Weekly sales meetings are getting more and more meaningless. They are all about number of interviews, sales for the week and projections. Getting increasingly irritated by the fact that Boss keeps holding us back; today's ended at 6:50pm. I simply don't understand why he loves to eat into our personal time, knowing that each and every one of us would definitely detest this despicable action? He also mentioned about not having duplicate ads because the Company needs to save money. My goodness, doesn't he understand the simple rule of increasing revenue is equivalent to increasing expenses? How the hell is he going to have revenue increment while keeping the expense level constant? This is very unrealistic of him. Tsk tsk.
Came across an inspirational person this morning - A Business Analyst (managerial level) with Chevron, he has been in the oil industry for many years. However, due to progression ceiling and the desire to gain exposure in the upstream aspect, he does not mind a paycut of $1000. $1000! Initially, when I received his resume, I was very excited because he has what my client is looking for, then again, I was worried about his expectations; I believed his current salary was more than my client's budget. True enough, it was. Spoke to him and realised that his priority was really not on the moolah, but on the learning aspect. I was amazed and at the same time, respectful of this person. He shared with me that his wife was his greatest inspiration; She quit her job as a $5000 per month sales engineer and became a $2000 per month teacher. All for the sake of job satisfaction...
Makes me wonder...what exactly is job satisfaction? Is it looking forward to go to work every morning or getting the monthly paycheck? I don't know, but one thing for sure, mine is the latter. I strongly believe that if it's not for the money, I cannot be bothered to work. I might as well just stay at home and sleep eh?
Tomorrow is only Tuesday...My goodness. These few days have been craving for Baileys - Bought a bottle for $55 (sales, woah woah woah!) from Jason's Market Place. Drank one glass and my craving is satisfied : ) Anyway, my head's spinning; guess it's time to go to bed and dream of all the luxury bags I can lay my hands on : )
