Life of an Unemployed Graduan

Its really miserable....the life of an unemployed graduan.... Actually Im not really unemployed lar~but then my job as a temporary chocolate promoter at Zon duty free, its like unemployed also...BORED dao~~~~~


It was ok at the beginning...at least the first 2 days we need to wipe the Kit Kat London Bus and display those products...but after tat, we jus standing there thinking of our future (day dreaming)...Luckly we r allowed to sit down when there is no customer...and usually there is no customer at all...so we jus sit there... Everyday from 12pm to 10pm except weekend we hav to work from 11am to 10pm...and we get RM60 + OT + commision~ I don think we able to get much on commission since the sales r not good... Honestly we feel sad for the company who hire us...they pay us for nothing...this is wat we called "gaji buta"...they earn nothing, but they hav to pay our salary everyday... My boss said tat, their sales not even enough to pay both of us...Who cares??~ Im the 1 who get paid, not the 1 who pay...


Actually they don need promoter...they jus need security guard...Coz the merchandising manager ask us to stand front and back "no need to serve, jus beware of any1 trying to steal"...But my Real Boss asked us to serve lah~~ At first we r so semangat "Hi, can i help u?? These chocolate r all imported, tis is from germany, an tat is from Bulgaria"...After 2 weeks, "......." standing there quietly, looking for sign tat they need help... As i said, they really don need to spend on promoter...they r wasting their company's resources...If they really wanna hire, 1 promoter is enough....But luckly they need 2 lah~ if not i work alone there, my brain will die in 3 days...Zon already hav few permanent sales person there wat...But then, the company ald consider lucky to waste their money on 2 bachelor holder, rather than some kids...right??hahah~~


The actual problems r not about the 'promoter' title...the problems r about the pattern of the job itself...we r searching for a permanent job with a decent salary, but not a 'little' promoter who listen to wat ppl said, following some stupid 'school rules'...wat we wan is to at least hav our own table and chair, a place to do 'real job', i don mind wearing formal clothes, but at least sumting tat i like, with some colour other than black or white...not earning day-to-day, standing at the same meter square place, or sitting on a shopping basket at the corner waiting for customers, wearing black or white t shirt, with black trousers, black socks and black shoes...Luckly we're not their permanent staffs, so i can dye my hair...if not they r not allowed to dye their hair, and it will be black too...I noe tats their company rules and its understandable tat they wan their staffs to hav discipline...But dont u think its too 'school rules'?? Wat i need is to hav some colour in my life...Frens who really noe me, they will noe tat i like colourful shirts and jeans, not black all over my body...Black really make my mood BLACK!!


Somemore, we r not allowed to bring our bags into our working area, but i saw sum aunty bring those recycle bag, then we jus bring recycle bag...AND yesterday, the stupid security said "tak boleh ambik bag ke dalam"..then we said "ini bukan bag, ini plastik bag"...then she said "kena ambik bag plastik yang transparent"... SHIT!!! who will buy a bag which is transparent??!!! if i bring a transparent bag, other ppl ma will noe wat i bring and can c my mobile phone, purse, and even my pad!!! Tats really an IDIOT idea from an IDIOT person...I understand tat they dowan any stealing problem within their staff members...BUT, the security guard did and do body check and check our bags everyday when we go out from there...and y do we need a TRANSPARENT BAG???!! If i really wanna steal, i will hav other ways rather than putting in my bag tat will get check when i go out right??


Can u imagine, wearing black all over ur body, 12pm punch card, count stock (everytime count wrong), standing beside the Kit Kat or sitting on a basket and wait, serve some customers who r actually window shopping, standing and sitting continuously...wait until 6pm punch card to hav break, eat malay rice which is the only thing u can get at their 'foodcourt' with only 2 malay stores, each selling 4 or 5 type of foods...AND YES!! The food available is also another problem of tat job!! They dont even hav a McD outlet in ZON!!! only a pathetic MarryBrown which will substitute the nasi of ur "MarryBrown Nasi Ayam" into sumting else coz they dun hav nasi... 7pm punch card again...chatting with our new Siam fren, 9.30pm cover those chocolates with cloth and those malays will put the pagar around...9.40pm wait until 10pm to punch card go home....Isnt tat MISERABLE??!!!! I REALLY CANT STAND TIS JOB ANY LONGER!!!!!!


