My office produces Zombies

Sure boh… Yeah I’m telling you the truth here. Working at this market research company for the past 3 years is a really eye opening experience. People come and go just like those *lame singer, actors or actress change their partners. The turnover rate at the Qualitative department for the past 3 years has the highest among the other departments… maybe they just need to recruit new specimens to produce new breed of zombies… hmm…

But surprisingly these few months those “zombies” are getting lesser and lesser every month… Must be something wrong here, I beg to differ on this. Is either they have less work, or the client has stop being “pain in the ass” or should I say “yeah I have no life, thus I will bug your ass till you get sick and tired of my presents in this world”. Maybe they do realise that this company don’t offer much to their so call efforts on the work they do and they just finish the report as how much they can manage to.

Even the project manage I know, who use to stay way long over the working hours, hmm this usually stretch out till early 5am the next day. Yeah they have no life then, I think now she realise that she need to G.E.T a life. So she did, now you won’t see her much around the office premises even after the late hours. Or she happens to stay back for some drinks at the local pubs here.

So now where does this all being? Where is all the so called “zombies” I was talking of earlier? Well they aren’t many left now… erm… there are actually. Is just that is very rare to see them nowadays. I use to tell those new staff while I was briefing them about our company IT policies and such, about the existence of these “zombies”. I guess my advices are deaf to some people ears. There were non believers, so I was praying that they will have a good working experience at this company for the next few weeks and months to come… eventually some of them quit even the next subsequent day.

So what makes this company of mine so interesting then others? I don’t know… but for me it sure is. I pity those researcher who have to stay late over the night just to finish the dateline. I think this is mainly due to that they didn’t plan properly, or some “suck up, good for nothing client” complaining that the data received are not up to their expectation. Well let’s see how they would turn out to be if they would be in the same industry. Bah… I think I’m beginning to turn into one of those “zombies”

Nooo… (Imagine a camera at an angle facing my face fading away into the sky…)


*lame actors or actress: - i.e. yeah it happens… they just do this to attract media attention… well what do you think about this? healthy or just a trend? BAH!!! me here still single here... nothing to fuss or bloat about...
