Welcome December!

First of all, I would like to wish all my fellow blogger as well as my dear friends a very warm season greetings of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2009. I’d also love take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and never ending visit…cheers to that!

In my previous post of “Holiday Mood”…I’ve revealed my days off and availability...last week, the management had decided to employ 2 new staffs and they will be coming in today, 1st December 2008…my manager was worried who’s going to train them as I would be on leave for couple of times in this month onwards… we discussed and decided to reschedule my shift for the whole month…having said that, I will be working for Oz’s shift to accommodate the training…means that I will be busy for the training, support and development…

Again huh...after what happened to our come-and-gone colleagues, I really hope the incident will not be repeated…I’ve gone through their past working experience (resume) and I can tell, they have a very impressive experience in the customer support line of work...years of experience with big companies like Dell and Intel certainly meant something to their characteristic…well, I can only hope..

With the new recruitment and in conjunction with the plan to expand the Malaysia branch, the management had reviewed our employment agreement and it is very interesting to know that there will be a big changes in next year…I’m sure you guys have that one thing in mind…Yes! More money in my account! That would me help a lot to clear some of my debt...speaking of debt…one thing comes into our mind…credit card! Anybody that owns a credit card would understand…hehe…once that's done, I'm free to fly to anywhere around South East Asia during weekend...kehaa...hahaha...

The management had also decided to downgrade the priority of having Senior Developers until we find better candidates…I have met most of them; I took part in the interview myself (some) and my personal review, I found most of them have an impressive resume…tones of experience but when they were interviewed on the skill that they should have been familiar with (as per resume)…some of them were lost…too bad huh…good on papers could be the case here….

Back to the new support colleagues, I have 3 weeks period to train them up to the point where they are considerably able to provide moderate support to UK's customers…I don’t think they would have problem in providing support to Oz’s customers although there could be some tricky problems that sometimes, myself will need to perform tests in order to rectify and resolve the issue…it’s a software and most of us knew there always a bug somewhere in a software….even the great Windows system itself..hehe..

I think I haven’t wrote much about my workplace for over a month already kan...so this could be one of many about new colleagues..hehe..I really hope my next post about them would be a positive feedback….

We do what we have to do…we hope for things that what we can contribute to get the outcome…
