A week has passed, and I have landed myself in a new job. Was suppose to be a joyful thing, but sadly, I have to agree with some people that there is no such things as “greener pastures” on the other side of the fence. Instead of the nice air that I suppose I was going to get, I got myself in a pile of crap.
I am not sure if its just me, or its just the environment, but listening to some people telling me that I’ve been too complacent with the old company, that I need some adjustment to do. It is true that this is the thing that we all will face when we move over to some new place/job.
The person that interviews you paints such a perfect picture, but the picture was not painted to beautify the picture, but just to paint over some of the areas that needs “touch up”. Though sometimes it is true not to show the true colors of the organization, but at least the person who interviews shouldn’t have paint a touch up on themselves too.
I am not sure whether to hate the leader or to hate the organization, but at this point of time, I hate both. The organization might be crappy in the way they manage, but if the leader of the department is as crappy as the organization itself, what is there to learn from the leader?
More of less, the environment does not even make the place as an enjoyable place to work with, but rather, people has been leaving the organization, to quote from one person who told me “People has been leaving after working here for just only 2-3 months”. Hearing from a person who has been on the top position really makes me wonder that its true that the organization, to the eyes of the public might be very good, but I guess the judging the cover is not a wise thing to do.
“Look at the organization’s background”, someone says, but I looked, and it is not bad, but I should look further, like interviewing the people within the organization and see if it is worth to work in an organization that it is considered “old school”. Rigid and red tapes are not the way to a new way of how organization should work on, but rather, for a bunch of “YES” people and subordinates are to follow “BLINDLY”
In reality, there is no way that we would know the unknown. Who would even want to allow some outsiders to uncover the things in the organization? So we have to say that we are just pending on our luck to see if we are lucky to be in the best or the worst place ever.