And another sensitive problem is those malays workers there...Not all but some...they steal the chocolate during work time...WAT THE HELL~~No money buy meh??? I hate ppl like tis...and they even told Ah Ment how they actually steal from the box without open the seal...So Angry~~although they r same bored as us, but pls lah~~don steal...if u eat the chocolate tat u steal, u sure will "Lao Sai" 1...Tis is wat i believe...and i really cant work with those sot sot malays...they talk nonsense only...and the Sabahan also~Tats really frustrating for me...everytime walk past, he sure shout "Wang Wang, eh Wang"...Wat wat wat??!!I dun even noe him but he keep calling me~~ I think he really need a knock on his head with the Special edition's Jack Daniel's bottle!! But i jus close my ears and walk straight without looking at him...he really look scary...


1 more thing...Zon there got a lot of China ayam...they always sit with those ugly, geli and vomitting grandpa beside the chocolate area...talking so loudly eventhough they noe they r talking sumting "illegal"...i cant stand tat kind of environment anymore!! besides, there hav lots of malay or bangla, i dono wat r they, jus black skin lah~~ wanna go toilet also scare...when they walk past u, then will stare at u...i always so scare, walk fast fast and don look at them...ytd 2 of us was so disappointed with ourselves and so frustrating with the job...my mood was totally down into the sea...an when i walk out from the toilet, there were 2 malay guys standing at the public telephone there...1 of them keep looking at me and say "Hi..."....Understandable, my fire burn onto my head and i stop, turn to him, without looking any places, i stare into his eyes with all my anger...i think he terkejut and keep quiet after tat...then i walked away...dono y...i really hate those malay call us "eh Moi Moi~" Moi apa Moi!!?? eat shit lah~~ I did say tat to 1 of the sales trainee at the chocolate department there...he always call "Moi, Moi~" Then i terus say "Moi apa Moi...Respect! Panggil Kakak!" coz actually im older than most of them there, who is about 18-20 year old only...


As a result...I REALLY CANT STAND TIS JOB ANY LONGER!!!! but i ald promise my boss to work for him until feb 12... If i noe earlier, i wouldn't be so soft hearted and listen to my mom...At first we said wanna work until Feb8 only, since we started on jan8, exactly 1 month...but my mom said, "don make ppl difficult lar...its getting close to CNY, ur boss sure need ppl at tat time, if 2 of u stop, he will be in trouble to find other ppl" And i fall into tis crap bcos of being soft hearted...i promise him to work until 1 day before new year eve...and then he asked "how about after new year??" as the choc fair will be until feb28...luckly i said "dowan lar~~we come bk from australia then start working...after new year we wanna go play...dowan to continue..." LUCKLY and God Bless!!!! if not after new year we still need to suffer another week more to finish the fair...But now, we still need to suffer and struggle for another 3 weeks...I don understand how the assistant supervisor can work for 3 years and my supervisor ald work for 7 years...1 week we ald cant tahan, 2 weeks we ald wanna resign...Besides, HL and Computer they all going genting tis Saturday, but both of us only can suffer at Zon....Vean asked me to take leave on tis Saturday to go shopping for new year clothing with them at Bugis...But i can only suffer at Zon...


I noe, my life shouldnt be like tis...its jus an incident...i cant be the 1 who listen to command but the 1 who giv command...when did i realise tis?? Its when the new graduated, but old, short, shaggy and mouth full with cigarrete smell's Zon executive, asked 2 of us to stand separately to look at 2 group of customers, when the place tat we stand can actually c both side very clearly...Maybe u will think tats my ego of being a fresh graduated...Maybe~~ I jus think tat the guy don hav the "Zi1 Ge2" to tell me wat to do...I really "Bu4 Shuang3"...I noe I can be a better and stronger person than wat i m now...Jus wait and C~~


Tats only some part of our miserable life at Zon...If u're interested, u can try to work there for a week...tats after new year when we dowan to work anymore...maybe u can take our place...dare to try??
