Wroking under the crisis

Friday 2 April 2010 , Posted by Shaheen at 23:53


Luckily enough, you have not been laid off, your company is still getting new contracts. After a crucial surgery in cutting personnel the system is supposed to  function again and making profit.You are enthusiastic since the work is kicking off again HOWEVER you will be faced by annoying situation. Since many employees have been laid off, smaller group of people are asked to do the job. Therefore, you have to stay more time at work, less vacations and more travel time. Even you might be asked to do things you've never been done before. 

Spare parts and maintenance are becoming a luxury, you have to deal with troubled equipment and systems and to compensate their failure and/or inadequate performance which put you under stress and embarrassment with clients.  

Your expenses and refunds need to be signed by the general manager! are you serious guys, Does he have time to check my meal allowances and follow my movement day by day to approve travel allowances. I though he would be busier than that.

Trainings courses are  mostly vanished, go read by yourself and try your best because you are expected to perform just like you got trained. Finally, promotions are still available but in form of titles and positions only, salary raises are more than dreams.

The only thing we can say is ..Hamdolla

    I know that we should thank God for our jobs even though the lame ones.. But for me sometimes losing it would be much better than complaining about how miserable "really miserable" it is..

    Welcome Rula.

    The point is stating the recent changes more than complaining, In the golden days, we had our expenses cash in advance, full stock that can support many operations at the same time, now we strive just to complete one operation at a time.

    I love make or break decision, I'll have to take a decision of this type by the end of this year.
