I started a new job today after 6 months of being unemployed. I took this job (customer service) cos I wanted something mindless and normal working hours so I don’t miss lessons as I’m studying part time at night and graduating soon.
The job turns out to be mind numbing boring to death. I have to travel for an hour one way, sit in a classroom for 10hours each day for lectures and then travel 1 hour home and then go back home to listen to 3 more hours of lecture and repeat the next day. I also need to sit for some tests at the end of the week for work while I have pending assignments for school and I’m graduating soon in March.
The trainer is unprofessional, speaks broken English and makes terrible jokes. He is part of the reason I am asking myself life is too short to be stuck with this?
Seems like I have made a mistake. I should most probably not signed up for this full time job and just wait till I graduated but I overestimated myself.
Is there any way that I can quit this job without serving its 2 weeks notice period? Isn’t it weird for me to show up to learn when I would be out of the company by end of 2 weeks esp if the info given can be considered sensitive.
Here are what netizens think:
- U did say u wanted to do something “mindless” as stated in para 1 right? So u got it. Be careful what u wish for.Btw, my thoughts are that a customer service job isn’t actually as mindless as u think. It often requires a myriad of skill sets. Also, regarding the trainer with “broken english n terrible jokes”, maybe u need to be a bigger person n see beyond that. Don’t discount someone just because he or she isn’t eloquent like how we (society) like it. Sounds like u think u are too good to be taught by him/her. Just focus on what the trainer is trying to impart lah. If u can’t even tahan the trainer, you won’t be able to tahan the many types of personalities you will encounter in society in future.
- when people is having a good life, what did they do, complain and whine. this is what we called jia ba bo sia pang, meaning: eat full already go nothing to shit. some people just do not understand the meaning of gratitude. be grateful with what you have.
- If you want to leave immediately, you would need to compensate to the company the salary in lieu of notice (2 weeks), which is not worth it. Unless the company is willing to waive.You can resign ASAP and serve your notice. If you worked less than 3 months with the company, MC taken is considered as unpaid leave. Ask whether they can release you earlier.
