Lazy Afternoon with a Hot Coffee

New Job, New Rules

One more day of orientation tomorrow.

Received the general manual from the center yesterday and it's THICK. Flipped through it, and much of the information is so foreign-- they're talking in terms so specialised that the manager just told us to "Relax now! We'll teach all these in training, so don't make yourself crazy by trying to understand everything now."

Oh. Think the job is so specialised and confidential that even our salary scheme is included in the manual. I guess this is how things work in this division-- you can talk all you want about the job and the company within colleagues, but keep it shut when others ask.

Yup. They even had a session for the trainees just to learn about the whole pay and bonus system. ~Whistles~

Here's something I can say (I suppose), since it came from a fellow trainee-- His female cousin has been in the job for 2 years, and she's taking home an average of 3 to 4k per month.

Yah. TAKE HOME. And the bonuses are not included YET.

But! Not everybody can reach that stage. Someone managed to hear from HR that-- Over a hundred candidates were called back to try the initial computer aptitude test. About 20 of us passed to the first panel interview. 11 were called back for the second panel interview, and 10 passed it.

AND! Heard this from someone working there-- Her batch, they had 12 to start training with. All passed part one of the training. Half failed part two. Only 2 managed to pass the on-job-training. Now? She's the only one from her batch that is still with the company.

OOOOOOOOOOOaaaaaaaaaaaaaWWWWWWWWWWaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Well, the REAL challenge starts next Monday!
