Here’s another blog
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007I don’t write blogs often, that’s because I believe there’s no one out there that read blogs, if you are reading this, that means I’m wrong. Hehehe.
Anyway, just wanna update all my friends out there, I’ll go back to Sabah at the end of this year. Don’t ask me what kinda job I can find in Sabah, cause I don’t know and I don’t care, just let it be.
Em, what do I want to achieve in life? I’ve always wanted to have a happy family life, but 1st I need a great wife, and I’m on my way. But what keeps a family happy? Off course, love among every family members is the 1st and foremost things. Then comes money.
If you know me long enough, I’m the kinda easy come easy go person. I’ve been looking into my life for the past 1 year. I want to do something about it. When I tell people that I’m working in Motorola, they would say that it’s a big company and has a bright future ahead, well, I don’t quite agree on that.
You see, by being an employee, you earn an income, stable monthly income. Stable but not secure. Easy but not sufficient.
Because the world is moving to globalization, and cost reduction. But how can you fight China, India and Vietnam in term of cheap labour cost? Sooner or later, those MNC company will leave Malaysia and go to those countries. Even if they don’t move out of Malaysia, they will want to hire less ppl to do more job. Again, it’s driven by cost reduction. Either one scenario, you will never know when they say ‘bye’ to you.
Even if you will not get the ‘red card’ from your company. Let’s say you are working in a MNC company with a ratio of 50 enginners to 1 manager. Besides working hard, you have to wash your boss’ shoe even harder. That’s why ppl said work smart, don’t work hard. A real smart worker only works for the boss, he only please the person that determine his increment. Ok, let’s set that aside now, and assume non of the above will ever happen. In an average working environment, you will have a 10% increment every year, and a fresh grad’s salary is around RM2.5k, let’s say you are among the best, and get RM3k. It takes you 6 years get RM5.3k from RM3k.
What else you can do in 6 years to earn RM5k? There’re alot of things to do, I believe you and me have a lot of idea in mind, but we dare not leave our work behind and go for it, that’s what we always hear, and it’s very true. Somemore we will have to start from scratch if we leave our job. Wait a minute, don’t we start from scratch when we start working? Just because the world teach us that working in a steady big company is the only way out doesn’t mean it’s always true.
When we were young, our parents always tell us to study hard, get a good result, then work in a big company, and become a manager. What if when we were young, our parents tell us to learn whatever we can, find out what we are interested at and do whatever we want as long as it’s something good. We might become somebody, instead of becoming a slave to those American MNC company.
