Hi There,

Yeah, its my stress times at work once again. Have not complained awhile, guess I should start too. Well, when the firm is short of support staff, what should they do? Employ more support staff? That is correct in a normal working environment, unfortunately at my place, the firm utilises the remaining staff and squeezes the hell out of them.

I've been working pretty crazy hours for a deskbound individual! I mean, its not as though I'm in some events/media or even any organisation where I need to work late hours. Despite this, I was leaving office at around 10 plus for awhile.

Funny how employers think. If you don't stay late, you're considered lazy and irresponsible. When you stay late, you are also considered lazy and irresponsible. So how does it work again? My place lacks encouragement and motivation. Not that I yearn nor request for any, but its quite frustrating to know that, when you show your efficency, you are given 10 folds more work to finish. Interesting isn't it? Especially when you know the bosses are seriously "crazy", "handicapped" and "weird" individuals.

Well, the toll was too much for my mum, who got stressed out because of her boss due to her always woking late and coming back home at midnight was warded into the hospital for about 4 odd days, and hear this out, my boss actually said this to me when I told her I wanted to take leave to be with my mum and take care of her, "Just because your mum's in hospital doesn't mean you have to be there? She's there because she's not been excercising and she stressed up because she's worried over you, your sis and your dad". Now, where does this make sense? How would you feel?

These are part and parcels of working life people say. To me, yeah I do agree, but there's always a limit. Arrrgggghh! To those who are working in a compassionate and caring firm, cherish it! To those who are not, well, I think you guys know best! In my case, patience is slowly reaching its limits. So..... Lets see how it goes...

Cheers,
Tunitha
