Return of teh Vampire

Due to a sudden twist of unfortunate events, I find myself going back to being the nocturnal animal I used to be back in ACeS. I think I need not emphasize the fact that that lifestyle really had detrimental effects on my health. This is why I was thankful that when I was transferred here in my new office, I had to do the graveyard duty only *once* a week.

Sadly, until we have enough manpower, I have to do 3 night shifts per week. *sigh*

Apart from the hassles associated with such shifting schedule, another significant reason had got me wanting to go and tender my resignation right away (LOLz). I'd have just shrugged all of it off if not for that peculiar timing with which all of these had to take - I already had plans that had been set several weeks/months before. I'd just reset the plans if I could, however the plans involve going to events that occur only *once* a year. *another sigh*

Things such as this are among the reasons why I no longer see a future in this company. Nagtatrabaho ako para mabuhay, di ako nabubuhay para magtrabaho (I work in order to live, not the other way around). Really now, don't the higher ups realize that small things such as this are pushing the employees to seek greener pastures? These days, I don't think they do.

- They do realize that, but they don't care. The mere fact that people are still staying in such a crappy work environment are telling that whatever they're doing still works. And it does, probably.

i dunno if they plainly just don't care, or maybe they really don't realize it. thing is, if the country is suffering from brain drain, this industry I'm in is one of the greatest affected.

anyway, i think the higher ups will realize just how wrong they're managing their workforce after all the seniors have left the company. and there are a just a few of such veterans left. >_>
