My end game at Packtica

Remember a month ago I was all up emo on my financial crisis and instability on unemployment. Well... let it go 👀..
This week happened to be a fresh start in the mood.
I tender resignation on a Tuesday. Then decided to watch the hype movie on the next day.
Craziest thing was, the movie was really hyped out the public. Some took leave just for the sake of being the first to watch. Pretty die hard fan right there bud.

To be honest, handling the letter and picking up a suitable time to voice your last formal opinion in the workplace were such a pain in the ass.
I experienced the dilemma in choosing when is a good time to yell "I AM FUCKING DONE". What I mean was "I'm leaving Boss".
Because exposing your thoughts in the morning might lead to an awkward afternoon and all.
Telling the truth at the evening, turns out to be the same outcome, will be expecting questions and interview in the next day duhh... its the same..
So I've decided to let it go at a afternoon, just so I could "balance" the morning and night shit.. It made we felt better thou :D

Anyway, things went according to my expectation. Exit interviewed with my direct superior Natalie, who was a conqueror in leadership.
Shaken my boss hand the next morning, with an exit interview again..
and pufff.... I am so relief.. knowing that my next job does not requires any face to face interaction with client no more!

Definitely a big Yay in the heart. But a little turn down from both superiors' comment on working in a call centre even though it is a MNC. It was like receiving annual bonus but with pain in the ass speech from your boss or getting a free coupon with unreasonable terms and condition.
Smiling from the outside but burning in the inside.

Well, not a lot of good memories were made here. Except snapping my lower back and my neck with 2days mc?
Aaaa... blame it on my self for the passionate bodybuilding dude. Kept it hardcore pays.

I would say watching movie alone should be consider the best part during my employment here hahaha..
Avengers : End Game did not exceed my expectation thou. But it was a good watch and satisfied. Only to felt weird to watch together with your colleagues but sitting in different seats. 

As a reminder for everytime I leave a company. Make a habit to check with HR's policy versus Malaysia labor law. HR might not be the expect on the subject. Especially to those who been sitting in the office for more than 10years. Their brains and knowledge were dusted from layer to layer. How could you not pay your employee if they work for you on a weekend/rest day?
Fingers pointing are for the newb and lazy. Most of it.
"Asked Bryant" is the absolute answer from my HR to slap me in the face for asking legitimate employee rights.
I mean..bro.. do you even HR? Bosses are managing directors, they are expect in the field of managing business affairs but not human resources. Yeah, in another perspective.. the ought to know a little in labor law. Unless they are planning to cut cost and act stupid in a away. My apology but not to me. At the end, I'm proud of throwing back the balls by citing http://myhos.mohr.gov.my/eAkta/perburuhan.php

The link...to rule them allllll!

Stage of crisis

I am starting to feel like I am in the stage where people experience mid life crisis. The thing is..I am only at my late 20s. Sometimes when I sat down for hours having deep thoughts on my life goal and realize alot of it required huge amount of cash!

I always believe people in different stages experience a programmed-life-crisis.
Recalling back to when I was age 17 and preparing for college entry. I wasn't sure what type of course to select. Ranging from business, science, communication to engineering. It scared the hell out of me for what I study direct refers to my career path. 

Zoom..4 to 5 years of sweet college honey moon ended. And another crisis hits you hard in the head.
Thinking how am I suppose to apply what my education to work field.
Because of choosing companies, applying for a job, and seeking for a suitable position and hoping for a decent entry salary scheme will somehow turn you to a lunatic.

the scary part is.. when you realized after college days and been working for 3-4years.. the college fancy degree feels like a certificate for job application..
I found out this society fact when decided to change my job from a salesman to another profession. Employer often asked "what have you done in your previous company" or "any achievement?"
It made me felt like courses and subject like communication studies are just an entry level education. 
It doesn't add value to your skills. Maybe exceptional with a little surface of presentation skills.

Crisis drove me to an introvert. I began to talk lesser. Avoid social activities.
Explaining how your career to your friends grew tired overtime.
Sometimes I refer to successful people who doesn't have formal education and wonder how they hell they even make it?
And I know successfulness comes from optimism. How you think.
How you live through the day. Do you see it as dull or do you see it happening everyday. How to cheer yourself when times are bad. How to get up and walk again when you fall unexpectedly.
To maintain high amount of optimism and positive energy are the hardest thing to learn.
Schools, college and education don't teach you how to behave such way. 

I was at my lowest, to the ground. But look at the others.. people like Jack Ma, he came from nothing..
People like Arnold, a ran away.. people like sylvester stallon who was so poor that he needed to do porn and sell his dog for survival.. they made it..
They have a pair of working hands just like me.. 
I am always questioning my capability..what made them different? Physically, none.
I am younger, stronger, better memory.

But mentally...
Big difference..
