Brother raji,
I take that punishment as a pinch of salt, everyone, no matter
who you are, have a boss on top of them, even if you a manager, you
get order by bosses to do this and that, this budget and fire that
person, and when thing never get right, what you do good in the
past is nothing, just a letter of termination thanking you for your
years of contribution.
When I work as casket van driver cum funeral helper, I also get
ask to turn left and right, then have to carry slowly here and
there, any knock on the casket could mean overturning the dead, end
up getting fark by casket boss (complain) and the dead person
relatives.
And worst, in the middle of the funeral procession, you go
toilet??? how to go? at least TD can get excuses from pax or stop
at kioks to go. You drive casket in petrol kiosk??? and worst are
how people look at me??? 100 x worst than TD.
When I drive taxis after I get my TVL, frankly, I do not mind
people ask me to turn left and right, more better than I go wrong
way.
Uncle, infront turn left..Yes sir/madam, later right
carpark straight in,...yes sir/madam, seibei song, no need
to ask and think so much, later collect fares and move out,
surely no mistake one, and the most,we face the pax for
only 20 to 30minutes. Game over liao, in funeral work, you face the
client for at least 4 hrs.
What I am want to say is, be happy with what you are, there are
no punishment nor curse on you, the society do not owe you a
living, nor do you owe anyone a living, and because the society
gives some people like us a bad experience in the workforce that is
why we turn to driving taxis, isn't it a blessing that we still got
a back door to go thru whereas others could be still struggling on
a 8 to 5 discipline job
