Re-Definition of Terms (Workforce)
Hai... everything has changed.
The below are a summary of what seems to be... significant changes, in the job market, and the re-definition of terms in the work force.
In a way this "analysis" seems to reflect the current trend that workforces are facing around the globe. Starting from the developed countries, adn moving on to the developing countries, and then to the third world countries.
Redefinition of terms
Past Definition Present Definition
1) Solid ricebowl? => Variable Ricebowl
That's a thing of the past liao. Gone are the days whereby, "if you work hard, then you've be taken care of by the organisation." This just isn't true anymore. Look at what happens when a cruch comes a long. Most company will offload the additional "fatty parts" to make the organisation a little leaner, so as to save up on cost, save face, and save their own jobs. If you so happen to be classified as a fat, then the result should be predictable.
2) Long term service award? => Toilet Paper
Employees were once proud to show off their long term service awards, or whatever souviners they had collected along the way. Hanging them up at strategic places for all to see. Errr.... you know, things seems to be much different now. Those with long terms service awards seems to hid them. Some of the younger and more notable warriors in the workforce seems to refer such long term service award certification as toilet paper. Hmmm... toilet paper, yes toilet paper! To be discarded after used.
Yup! A job recruiter once told me things are kind of different now. If an interviewee were to moved to a new organisation after say.... 7 to 15 years in his/her previous organisation, the hirers would most probably be thinking that the interviewee "cannot make it", and is probably the unwanted "fats" (See 1.) in his/her organisation and asked to leave after so many years of hiding at some corner, in the company.
3) For Boss and Organisation => For Limpeh and Me
Long time ago... actually not that long time lah... most employees in the work force (irregardless of how high their positions are within an organisation) used to work and slog for their company. For the good of the company, for the good of the boss, (if the boss look good, I'll look good.)
Hmmm... this is not true anymore. Skills gained in the workplace are really important now. Cause companies are unstable nowadays. Bosses maybe there today, but tommorrow they may not be. Some employees seems to spent so much of their effort "por-ing" (curry flavour) their bosses, hoping to get some good returns from their effort. But when the harvest is due... their boss are not there anymore.... hahahaha either get cut off or left for greener pastures.
Ok that's it for now. Will continue the second part of Re-Definition of Terms soon. :)
