I think there are many people who do not want to live a medicore life in the company and want to do great things in the company.
But I think not everybody can do great things in a company even if he/she is a capable person.
The following conditions must exist for a person to be able to do great things in the company.
1. The boss must be able to recognise your talent and not be jealous of it and willing to use you.
2. The boss must be generous to match your ability with your salary. Who wants to do great things for the company if you are being paid peanuts?
3. Your boss and collegues must be on good terms with you. Otherwise if they are petty and narrow minded, you will not be able to do great things as they will always be constantly obstructing you.

Updates about my work
The new accounts staff came on monday and on tuesday she just left immediatey without even giving notice or taking her salary.
She probably got scared away by what I told her..
Just everyday having to count the money to bring to the bank to deposit is already causing me a great headache. So much money to count everyday and have to put them into so many different accounts is really very confusing.
Now that she has left, my manager wants me to do both accounts and admin job. My mind is really in a mix right now. On the 1 hand, I am happy to be able to do accounts as I can get the experience and than leave to find a better job after that. On the other hand, I do not really have the desire to learn accounts as there is really alot of work to do in accounts. Unless the boss gives me a pay increment which I really doubt so as the boss is very stingy than will I have the desire to really learn about accounts.
Recently it was reported in the news that singapore economy is good and on average companies are paying 2.8 months bonus this year. Than my friend eugence also told me his company is very generous.
They give bonus every 3 months in march, june, september and december. WOW!
I really feel like resigning to look for a better job. But at the same time I am scared that I maybe able to find a better job but can't cope as jobs tha pay you a high salary normally demands alot from you too

The same question
I don't know why everybody including eugence is asking me the same question.
"Why don't you do accounts job as you study accounts in Polytechnic".
Even today got a new china accounts executive come she also ask me the same question.
I also want to do accounts job leh but I scare what if I can't do it as it seems quite complicated. I am really tempted to resign to look for a accounts job..

A joke
Ended up the saying that to post me back to Accounts side was just a joke and she never intented to post me back to accounts.
Sick joke!
Perhaps this is a sign that I should resign..

Random thoughts
1. I want to do accounts as that is what I studied in polytechnic.
2. In this company, accounts is very hard and there are alot of backlog. If I go to accounts, somemore I will still be getting the same pay as now but I will have alot of work to do.
3. The admin job that I am doing now is very slack and not much things to do. Moreover, I am now very good in doing it already. Switching to accounts job can be risky as accounts is very hard to do and alot of pressure. If I switch to accounts and I can't do my job well, most likely I will get sacked as there will be a new staff to do solar application if I go over to accounts side. I won't be able to come back to do admin anymore as there will be somebody doing my job.
4. My mother job probation has been extended by another 2 months to next year January. If they still find her performance bad she might get sacked and it will be hard for her to find a new job as she do things slow plus she is old and don't have education qualification plus she has problem walking and standing which means she can't find those retail jobs to do.
5, If I switch to accounts job and I can't do well and get sacked and my mother also get sacked, than the family will be having alot of financial problems espically now that my grandmother is still alive but very sick.
If my grandmother is dead already at least the financial burden will not be that great.
6. I went to the bank yesterday to bank in money. It was really a bad experience. I got a shock when the bank teller told me that there was a shortage of $1000+. End up it was because I wrote an extra $1000 on the bank slip.
It is really hard to even bank in money. They only give me the money at 3pm everyday and by 4pm I have to rush to the bank as it closes at 4.30m. And there is so much money to count!!! Everyday there will be more than $10 000 to bank in. Dangerous also to bring so much money with me.
In view of all these, I still think it is better to stay to admin.
I will consider switching to accounts only if my mother has got a stable job, my grandmother is dead and I am considering switching job(so I am willing to take the risk of doing accounts job as I need not be afraid that I get sacked as I already intent to quit)

