Job: Data Analyst in a telco MNC.
Love: In-house gym in the company (FREE), bus transport provided, fetching us to and fro work. Comfort zone with nice colleagues and appreciative bosses.
Hate: Unfair workload distribution, office politics.

Those who say they care really don't. Because those who do, don't need words to justify their actions.

my company also got 2 staffs, also as bad. they are father and son and this is how we call them behind him. unfortunately, they are related to the big boss of the company too. too much office politics here.

hate them becos they always make their problem become our problem. they always make ppl accommodate to them so that they can have a easy life n go home on time.
