I have an Issue..

I was looking forward to my 2k job but looks like its all my dreams now. Was at Aedas with Har, Geo n C.Y to negotiate pay and taking down of particulars. Everything went smoothy until the HR staff drop us the bomb.. 1.2K, no OT play, no CPF.. OMG!! my jaw almost drop at that instance!! cant believe what I just heard! Never in my life have I get such low pay b4... I explained that Har and I had actual real working experiences, and come on la.. we are poly graduates! The pay that they are giving is not reflecting that at all. I wont be complaining if I am too like C.Y, a uni archi student from JC with no what so ever experience and cert to be asking for more. But hey!.. I am fully qualified and capable of doing the exact SAME thing as a full time staff, so 1.2K is damn shitty degrading for my standard. Why do I bother to study in NUS then?! to get a lower pay that what I have b4?!.. you must be crazy..

Anyway.. the HR lady then go on explaining that we are here for the experience, to gain valuable skills(yah right.. all archi firm some how does the same thing..) ... and we are just temp stuff.. not working long.. blah blah.. that they can only max. pay us 1.5K.. thats their final call.. What makes my blood boil is her comment saying that, yes, we may get better pay some where else, but doing filing, paper work, printing and useless stuff.

DUH!!!! when DO we ever do that kind of stuff!! come on!! I was a Draftperson, a 3D renderer, I helped in presentation work, under a Design Director in a respectable firm, AWP!!! I really feel like punching her face for belittleing us!!!!! Slap her!! Pui!!

Thats the end of the unfriendly episode.. Fake a smile and then off home...

Do I have to work at Aedas?... Well, its a established big firm, handling the marina IR, there's project at Dubai and lots more.. so should be quite exciting if Im assigned to do those project.. a nice resume too.. the pay for Perm staff is really attractive, so be good to extablish some connection now.. transportation is convinient from my house to work n back... haiz..... come to think of it Im going to work for like 8 weeks?.. I cant really ask for a higher pay cheaque too...
Hm.. maybe I shouldnt be that money face. Its job offer too good to miss over a few hundred dollars I guess.. think by the end of this blog, I already have a answer in mind. Haa.. see I found a good reason to blog, it helps to straighten my thoughts while I type them all out. :)

If alls well, I will be starting a few days later.. 2nd May, Wed... apparently the pay is easier to count for the HR ppl... hm... and I was thinkin of starting ealier.. oh well... better than no work.. Cannot go back to AWP again. must leave comfort zone!

Gosh! 11pm.. need to start mugging.. haven start yet.. Jia lat.. Friday paper.. also no idea what time is the exam.. to ask later.. argh.. k. im gone.
