薇薇安的寫作小天地 Vivian's Writing Wonderland~~~

I've always wanted to grow up and start working when I was still a student. Do I regret that? Don't even ask.

Many would say it's important to have a dream job or at least a job you enjoy having. I agreed but not as much as I do now. I thought working is all the same, how bad or good could it be?

I was WRONG.

I thought working at Newegg would be something cool since it's a big company with some fame, maybe working there would help with my future career although I don't think my future career has anything to do with IT industry...

But still, I could meet tons a successful people who might be able to help me in the future.

I was WRONG.

At least for now.

It's a great thing to have most of your friends graduate the same year you did, so easy for you to talk about work, or bashing, to be clear when hanging out. It became obvious that most Chinese or Taiwanese companies, no matter the scale of the company, are cheap and horrible.

New employees do ALL the work and we get paid the least. New employees take all the blames when it's not really our fault. New employees never get our deserved credits. New employees are never respected by other employees. 

In other words, we're all just their slaves.

Plus, we can't complain about it with the team we work with because they would think we SHOULD take it. We SHOULD just do our thing without having doubts. But why?

Haven't they noticed that I'm not a robot?

I have feelings, I do doubt what I do and I do have questions.

Can you just answer me nicely without telling me "Just do it, don't ask that much"?

There are so many times I wanted to quit, so many times, and I'm not alone. Every time I have to put my will together so hard that I don't slap them and slam my badge on the desk and leave with rage. Thanks to God, my friends, my family, and my coworker who also suffers in this crappy place with me that I am still here, sucking it up before I find another better job.

So do dream jobs exist?

I'm not sure, but I hope they do. It can't be true that everyone hates their current job. There has to be someone who loves what they do for a living.

There has to be.

Maybe that's the problem. We just have to BELIEVE there is a dream job for all of us out there, it's only a matter of time.

But then there comes the second question after this, do we really need to suck it up before that time comes?

Or can we leave with our dignity and be treated as we should be somewhere else?
