Trying local

I never thought the my experience with a local enlisted firm ended so soon.

First day of work, I went in feeling "local" shouldnt be hard to adapt since it's a local. No culture confilicts & stable. People should be easy to work with.

Apart from that, there are a few things I realise I still need to get use to. First day of work, I was not given any employee badge! No security enterance! Which mean whoever & go where ever in the building during office hours! They claim they trust their staffs. I felt insecure & took sometime to get use to it. Silly me...

After OJT for a week, I realised that this acct I was assigned to require me to work OT every mth! They have just taken over this acct from another firm 2mths ago. The process flow had not been done up, the inventory is in a mess! Slowly day by day I know more about the acct, I then came to know that the inventory was already mess since day one! Day in & day out orders processing, stocks arriving.... How are we able to solve it? Plus 2mths of no proper filing process documents & records.My mind went blank. It's a huge pile of issues to be done & we can't stop a day to clear it!

Next I was told that apart from cleaning up the targetted products, I will need to move on to other product & clean up their mess & flow too! Am like a police whom needs to solve a case when the crime scene is contaminated everyday!

As days passes by, there isn't a day I get peace. Everyday am asked to solve stocks discrepancy where I don't even know where to start since documation is a mess!

Even my colleagues are always in foul mood & tension is always in the air. Vugarities flying everywhere, its not easy to get use to.

Since last mth, I noticed the volume of orders my mentor did & I was informed that it'll be 200% more during quarter & FY closing. I realised this is not what am coming for. They gave me more than I asked for. It seems that the management does not know what they are getting.

Before Feb mth end comes, I submitted my resignation letter. I taught all I know to an old timer. She told me frankly that this is a sinking ship, everyone just tuck as far as they can before it sinks to the bottom.

I just don't feel comfortable sinking..so I took a hike elsewhere.
