I have just graduated from university and I am already missing it so much. The working world is nothing like university life.
Everyone knows that I love orientation camps. I have always been an OG since secondary school. And when I heard that the company was conducting an orientation for my first day of work, oh boy, was I excited!
On my first day of work, I showed up in my oversized class t shirt and shorts and brought my sleeping bag. I was aghast to see everyone in formal wear. I am like, “you guys will be in such a rude surprise when we do water activities.”
Then, this lady showed up and asked for my name. I said, “Ah, you must be our OG.” She said, “no, I’m Linda from HR.”
And then when we were all gathered, I was really disheartened that we just introduced our names and the departments we were going to be working in.
I mean, where were the blow wind blow and 2 truths and 1 lie icebreaker games? Where were the forfeits? This was a very lacklustre work from Linda as an OG.
Linda showed me to my desk. She just gave it to me. It really pissed me off. I am like, “What? No cheer? In my time, we had to cheer for every single thing even for our food. How can you give me anything without using cheer as a form of currency!?” She said something about this is being a corporate company or whatever.
I was really excited for the day to the end. And yet again, I was disappointed. Everyone just packed up their stuff and left at 6pm. We didn’t stay over. Then, how else can we bond if we don’t bring our sleeping bags and sleep along the corridors of our office!?
So, I resigned, I couldn’t take this life anymore. If anyone knows a full time paying job as an OG, please email me
