Working Overtime

It is not too bad after all, only if you are next to me.

The entire floor, just you and me, it was kind of special.

Suddenly, I like overtime work.

Hard Work = 10%?

Increase in salary that is.

Although the company says average is 2% to 3%, but I do believe they purposely lowered the number so we were all made to believe if we all got “above average” increase. This way, less people would complain, and more would be fooled to feel satisfied.

Then again, hey, I am satisfied! I got 10%, which is 300% more than the company average!

I hope I didn’t make a fool out of myself just then…mmmmmmmm.

Unhappy

Well, I can only be unhappy at work, obviously.

In order for me to stay, it will really depend on the salary increase now. I hate to quit, therefore they company better give me a damn good increase.

Otherwise, work has really stressing me out.

Show Support

Well, at least I have shown mine anyway.

BenQ is in a lot of shit recently, and the employees are showing support by leaving your signature on one of the five “Support BenQ” boards.


Support BenQ

I do, personally, like BenQ, so here is mine.

At 9:10pm

I was still in office.

So quiet, so very quiet. I used this time to take two snaps of the empty 12th floor.

Last week I went home at 10:00pm, I hope it will not happen again this week.

Man, Got Arrested

Not me, but our company’s CFO.

Apparently seven people got retained initially, and six was later released on bail.

I wonder who paid for the bail money?

BenQ Making Headlines Again

For alleged insider trading…

Apparently Taiwan Prosecutors came and raided the company headquarters in Taoyuan and Taipei, and took several senior finance executives away for interrogation.

How funny, and this afternoon I was thinking, hey, where did our finance head go?

I like the word, raid. It sound cool, but I wouldn’t want anything to do with ‘raid’ happening to me though.

The bad news is, it seems our company’s turmoil run is not going to end anytime soon, and I believe BenQ shares will close at around NT13.00 tomorrow.

Regardless what other people say, I still trust Bloomberg.com as my only reliable news source.

I did take a picture of the different TV station crews parked outside the company Taipei headquarter though. I took it when I was just off work heading home. It was dark, and via a shitty phone camera, below is the result of the shot, but you might just be able to make out the TVBS logo from the back of the TV Van.

Don’t know why, for some reason the whole situation reminds me of the Enron Scandal.

Destructive Cockroaches

My work computer broke down this morning, and apparently the power supply was busted.

I opened up the case and saw three cockroaches crawling inside.

Interesting.

For Three Years In A Row

I got nothing.

Yep, at the company annual appreciation dinner, I again walked away with nothing. This is the third consecutive year I did not get anything, not even a crappy $1,000 coupon for me to do some shopping spree at Sogo department store.

The dinner was okay, the same food with a lot of noise and a lot of beer. Again, the management people are up on the stage telling everyone now different this year is going to be and how successful we will be in the future, and then the same disappointing closing, walking away with nothing.

I guess I shouldn’t be too depressed. I did go up on stage for BenQ Singapore Projector Team of the Year. I did not actually win the award, I was just on stage to fill up some room.

As a closing, this is the kind of face I make when I was in my own state of mind.

A very tiny door I saw at the hotel. I wonder what it behind it?
