Walaoeh!!!!
This is good man !!! This is the first time i read a forum that give so bad comment about a company, Exact.
I'm not working in this company but i know this company, i have few good friends working there, and, i'm working in the same building where Exact is.
All the comments made here are just bad things about the company, management and staff/managers.
Let's face it, this kind of issues exists in all the company, if not all, most of it. There are few hundres employees in the company, for sure there will be some politics, shoe polishers, etc, etc. Which company doesn't have this kind of issues ?
Most of you are right, especially "whoarewe", u have the right to hate the company, the management and the employees working in Exact; but let's face it, these kind of things exists everywhere, not only in a working place, it migt exists in your family that maybe you don't like your sister or your brother; it also exists among your friends where u might hate some of your friends.
Any company we work in, i'm pretty sure that there will be something that we do not like, there will be some policies that we do not like, there will be some processes that we do not like, and there will be some colleagues that we do not like. But then what the heck ? Everytime you have these kind of feeling, you will come to a forum and complaint about it ?
Don't forget, when u hate somebody, somebody might hate you too; and by saying bad things about a company in a public forum, using company resources to do so, it's not a wise way, and indeed you are not a wise person.
And one thing i want to mention, which is, things/processes/policy/collegues that are bad in your point of view, doesn't mean it is bad for everybody. For example, maybe you don't like the movie Pirates of the carribean, doesn't mean everyone doesn't like it too. You see that girl is not pretty, doesn't mean that everyone will think the same way too.
It is not fair to say bad things to a company, it is not fair for the company and not fair to other people that think this is a good company. Some people might think this is a bad company with bad management and managers, but some people think this is a good company with good management and good managers which cares about their staff. How about if there are few people saying a lot of good things about this company in this forum, then what other people will think ?
For people that hate this company, for sure you have your reasons. For those whole like this company, for sure there are reasons why they like it too. But i'm not saying that people that like this company are the one who got the most attention or the one who gets the most benefits, they might be some normal staffs (not management level) who are comfortable working in this company which they think this is a great company.
I knew that this company went through a restructuring process, and normally what people think about restructuring is a bad thing, most people will have the same equation : restructuring = bad.
Think about it, nobody plan for a failure, but only fail to plan. Restructuring or whatever you call it, it's not a bad thing, do you think that the management or the board will simply do a restructuring for fun ? Do you think that the management/board sit in a meeting and said "Hey guys, let's do something fun, let's restructure the company, that will be fun."
Management/board will always want a better environment for the staff, a better process to have more efficiency, increase profit, increase productivity, and restructuring is just one of the way to do it. Restructuring is not an easy task to do, i'm sure the management has put lots of effort to plan and try to make things happen to the better for everyone, don't forget the management/board are employee of the company too, if what they planned fails, they are responsible for it, and they might loose their job if bad things really happen.
Most of the people do not like changes, mostly for staff who works long enough in the company, because there have already used to the way they are doing things, and changes means they have to change their way of working they are so familiar with. And the one who doesn't like changes will eventually hate it.
But, bear in mind that a plan, or a well plan, doesn't mean it be successful at the end. No, this is not the case. A plan is just a road map or a guideline what to do next. Maybe at the middle of the plan, something went wrong and bad things happen (well, plan do fails), at this point of time, people who are affected by this will be the one who have lots of complaints (such as whoarewe). But let's face it, who can tell me whatever plan they do, sure will succeed !!!
Changes made (in this case, restructuring) to the company is not a 1 or 2 day task, it will take time, sometimes it might take years to see the effect; there will be some modifications to the plan wherever it fails, obstacles do happen, things that are planned might fail sometimes, this is normal; this even happen in our normal life. We are all adults, not fair to say that when plan fails, that means the management is bad.
I've also read somewhere here that saying there are shoe polishers, you are right, these kind of people do exists, not only in Exact, it exists everywhere. Some people want to climb up the ladder faster than anyone else, well, this is the easier way to do it. If the person who have his/her shoes polished and they like it, then what can you say?
Whichever company we work in, i'm pretty sure that there are things that we do not like, and don't forget, there are things that we like too. And i know that in Exact, there is a game room with foosball and xbox. Wow !!! How nice !!! I hope there is one in my company too. This is very good, this is the first time i've heard that a company set up a game room for their staffs, most of the company will want their staffs to work non-stop (if can), i've never heard a company would set up a game room for their staff to play and to have fun, this is surely a plus plus point. And the company is giving RM20 for their staff to do whatever event they want to do, this is also a great benefits; and recently i was told that there are FREE yoga class, FREE badminton, FREE futsal too. WOW !!!!!! Which company will really spend so much money for their staffs ? Well, at least not my company.
The bottom line is, bad things do happen in our life, not only in our working place. Do something and try to face it like a man, talk to somebody who has the power to make decision, if no action taken, talk to people with higher position, i've told by my friends that the new boss (andy if i'm not mistaken), is quite a nice guy who is open to any comment, and he take actions very fast. Hey, talking about this, i remember i've read in this forum saying that people are force to sing. But my friends told me that, nobody is forced to do so. You will not be fired if you don't sing. And recently there is no more singing, but a new thing came up, which is "FU-YOH". I think this is great, well, some people might think, am I working in MLM company ? Hahaha. Actually this is a way of raising our spirit, more motivation, not only MLM company do this, lots of company out there do this kind of things too.
If you don't like it, well, you no need to follow, and i think this will not affect your work, right ? If it is not affecting your work, then why complaint ? Maybe at some point in time during your work, when you accomplish something that you've worked on for some time, and you did it, you might say something to yourself such as "YES, YES, I DID IT". It's just that you say it to yourself, but not really shout it out, right ?
Wow, i've written so much, hahaha.. and i'm not even part of this company. But what i'm trying to say here is just my opinion.
Exact software, is this a good company?
