right after i quit from the big GLC and right before I started on my own, i joined a small growing comapny. I was invited to help the owner to transform and restructure his growing business from a 3-man operation to cater to the needs of his newly won multimillion RM contracts.

it started so small that they never had their accounts audited, even after 5 yrs of operation, never paid EPF nor SOCSO and so many other no-nos.

wehn i joined we started to create organisation chart, identify needs and create depts and start to hire ppl (it have 60+ staff now). but every step of the way u can see office politics were in play, at every turn u see kaki kipas, kaki ampu, and even backstabbers active and aggressively pitcing thier lies and maneuvering around, building camps and killing off other camps.... it was a dirty playing field...

my point is... it doesnt have to be a big company, the game is always being played. question is are u playing them or is thegame playing u?

ya..in job market, people keep knowledge becos they wanted to protect their own bowl. v cant realli blame or acquire people to help us, but i think got to acquire urself to figure out the solution, they deserve not to share, if they share, this will be a bonus!

but i know the best way to learn is to teach and share, and the more you share, the more u gains. but i dunno whether this theory can be use in job market or not. the world is jz so practical and realistic.

the only solution for this = " be the boss"
