I will try my best not to scramble this whole entry..
Coz my FC reali told me too much things that i have to digest it slowly..
Oh great, wad she told me is ENOUGH to occupy my mind for the next FEW MTHS
So, let’s start… bear with me if i jump here n there. coz there’s juz too much, but some oso can’t blog out la.
Think my Finance Manager told her that i mentioned i actually was about to quit last mth.
Throughout the long session today, she total mentioned more than 7times ‘I just want to tell you clearly, I don’t want to lose you as a staff’
At first she told me that not that she doesn’t want to talk to me these few weeks, is becoz she know that i will only say ‘OK Lor’ to her even though i really got prob. But she kept stressing to me that i should open up more, even not to her, but maybe to my FM or Asst.FM whereby they know more operational things..
She say that she hope that i can give them an opportunity to help me n assist me before i just go in n hand in letter. She say she is not those who is highly up that we can’t approach her..
She say that all along she is doing Corporate stuff, acquisition etc etc group lvl things.. She doesnt like operational stuffs therefore she can’t know exactly our prob. But our FM go through AP to AR to GL therefore she knows clearer.. Today was her 1yr in this company..
She was in a different industry, she stayed 8yrs in her previous listed co. from a accountant to a FC, learning a lot of things. When she change into this industry (construction firm, is well-known for it’s rubbish industry), because this industry, you have so many sites around, not just an office, things all just so messy in construction firms.
She oso am feeling very terrible, and struggling very hard, becoz it’s really very hard in this co. Not easy. But she did not give up, she does not want to leave the team just like that.
She say they really feel that i am a very good stuff and from e time she recuited me till now she still thinks so. And she say that they know that once i started my ACCA, i got intention to progress further instead of staying just at AP, they got plans to grow me but it oso depends on myself & opportunity in the company.
She said that she is very very open to all these things. If she knows that this company doesnt have the opportunity to let me advance, SHE WILL ASK ME TO LEAVE.
Oh no wad else she said..
She ask me not to waste my period in listed co, becoz there is really a lot of things to learn in there. she say that if 1yr later i’m still only doing AP, ask me to remind her if she forgot, that i should advance..
She tell me not to be surprise or feel ashame if one day i outshine my other colleagues even though i join later than them.
In other words, she really kept repeating that she doesnt want to lose me as a staff, and asked me to open up more, give them opportunity to help me.. a lot of things cannot be corrected or done overnight, ask me to give them a longer horizon to improve things.
She quoted some examples..
All along the commercial buildings that we build, we did not claim any IBA tax allowances..
But actually there are those little things like Lifts, Air-Cons that we can claim de…
So they took a long time struggling and finally get the bosses n other ppl to agree to claim IBA on such items for e new commercial building construction.
All along tax comp, console is done by the top management, but now they r pushing bit by bit to lower level.
Becoz she say that, our co.’s salary is definitely not the best in the working industry, since she can’t change this, what she can do is letting all her staff gaining more skills n knowledge, feeding them what is useful to them, growing them, instead of only seeing the surface.
She also mentioned that, the higher level you go, the more EQ skills you will need and the lesser Technical Skills you need.
Therefore i’m still young, i have to build up this strong foundation, technically n EQ trained, so that my future path will be less tougher.
Well, i found out that, in most area her thinking is actually on e same basis as me..
I super agree with her that we should be open to everything.
She said that when a staff is not correct, she will say it. Not becoz she’s attacking the person, but to let the staff know.
She told me some other things that.. i can’t blog out..
But i totally agree with the way she’s approaching the matter lar.
But in the end, i still did not speak up at all.
Not that i’m not comfortable to say out.. Seriously, i will not hold back to speak anything. Becoz i believe in speaking out openly too.
But, i really don’t know what is my real prob and how should i say it.
And, more n more is human factors that, i clearly know that, anyone also can’t help me.
Yes, they can help to force site ppl to be more systematic when they’re handling with our DOs and force them to follow certain procedures
Yes, they can help to solve some techinical problems, but i don’t think got progress now.
But, human prob they can’t solve de. How can you change someone’s character?
If i’m not wrong, this is the 3rd time she told me to consider and try to believe in them.
the 1st time i was so Naive that i thought wow it’s so nice, what they told me is really so nice.. Wa, advance, learn things, soft skills, etc etc..
After the 2nd time till now, i honestly say, i am losing faith.
Not totally becoz of them, but i’m losing faith on the work that i’m doing. I seriously think and feel that nth much can be helped to solve the problems.
Do you think i can totally get out of AP even though they will give me new things to do?
If i really do, then i have no face to stay in this co. too coz i will feel so damn sorry to my mentor.
I don’t know if you feel so, but from what u read wad she told me, it’s really like wow very good, like really very very very very good..
I know she is super sincere when she’s talking to me abt these.
Not that i don’t trust her. Is that i don’t trust the work.
I can only assure them that i will not leave in this peak yr end till CNY.
And maybe i’ll stay 2more mths to end march to make it full 1 yr.
I don’t want to use RESIGN to threaten people.
I don’t have the intention at all.
But i don’t want to give myself anymore hopes.
I’m already feeling very tired and sick of all the Nuisances and Nonsenses that i get from work every min.
I know that if i stayed, overcome, and take the challenge of this, it’s very very very very useful for my EQ n soft skills in future.
I really don’t know how to tell them my thoughts.
I can’t even say out why or what.
becoz i don’t even know it.
I only know that i just feel like quitting every moment at work.
But i am not such inhuman to quit at these few mths.
I can only tell myself all the time everyday now that i am just staying to help them to tide over this peak period so i cannot mind a lot of things.
Just take anything that comes to me becoz i’ll be leaving soon.
This is the only thought that can keeps me from working n working everyday.
I did tell her i will think about what she told me. Becoz i really need a lot of time to think what she said and digest them n T.H.I.N.K.
She really kept repeating very sincerely that they doesnt wan to see me leave.
I dunno. I really dunno.
Let me think over first.
If you say at the surface level, of coz i won’t feel like quitting, of coz i wish to believe in them, give them longer horizon..
But if it’s at the level of how i felt at every instance in the office, i really cannot bear with it for long term.
Let me think.
