Ain't No Traffic Jam on Fridays

Since I wrote about recession a month ago, the conditions are really getting much worst since then. Now we are in the first quarter of 2009 and the condition has become less than wonderful. Two of my neighboring factory are in deep shit. So going to work on Fridays at much ease now, no more hectic traffic along the way.

One of the contract manufacturer are still in negotiation for manufacturing contract, if they don't receive any contract soon, they are on the verge of shutting down their operation...gila ahhh. Just imagine, at peak of their income, they gave out 5-6 month bonus to their employees. Now, struggling to survive. Contract manufacturers are suffering the most this time round. They depend a lot from the main manufacturer/firm. Alas, even the main manufacturer now collapsed. Intel, Dell, Sony, Qimonda, Seagate...all in the list. Expect more workers to be released in near future. Thousands. And hearing the 2nd stimulus package...I can only....ha ha. Wtf...is this for real?

A little update, we just moved to our own home. My back are aching like hell due to excessive painting and furniture arrangement.Tu pon ada yang tolong. Kalau tak, I am dead....And for the past few weeks, I've been drowned by work at office, seminars, exhibition, presentation etc etc. Plus, to prepare our new home.

With the new fiscal year coming up next month, my boss already lined up the new KPI. I've been assigned to a new task. Well, I am not really surprised because from time to time he have telling me about efficient operation and all and ask me to study this and that. I am always comfortable with innovation and development, so this transition will be a daunting task, moving away from my comfort zone (for this, I always bear in mind that even Gerrard need to play at left side of midfield...bole tak gua compare dengan Gerrard...ha ha).

So after seeing the KPI draft, what I need to do next is, digging deep from Google for courses/seminars/infos. Tanpa Google, sapa lah aku :). "We are moving from productive operation to efficient operation," that's what I heard. The bright side of it, I explore new things. Takdela bosan sangat, and during this trying time...it's good to have assignments. ;)

Ok then, I want to continue bashing the Manure fans. Until next time. Macam Hazrey cakap, tunggu blog berabuk baru nak update. ha ha.
