Corporate Circus

Lunch: 2.50 SGD

Dinner: 4.50 SGD

Not a great day today. First thing in the morning, I opened Outlook, and bam—an email from my absolutely useless manager, sent last night. Apparently, he had a discussion with my supervisor about distributing projects. Now, in my team, we have four process engineers, including him. But since he does literally nothing, that leaves only three of us to handle 10 or more projects.

And guess what? In his email, he wrote: "Please review and start the project. We will review next week."

Bro. You’re telling us today to start a project and expecting results by next week? And, fun fact: his name is nowhere on the project list, yet he’ll somehow be the “champion” of every single one. Translation: he contributes zero effort but takes all the credit.

I’ve figured out his game. You ask him something, and he’ll either (a) say something completely unrelated to distract you or (b) throw the question back at you. Basically, a walking, talking empty promise generator.

From today onwards, I will probably be ranting non-stop about how this guy is ruining my life and destroying my mental health. I actually cried this morning when I saw that cursed email—had to sneak into the toilet for a silent breakdown. When I finally calmed down, my eyes were all red and teary. One colleague definitely noticed but wisely chose to say nothing. Meanwhile, I think my supervisor could sense that I was about five seconds away from either bursting into tears again or physically removing my manager from existence.

My supervisor told me that this company has many terrible work cultures, but the worst one? Managers dumping their responsibilities onto others and calling it "delegation."

And the HR department? I have no idea what their job even is. They come to the office, have lunch, and go home. Maybe a little bit of recruiting here and there, but that’s about it. They are the NPCs of the corporate world.

I have nothing but pure disgust for this company. The day I leave, I will not be subtle—I will expose this nonsense. The name starts with M, located in Joo Koon. But honestly, y’all could probably figure that out already.