Changes are happening..
Yesterday was the last day for 1 of the staff who entered the company at the same time as me but resigned already. She say that she get the same salary as me but she is doing alot more work than me. I don't know whether this is true anot. But think of it, everybody's fate is different. You just can't complain just like you can't complain why you are born into a poor family while your friend is born into a millionaire family.
Yesterday was her last day she also never tell me. She told everybody except me. To think that I actually trusted her so much but she never trusted me at all. Perhaps it could be she was jealous of me as I have very little work to do so she does not want to befriend me.
Today the manager say she is thinking of bringing me back to do accounts and get the new china staff to take over my work. She also say I don't smile. She very scared don't know whether I know how to do anot.
But the principal is thinking of getting the new china staff to do accounts. What a stupid idea. Asking a china guy who studied engineering and has poor english to do accounts job instead of asking me who have a diploma in accounting ad finance!
My current work is so easy that I feel that it is a waste of my talent. In fact I feel that with my talent I should be able to take over the position of manager.
Yesterday also was another sad day. The principal saw that I only do 2 applications and asked me what I was doing during the rest of the time. Truth was yesterday from 9am to 3pm I was surfing net and slacking. Only at 3pm than I went to the bank and after that start doing applications again.
I can feel that the principal is starting to suspect me already..
Perhaps this is a sign that I should change job..
Now I am starting to wonder whether is it a right choice to accept this job..
I have just came to this company for 2 months only. In 1 month time 2 staff had resigned and another staff just resigned yesterday too.
Is this a sign that I should resign too..
But the staffs here are nice and my job is easy too..
Don't known what to do too..

Thoughts about working
I am in the office now and have nothing to do so here I am creating a blog to write down my thoughts about my this 1st job that I have.
I got this job by a friend Eugence who worked in this company before. He advised me not to work in this company as the boss is very stingy and they work 5.5 days a week. At that time I also don't want to work in this company. But in the 3 weeks in october I went for 9 job interviews and none accepted me except for this company.
I ord on 20th october 2007 and start work in this company on 22th october 2007. It has been about 2 months already since I start work. This 2 months alot of things happened. 2 staff resign in just 1 month when I came here. 1 resigned as she found a better job but I suspect she got sacked as her performance is poor. The other resigned because she can't take the stress working as accounts executive as there is alot of backlog.
I had actually applied for accounts assistant. But just 1.5 day later on the afternoon of tuesday 23th october which was my 2nd day of work, I was transfered to do admin work because she say I can't do accounts work. The fact was that the accounts executive did not want to teach me and not I can't do the accounts work.
In my 1st week I wanted to resign as I had problem using the scanner. After that my job became easier when I knew how to do it. It is actually very easy and fast to do my job. I had alot of free time which I use it to surf net and talk in msn.
I had actually though of resigning to look for a higher salary job that can learn more things. But my mother recently told me her probation has been extended by another 2 months so I can't resign now.
These are my current thoughts:
1. The company disadvantage is that the pay is only $1500 and it is 5.5 day work week. The company is also stingy and will give very little bonus. 1 year only got 7 days leave.
2. I can resign to find a better job. But even if I find a better job I may not be able to perform well in it as I am quiet. Than if I get sacked and my mother also get sacked than there will be financial problems. My mother seems not to be able to hold on to a job for long.
3. The advantage of working in this company is that the job is easy and I got alot of free time to do my own things. The people here are very nice too. Very little politics.
4. It will be hard to get a job as I am very quiet during job interviews and I give people the impression that I am blur.
After considering all these points, I think it is better to stick on to my job and see how things progress first.
Now I am just hoping that I will get abit of prorated bonus at the end of the year plus a pay increment to $1700. If I can get a pay increment to $1700 I will be happy and continue to stay in the company.
Another staff in the accounts department who came into the company at the same time as me is considering resigning too. She gets the same pay as me but is doing more work than me.
Haha. To think that the other time when I ask her if she will leave the company when she get enough experience or will she try to look for a better job when she got the experience she say won't. She also say that she don't mind that the company only have 7 days leave a year.
Humans can be real fickle minded at times. A little bit of hardship only than want to resign.
