New Office

Well, 1st of March 2012, I embarked again on my career journey. As the Head of HR on above company. Well, I am not going to lie. On the first day, I really felt cheated because during the interview, they told me that I will only handle strategic HR matters and they have a couple of staffs handling HR Admin stuffs like data and payroll. When I arrived, the ex HR Manager to me that its a one man show and I have to do everything. Holy fuck. I am a manager, I cant see myself updating the system. Back in my old place, executives did that. I felt devastated. I felt cheated, I felt screwed. The I met several old friends from the neighboring office, who I used to liase with. They told me to keep my cool and take this as a challenge. Well they were right.
I went home and I shared the story with my wife. She, gave me the strength to rise back and gave me the confidence that I lost. She made me realize that, I was finally given a challenge that I can answer, by defeating my own negative thoughts and learn A-Z in Admin HR as well as Strategic HR. Fuck yea. I am not going to fail. No sir. Never Say Die. That was the motto of VICC Band's Brass section, and now is the perfect time to hold it. Like the old Malay saying, " Gengam Bara Api Biar Sampai Jadi Bara " .. or " Hold the flame until it turns into ashes" or something like that.
This morning, I talked to my admin staff. She told me sad stories, about how management is not appreciating the staffs, how short handed she is and other sobbing stories.

Now I understand why God put me here. I got to help these people...
