One moment

For one moment, I am deeply saddened with one of managers’ remark in my appeal for extension of unpaid leave back in 2006. They lack of empathy, not supporting the staff need to care for the family while accompanying the spouse. Let say we have no financial crisis during that time; I won’t be coming back here definitely. Until this morning, I did not know the fact the remarks were so harsh that I stopped for a moment to reflect on things that I have contributed to the company and whether my sacrifice for the company is worth for myself and my family. I realized that after 2006 until now, many people left the company especially those in specialized area to gain more outside working as consultant for the company. The company forbid one employee unpaid leave extension on the ground that the operation will be disturbed, the company lost a bunch of experts to outside companies. What you give, you get more of that without realizing it. It is a good thing for a good man like the late MD to support tiny people like me, but others are not. My prayers for his soul, Al-Fatihah. I am working with hypocrites in the office. I may think again about continuing the studies full time overseas and let other think about how to continue (or survive) the markets. For one moment, I felt that I barely exist in the company and moreover, working hard but not compensated fairly.
