Do you like your job?

[xueyan]

Thanks MMM for your advice


Yes communication is definitely a problem with my boss. I don’t know how to communicate with a person who has a perpetual bao-gong face and no eye contact. I don’t know how to communication with a person who flare up at the slightest question that he feel it is "understood" and thus give you a "You are stupid" face.
As such I don’t wish to confront him on the reason why I do not have a
increment. I believe he will say that I m not good enough. I respect
that opinion.
If you ask me whether my salary is high. No. It is nothing to shout about.
I do not have a degree and I will not ask for more. Moreover my focus
now is on my boy. So I do not look forward to any promotion or advance in my career path. I have worked for a medium size foreign company
before for many years and I know my abilities and attitude.

Of course I would like to look for a job before I go. However working in a small SME is extremely difficult to take leave in short notice. I will bear as long as i could. If really cannot stand it, will have to quit first and find a job later.

Thanks all for advice!!

i think we should change the topic to "Do you like your boss?"


i don’t think most ppl will hate the job more than the boss…

I think no increment at all is quite harsh. We have to cope with inflation you know. Prices are all increasing and if wage does not increase at all, how to cope?

Time to look for another job...

No need to thank us, we're all here to provide a listening ear, and to vent too!

Xueyan, I know how u feel about boss giving "you are stupid" look. I hope oneday this will happen to them and they will how it’s like. My boss sometimes give me that look too. I m waiting for an opportunity to indirectly tell him. For the time being I tolerate because of money.


My boss also do not like people using Facebook, surf net or use iPhone in office. BUT he can do that! Double standard. He also don’t like people to be late but he is always late. What a joke!!!

Hi! How’s everyone coping? Are you still stuck in your job since our last communication?


Well I m still stuck in this job. The job itself is easy but the bosses never change. So I m still facing the same problem! I really envy people who can tolerate their bosses for the sake of money. It’s a struggle for me everyday. Now I m 8 months into the job. Its really true about the saying, when you join a company, its really because of the company but when you leave, you leave because of the boss.

I was up on the chair in an instant. My hands wrapped around his neck, squeezing with every ounce of my strength. He coughed and spoke in a voice that I could barely make out. He said sorry over and over again! His eyes lined with sorrow and regrets. He pleaded me to stop. I let go. His body limp and collasped like a puppet without string. I felt at peace again.


I was jolted back to reality by the sharp ringing tone of my boss’s hp. He answered the phone and laughed as he walks back to his room. I cursed and swear as I continue with my typing.

Ya, I need to go back to work again tomorrow. Sigh!

I know of friends who add n then secretly delete - so as not to offend the boss!! :evil:

Now that’s a great idea!!

Actually I also don’t connect with my colleagues because once you start, you don’t know where your comment will end up with.
