hey dude.
whether you believe it anot, I was working part-time in Carrefour
Suntec last year after my o levels, I supposed you have just taken
your o levels also.
I was working near xmas, around this time.
Although my case is not as worse as yours, but just to share with
you normally what full time people would do to a temp worker,
especially in such environment.
I was working in the dry goods department, mainly the biscuits,
cookies and tea-bags. All the full time workers are indians and
most of them are from malaysians. I had the same mindset as you,
working hard so that people can see good image of me. This is when
the full time staff see me as a chance for them to push their
workload to me. There was this indian whom instructed me to clear
the entire shelf of oil, replacing it with fragile pasta sauce. The
next thing I know when I was doing the job was that the guy
actually walked around pretending of doing something, and
occasionally stopping behind me and giving suggestions on how it
should be placed, den continuing his routine of walking around and
pretending of doing something.
During the dinner break none of the full time staff was present at
work, and I had to handle all the customer's enquires of goods that
I don't even know existed! I had to smile and apologise for my
ignorance as a new comer.
I remember holding on to my pee for 6 hours before I could
release.
Thats what I got in return for being hardworking.
Now I think back, if I took my time to do my work, slowly waiting
for time to pass, the full-time staff would be the one getting the
scolding from the management and not me. Ha!
