Somehow I still can’t believe that tomorrow is my last day in the company. Mixed feelings. For those readers who may not know what my work is, I am a project executive in an office furniture company. It is field work and I travel a lot everyday from this site to another site. Basically my job is to plan and monitor project installations. Since it’s a typical china man company, all things are one leg kicking. Sometimes you just can’t believe the volume of the workload. The pressure is enormous. There’s no system.
Screw-ups happens everyday, so are Tai-Chis and Scolding. The freaking workloads accompany by all these shits indeed made me into a far better man. My director once said: This is an army boot camp; you survive here 3 years, nothing can take you down next time. Even my manager commented: This is no work, this is a war! No wonder sales manager in the company like to call me good soldier. Everyday from 9 to 9, rest for Saturdays and Sunday is an option. Long working hours had challenged me both physically and mentally. I survived that too.
I learned a lot during the process. I get to deal with all types of peoples, tried things i never done before, get access to places I never dreamt of. It was a fantastic journey. I loved and I hated my job. I truly believe that screw-ups made a man a better man. Leaders are not born naturally; they are made of steel and blood. They endured pain and suffer, took risks and pressure, sometimes with a little bit of luck.
My company’s sister company at Singapore has a vacancy for project executive, should I take it? Leave my comfort zone and take up this challenge? I am still considering it…but I think I will try; I would like to see how far I can go. Btw, thanks for everything, my colleagues, you guys had been a good mentor all the way.

your boss likes to BS, if you got your work doubled, ask him get your salary doubled too, i dont care its a war or not. I use to be in that kind of company b4, I regret quitting too late.
Change your working style, use computer, use system, use your brain, dont use your energy only, screw something with screw driver, dont screw with your hand, if you think you can screw with your hand, go sho-lin, become a kung fu star, dont screw with your hand and become a technician. Yes you can do it with your hand, you are great, but there arent any good company ask their staff do like that, you cant get a better job cause of that, unless u are getting the same job, nothing improve, you can do like that when u are young, do u think you can be like that when u are getting old, and tired ? Be real, get a skill ppl need, company that can pay require some1 use their brain, not their hardworking nor the ability to work like a machine, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
