haduh ... br nyadar udah lama ga update for about 2 months now.
ini gara-garanya karna saya baru-baru ini dapet promotion di kantor, naik pangkat ceritanya. eittt ... buat yg pada minta traktir, tolong ya, di kantor saya: getting a promotion = more responsibilities with same pay.
bener deh, sudah nyoba nego naik gaji, tp dibilangin secara ada salary range overlap between my old position (senior manufacturing engineer) & the new position (operations program manager), utk sementara tahun ini saya ngga dapet extra raise.
sebenernya sih saya ngga gitu keberatan soal ngga naik gaji. tapi ya, company saya itu ngga pernah ngasih THR, bo'. walopun di Amrik Lebaran ngga dirayain, tp tetep temen-temen saya disini yg lain pada dapet Christmas bonus. cash pula, biasanya. we do get stock options at the end of year, but they have to be vested for 1 year before we can cash in, yadda yadda yadda. and after all the bs rules, it pretty much means that it's worthless - apalagi karna biasanya tahun depannya stock price kita turun!

HUH.
satu halnya lagi, saya jadi tambah sibuk banget karna masih menjalankan pekerjaan 2 posisi. sampe skrg belum ada orang from the internal company yg mau menggantikan pekerjaan saya yg lama. we are going to start recruiting external candidates this week, tapi pasti lama aja deh prosesnya. I don't think I can fully assume my new position until after Thanksgiving

.
kok susah banged ya mencari pengganti saya?
udah ditawar-tawarin ke beberapa orang, and they all declined. alasannya?
"I don't think I'm qualified""Nah .. your job is too hard for me""No, thanks - I've seen how you work and I want to have a life""I think it's too demanding for me. You know I just got married & bought a house"helloooooo .... ???
whatever happened to moving out of your comfort zone? looks like a lot of people are still hesitant to move out of their cushion-like jobs. kok jadi spt pegawai negeri di Indonesia.
apalagi di jamannya skrg yg American jobs pada di-outsource ke low-cost region semua, it amazed me that masih banyak orang yg menolak-nolak tawaran pekerjaan. padahal a senior manufacturing engineer job has a low probability of being off-shored loh. heran yah. and I do get paid quite well.
I wonder if
Poppies is interested in working in the US? hehehe (
hallo Jeng, apa kabar?)
jangan tanya soal wedding prep lah. having second thoughts again. thus the dilemma of a commitment-phobic-gal
