The World Is Not Enough

Aight aight aight... I know I have not blog for quite a few days, if not for a week. I have been busy and also full of wind and piss lately. It seems like life in this new company ain't so good after all. Looks like I've landed in a real 'china man' style company. WHAT?? you don't know what is a 'china man' style company?? Afraid now that you might be a victim of one...??? Alright, Imma do a public service and explain what is a CHINA-MAN STYLE COMPANY.

1. A China-Man company tracks where and when you get to work, and maybe how too!
A china-man company will track you as much as they can and however they can! You will get this hint when the day at your first interview the boss ask, "How do you get to work?" or " How long does it takes for you to get here?". These are clear signs that THAT company is a china-man style company! The usual method they track our entry and exit is with an electronic tag card. Though you may say, this is a way for the company to track your working hours so as to correctly sum up your pay at the end of the month. Yes and No. I would agree this is a good way to provide an accurate figure for the accounts department, but if your company also uses it in every door in the office, then it's, I'm afraid, a china-man style company. The only reason they have it in almost every freaking door is to track where you have been to, and that my friends, are one paranoid company. Its more oblivious when they have a memo about it to every employee.

2. A China-Man company has CCTV cameras almost everywhere in the office.
Yup! This is very much true and is used to support the system above. A company that has a surplus of CCTV cameras inside staff space is just ... well freaking paranoid and insecure. Signs of this is when you see CCTV cameras in every corridor of the office and especially in front of the manager's / CEO office door. I guess personal secretaries are also not trusted here. If you find even your own personal office has a CCTV camera (like mine now), then its a bingo clear sign that you are in a china-man style company. Honestly... WTF?? CCTV in every corner and office rooms?? You rather spend tons of cash on those than on employee benefits?? You don't trust your employees that much? Or do you just believe everyone is conspiring against you?? It gets better when your own Manager /CEO's office is where the CCTV monitors are so that he/she can view it anytime he/she wishes. That my friend... is 100% china-man style company.

3. A China-Man company will try their best to hire the cheapest labor that can do the most work.
This is the most common and the No. 1 sign that a company is china-man style. Apparently these cheap ass china-man companies will try their best to employ the cheapest personnel and expects them to be multi-talented. It's as if they think somehow everyone is multi-talented and the job specs of every individual is just blur and unseen by them. A person who is a Accountant to them can be an Admin, or Secretary, or Courier. A Marketing Executive to them can be HR Executive, Salesman or IT Consultant. A Graphic Designer to them can be a Copywriter, an Audio & Visual Editor, Webmaster, Programmer and best of all (from personal experience) a 3D Modeler. This is very true, and if you're really overworked and underpaid... there is a high chance you are in a china-man company. It's as if a person goes through life studying every profession on the planet! To them there is no job specifications, just the Employer and the Employee.

As you can see from above, a china-man company rules with an iron fist and this is as evil as it can get. They will drain you of every single working sweat before getting rid of you. You will end up having no life. You will wonder why your bosses are walking and driving around in luxury while you who worked for 15 years still uses the the subway to work. Be aware now and get out! Don't be fooled by their lies and treachery. Get out now while you are still alive and young!

This ends today's Public Message.
