Work Woes and I'm RANTING!

I'm feeling so annoyingly frustrated today. In fact, I've been feeling very demotivated recently when it comes to work. Apart from making triple extra effort to clean up my debtors list, I've got nothing else that interest me. I had to drag myself to work every single day and am always counting down to 5pm.

I began to keep to myself and only engage in small personal chats among a few colleagues who have been through the years with me. People come and go. The newbies are deciding which group to mingle around with. Believe me, the company I work for had dozens of clans like Worker's Party, PAP and the management is best described as the government. I would prefer to be just a normal, simple citizen. Mind you, being a citizen here is usually low-profiled and not in any limelight. But no matter how low I stooped, the different clans would usually keep a suspicious lookout.

Enough abt the clans. New joiners come in with better basic salary, hence whether or not they bring in sales or meet their targets to claim their incentives. A lot of them comes in with maybe good qualification but up in the brains, totally zero knowledge about this industry or totally not from sales background! End up, the old unwanted fellows (like me) don't have any increase in basic pay but the monthly targets and expectations get higher!

Prolly money shouldn't be the main issue here. People starts to compare sales quotas. Those who received hefty accounts talk louder and boast about how much sales they do and how stress and busy they are. Have they ever stopped and pondered how their accounts come along? They like to pinpoint and find unnecessary faults with others (like me) who didn't receive any accounts. My point is why can't they ever mind their own business, do their own job? If they are so busy as they claimed, how can they still find time to poke into other's businesses? Weird.

Anyway, I'm stuck in this industry for 6 years now. Working in a position I like (sales) in an industry I'm getting sick of and in company I'm beginning to detest!


With a fresh start, a better environment and of course, better pay package, I'm sure I can do a lot better than present! I have friends working on deskbound jobs and maybe not of high qualification, bring home the same amount I do. Minus the monthly target stress, they have plenty free time surfing the net, chat, read magazines, etc.

Going on, I strongly believe it's real time I start looking out for opportunity(ies) that can offer me better.
