AH would be on this Wednesday, the whole duration amounting to a week. But I almost wanted to quit on the spot today when a senior clerk who caught wind of us "disliking the nature of the job" spoke sarcastically in my face, "Oh, you all don't like data entry ah? It is the last thing you would want to do right? If you don't want to come, never mind, I can sign the time sheet and we can explain to the HR." I turned my face at her and returned to my work, fuming mad for a few minutes as I did the data entry quietly and efficiently, trying to down my anger. I think she realised that her attitude wasn't too good and took on a milder tone with us later on, and finally, we decided to bear with her and the black pimpled face of another obnoxious temp for 2 more days.

Note: Besides us, the other 3 temps were bitching about her outside the toilet too, probably fuelled by the fact that she terminated their service because they screwed up some data entry assignment.
