NOEL, Welcome to the hell.

Got a msg from audrey last night asking me "where did you find your jobs last year one?".

that night i had a nightmare, a real heart stopper... it was about a company i worked in early last year...

1 year ago...

januaray plus...

i hadn't been working since the call centre job with ql n cyy in dec, my dad was v. unhappy with me staying at home, and asked me to get a job. desperate for any job, i heard tt one of my old classmates jeanie had found a job at this chinese new yr hamper wrapping company called NOEL.

decided to check it out with john. should have sensed something was wrong the moment i stepped in. it was a warehouse in eunos. if you've been in a warehouse before you'll know what i mean. the dusty smell. dusty feel. bare concrete. industrial fans.

the work condition was unbelievable. terrible. 12 hours a day climbing up and down carrying stuff around, hounded by a bitch supervisor the size of a hippo. she looked like one of my distant aunties. i havent spoken to that aunty since.

the boss, a cheeko pek balding old man, who bitches at the supervisor who bitches at us. sweating all the time, internal politics like you wouldn't believe........... talk also kenna scold. sit down for 2 sec also kenna scold. drink water too much, well i no need say right...
feeling is like one of the worsts camps u ever went, but 3 times worse. internal politics so rife, you thought you were in in a Taiwanese parliment.

didn't really like my colleagues, but we were very united in hate of the bosses. planned a mass resignation.

ppl joining and leaving every other day. one of my colleagues left a couple of days after i did. guess how. he got so pissed with the boss, he slammed his hand on the table and shouted back at the boss. then he left. cool.

tt's y the motto for new ppl joining the company was Noel, welcome to the hell. chinese new year has never been the same.

feel like running home every lunch break. dun giv pay also nvm. tt's how terrible. after changed to ql F & N job, still pretty tough, but compared to NOEL? heaven. sweet.

last night dreamt that somehow i was forced to work with NOEL again, bcaus it was doing smth for aeroplanes so had to intern for them. did i say dream? i meant nightmare. Noel a real nightmare job. no pun intended.
