When the staffs keep changing, going in and out, you know there is something wrong with the company.I see a sequence here. At the end of my first month probation, two people resigned for different reasons. Two weeks later, ‘Mini SHP’ the same batch (in the co.) with me resigned for a better one. Two weeks after that (which will come pretty soon), Dn will resigned for something better too. Two weeks or a month later, we will get another surprise.

What else to say and do when the management isn’t good enough? I thought the company will do good as it is hold by young men with overseas education background. Okay, never ever judge book by its cover. Something looks good outside, doesn’t mean it is good inside too.

Well, two things I see now, money and the type of work. Money as in salary, commission, facilities – lunch, transportation, insurance, etc. Type of work as in whether it is challenging or not, works that needs thinking behind it or just simply shoot.

I know it’s kinda hard to find suitable work with good payment here. Especially creative/design industry. So, I’m either have one; good payment with so so kind of job (like what I’m having now, where I don’t need to go thru brainstorm or whatsoever deep research, but just shoot to the design with loud, jreng colour) or low/so so kind of payment but suitable work (that is challenging, need research, thinking, something that is meaningful, not just focus on the final result)

I find none of both (good payment and the quality/suitable work) at the current place. I find my work now is more suitable for people or anyone who can use design software. That’s all you need. The knowledge of how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. Oh, one more, it would be better if you know how to mix n match loud and jreng color. The crowded the better. You are minimalist type? Sorry then. It’s a wrong place for you. Wrong for me too. Lucky I realize now before it’s too late. Waste another time.

Even from my last interview with the neighbourhood company (somewhat same with this one) the supervisor or interviewer asked me to trace a car’s picture in 1 hour time in Adobe Illustrator. After I finish, I was asked how if he wana put words that has been put effect in Photoshop into Adobe Illustrator. -__-” Tell me, where on earth there is this kind of interview? Testing my tracing skill? My photoshop knowledge? Hello.. Go take someone who take Photoshop/AI tution before and not a Diploma or degree holder ok?

Sigh.. I was blind at that time. I just realize that it’s kinda stupid and weird for them to ask me trace a picture and not design sth. I should have share this with my boy earlier. When we talk it out, things will be clearer.

Ah well.. I’m gonna find one soon. Not gonna lock myself in this small box.
