IS SIZE really matter to us? May be it depend on where we are attention with regard to something in life. In this chapter, I just want to address on my current employment situation. It has been my dream enable to work at MNCs for long time. But I finally realized that it'll need a recognized certificate in hand and of course a job luck. As a migrant worker who came from one of poorest countries in the world, how can I expect to get such lucrative work among well educated society? I understand I have to rely on hard working to fulfill my dream if it's suppose to get one day sooner or later.
It was 3 year ago, I arrived to a developed country and luckily I easily got a job from local SMEs. We usually have to go the same path at the beginning stage as our domestic experience are not recognized by new industrial due to vast different criteria. I comfortably set up myself in new workplace as my company is specialist contractor that need to pay attention on small area of professionalism. I enjoyed a good salary compare to my fellow peers by working in this SMEs. We are usually paid bonus for twice a year and we had a good employer. It didn't change even amid of recession time. What a pretty good experience is it?
However circumstance changed after couple years time, my local firm was acquired by a much bigger global corporate company that is based on UK. My new company even boasted as a biggest foundation company in the world by providing one stop foundation solution.We initially were so happy with the change as we could expect of better facilities and amenities. In fact, our mid-term bonus was effectively cut by new boss despite the business has gone well. We, all employees, are expecting mid term bonus as usual when the July was apporached to end last year but end with frustrating. Then we consoled ourselves that we are going to be given in Christmas time as new employer is Christian whose origin is western country. But again, we goes by with empty hand after Christmas season. It made employees confuse and ask themselves if it is time to change job now. But we, human being, never stop of dreaming and expect big bonus for CNY time as a combination effort. The significant changes after power transfer was we were busier than before with additional weekly, monthly, yearly report to head quarter.
The time goes by and CNY time is in the pipeline. Most of companies has shared their profit with their employee while we are still waiting for a carrot. I don't know when it will come and how much will it be exactly. Hope less or more we all we get it before official CNY holiday because we all deserve it for our year long tireless effort to make company grower. Finally I personally understood that the size doesn't matter as long as we are happy with the current employer.
Wish you a happy and prosperous lunar new year ahead.
