went down to the office earlier.
the sole purpose of today's meeting was to clarify everything and to tell them that i do not wish to continue working for them.
regarding the roster, it still shows how disorganised and fickle they are. if they knew that they'll want someone who can work weekends, they should have told me straight up at the interview and not have me go through all this shit, only to have that turned on me now, saying that my colleagues think it's unfair that i don't have to work weekends. anyway if the company decides that i will work weekdays, the company will have the final call and not the sales team.
number 2, the break issue. yes she may have told me to be back asap (now you can say anything because i really don't bother about remembering who said what etc.) , but how am i to know that someone is hungry, someone has another appointment, and you all screwed up the pos system. even if i knew all those, she could have told me to take 30mins specifically. communication is key. if you can't communicate properly with me, you can't expect me to communicate properly with you either.
I haven't even worked with everyone there proper and they give feedback on me? how reliable is that? then they start picking on stupid things like me thinking my shift on thurs was AM shift when it was actually PM shift. all along my impression was that i'm going to work both morning shifts. so i went for pm shift anyway what. the most interesting thing is, i don't talk to my team mates?! i don't know if this was exactly what was said but roughly this. it's the other way around rather. who're the ones who stick in their "we're from the same poly" group? i'm not going try and sound like i'm so comfortable with my teammates when i'm not. and you know how having to introduce yourself, your school and where you stay etc. more than 5 times? sucks.
ermmm, actually i'm lazy to comment any further. i've already told them what i wanted to say, just that i didn't bitch in front of their faces like i planned to because that'll make me out to be one too, which is bad. so, whatever. although they told me that "if you want to continue, you're always welcome to", i told them that i don't like the way they operate and run the company (not so much the review and their opinions because these things happen everywhere) and no i don't want to continue. so that's the end of the job, i will have nothing more to do with prestat. if you happen to pass by the shop and want to have chocolate, just look interested, then ask for a sample, and leave. pls DNB. if one day you become rich and want better chocolate, do not go there either. :P but i did learn a little from this, how to use a POS, how to get customers to buy more, how to pick the biggest piece for someone who buys only one piece of chocolate, sales tactics. with this, i close the chapter. and now i will try to find an admin job! so i can save more money for the HK trip in july (disneyland, dimsum, krispy kremes and shopping! :D)
actually compassvale sec called me this morning at 7AM! regarding relief teaching for today. stupid me was sleeping and didn't bother to answer because i didn't recognise the number. i kinda suspected it was a school because no one else is up so early. haha it was only in the aftnn that i returned the call. of all days they choose to call me today :( i hope sometime soon some other teacher will be on MC.
yay i'm going to sign up for driving on friday! :) (ya i hope this actually gets done) i still don't think i'm prepared for this but i'm going to have to ppick it up one day anyway, might as well now, so i can start driving myself around wheeeeee.
i'm quite tired now (and plagued with DAY ONE of the 28 day cycle-which spoils everything) so i'm still considering going for dance today. luckily i didn't pay for this, so i can still afford to not make full use of the unlimited pass. but it all boils down to me being lazy. i just don't feel like going out of the house and travelling to EP and back. heheheh they should open a branch at sengkang :) i feel like sleeping now.
