*SOB SOB*



I am and in fact all us are extremely excited and energized for our project BBQ dinner that is scheduled on this Friday, 2nd March. We have everything in plan, BBQ with whole roasted lamb, funny presentation, door gifts, AND we are all ready to sing..yes babeees!! We..including my self the ‘SUARA KATAK” will be singing Ikhlas Tapi Jauh on that nite. We had our first practice few days back and we had FUN!!Cant imagine the excitement that we gonna have on the real nite :) A friend of mine once questioned why do we have to sing when we are supposed to be the guest of honored, the ones to be celebrated for our commitment and hard work?? Oh well, I guess we just love to entertain peoples and we actually voluntarily agreed to perform.. (We were kicked out right away before we can actually audition for any singing-IDOL show.. so that explain the eagerness) U guys rock la!!

All are just too excited that we come to work everyday with full efficiency and big smiley as our hard works will soon be celebrated and appreciated by the Management. Not until 10pm yesterday when I received a text message from my bos informing that the company has just announced a loss of XXXX M..and thus instructed me to call the dinner off!!
WTS..He must be kidding, hotel has been booked, menu has been selected and everything is set to go…YIKES! After much deliberation, our dinner is officially off.. sob sob!!!

It makes me wonder sometimes, most companies are too customer-centric that they forget the internal employees are their most valuable internal customers as well. Good quality employees are the priceless assets that can have and yet this area is always neglected.
If you were to read any articles on human performance in a workplace, there are lots of cases where companies lose millions in employee absenteeism, diminished productivity, employee turnover and direct medical, legal and insurance fees related to workplace stress. So please appreciate your employees and a psychologically-healthy workplace is so crucial!!
Hmmm but never mind, whining will get me no where.. So what the hell I am doing here still?????? Time to seriously think of my career progression. Crossing my fingers! If and only if better chances come along;) I’Allah!

Note: But guys, dont worry as me n ANM are planning to organize a casual makan-makan for all of us.Just US...bosses tak payah ok :) and also a karoake session as a replacement ( i knw..i knw..u guys just cant wait to show off ur singing talents rite...hehehhe and i will prepare a bot incase it will pour cats & dogs...hahhahahah)
Tata!

"Yip..yip I'm sad as well, still can't get over it : ( The intention was good, to appreciate those who had worked hard (sometimes till 3 in the morning) since last March. There are, however, other ways to show appreciation towads our colleagues & staff in our current situation. Let's start with saying "Thank you" on every assistance that we get from them : ) ...
