Employee's Market is making a come back...

"Golfer Melayu, gua cuba releasekan payment lu before khamis ni, ok? check tu boss gua dah sign" K, from an IT outsourcing company yang gua pun pernah kerja kat situ.
"Thank you K, about time pun, betul tak?"
" Last day gua pun Khamis ni, pas tu gua masuk an MSC company kat Cyberjaya"

He is the 3rd person I know that's leaving his current organization to another this month. 1st, En F, from a large training organization, joining a Telco , than Mr R, a young smart chap from the largest IT outsourcing Co, joining a Financial Govenment Co. Office baru dia kat tower sebelah aja.

Gua pun was approached by two other company this month. Both companies offered a good package + incentive + share options. I hope this is a good sign for employee's market. Ramai sangat bebudak IT/Management Consultant yang gua kenal tak da kerja sekarang ni.

As for me, I haven't gave the offers any serious thought. I like the team in my current company. All of us are working hard to ensure the success of the business.
Tapi kalau offer nyer terlampau bagus, gua akan cabut gak..he he

Kereta ....

I was driving to the office from a customer's place when all of a sudden I was caught in a jam. Jam giler, wa cakap lu. Memula tu gua sudah geram, tapi bila tengok penyebab jam, gua rasa nak gelak. In the middle of the road, ada satu kereta tengah mogok, a small local-made car, with 2 orang tengah kelam kabut. Yang pakai tie, tengah menggunakan mobile. Muka cam sedih. The other one, pakai t-shirt ajer, muka cam bengkek gila. Yang kelakar tu, kereta tu still pakai temporary plate. Baru tengah "test-drive" le gamaknyer. Apalah nasib malang salesman kereta tu. I bet he would not be able to close the deal lah. KESIAN...

We gotta meet....

Today, while giving a speech to one of my "Financial industry" customer, I've got an SMS from the CEO. "Golfer Melayu, we gotta meet, Mr N, referring to the boss of our largest customer, wants to see us today at 5 pm"
Yikes, What's up, DL? Any issues?
"I think we better talk about it, face-to-face. When are you coming back to the office?"
"gimme half and hour"

"What's the story?DL"
"I believe there are some mis-alignment of expectation between Mr N and his people......bla,bla,bla"
"bla,bla,bla, bla....."

Aisay, what it usually means is that I'm gonna have to work my brains out tonite.... but on the bright side, malam ni ada USGA Open Golf Championship. Bole buat kerja sambil tengok Tiger and the gang main golf. What it also meant is that I will probably take more time to finish the work. Ye lah mana nak "memikir" , mana nak tengok TV.

Morale of the story: The golfers in the tournament would probably be having a better time than me tonite!!!! ARGHHHHH

Your mission Golfer Melayu, should you accept it.....jeng,jeng,jeng... (Mission Impossible music)

To track down: Zalimah bt Abdul Wahab aka Kak Za

My CFO ajak aku serang rumah Kak Za kat Nilai. Gua cakap "Let's go!!! Dia kerja tak habis , gua nak at least 1/2 of the money that I've paid to her. BTW I've paid RM2,800. My CFO lagi teruk, orang gaji tak dak, duit yang dah diberi, RM6,000. I know another friend, an ex-customer, RM 4,000. So, aku, ngan CFO and another buddy of his, that looks like a "Yakuza" , went over to her house in Nilai. Sesampai aja ke rumah Kak Za, tengok gelap aje. Letters were not picked up. "aik, brother, minah ni dah cabut le, cilanat punyer orang" gua suda naik geram. Stop a neighbor of hers. An Indian. Ngan muka aku cam nak pukul orang, gua tanya dia " alooo adik, itu tuan rumah suda pindah ka? " ai yo yo, apa pasal ni datang ramai-ramai? ya, dia suda pindah, suda libih satu bulan"

Happy Father's day to Abah; Al-Fatihah

Teringat pasal "Father's day" terkenang pasal arwah Abah. Firm, stern , humble and always worried about how his "kids" are doing, eventhough most of us are old enough. He's always concern about how other people look at him. Most of the time I just said
" Buat apa peduli pasal orang lain bah, bila kita susah bukan nya orang-orang tu nak tolong".
I still remember that he would pay my "cukai pintu" or "cukai tanah" first, and he would tell me later. He was really concern when I took a seven-months break from college. He would be really worried whenever I decide to quit my job, which happened quit a few times. And he's really proud about me and my achievements. "Ada duit tak? Be prudent in your spending, you would never know when you need the xtra money" "Jangan tinggal solah" " "I"m worried about your sister" referring to my elder sister, in which the husband has 3 wifes and neglect most of his responsibilities as a husband and dad.
All the while, arwah Abah really cares about arwah "Datuk" and "Ochik Ipah". Arwah Datuk Said memang the only "abah" yang abah kenal, sebab his dad meninggal masa dia berusia 2 tahun. "Ochik Ipah", sister to mum yang "kureng daya akal" memang abah la yang selalu jengok kat rumah orang-orang tua. Adik beradik lelaki omak yang lain hapah tak tengok.
Teringat masa nak ambik my "mum's" orang gaji, 2 weeks before abah gi mekah, dia risau pasal omak, bila dia tak da, sapa nak jaga, remind me to look after omak and along. Make sure everything is okay. Dia kata in term of "financial" insyaallah semua dia dah cover. Rupa-rupa nyer memang abah dah terasa.
Masa hantar abah ke terminal haji, muka dia sayu. I asked bila dia balik, what time,etc...nanti senang nak ambik, abah jawab, tak yah tau la. After some persuasion baru abah citer, rupa-rupa dia dah tau dia tak kan balik. Tapi on the bright side memang itulah yang abah hajati, dia pun pernah citer.

"Happy Father's day" Abah. I love you, and hopefully I can measure up to you as a dad and a husband. Insyaallah, selagi I'm alive, I would not forget about my responsibilties. I'll make sure that omak and along, fina and the kids will be ok. Al Fatihah

Mr K, sapa suruh ko ajak aku main with Incentive?

"K, Aku hari ni nak main golf for fun ajer, amacam?"
"Ala golfer melayu, jom la ada incentive sikit, kita main "match-play" 18-holes,RM50, ko kasi aku 1-1 aja instead of the usual 2-2, lagi pun aku still ada hutang kat buku tiga lima"
"OK...la"

At the end of the day, as usual, I won the incentive game. After getting my incentive monay and during our chit-chatting at the club-house, a buddy of mine, congratulate me on my success in reducing my handicap from 14 to 12...

"Golfer Melayu, lu suda main 12 ke? Ni yang aku tak puas hati ni, memang le patut ko kasi aku 2-2, Arghh, aku tak kire, pas ni ko kena kasi 3-3, and ko punya duit yang aku still hutang kira DQ!!!! Aku tak nak BAYAR!!!"

"La Mr K, kan ke aku cakap tadi aku nak main golf for fun ajer, ko yang ajak aku main incentive, pas tu ko tak puas hati plak, apa hal?

He,he Sebenarnya kira menjadi gak tactic aku yang cakap tak nak main incentive ni...at least tak yah sesusah nak mintak reduce stroke kat memember yang hantu incentive. Kalo ko nak main jugak, aku kasi ko maksimum 2-2 ajer le Mr K..Ko nak 3-3 ko gi main ngan orang lain la....
