C'mOn! Be UniTeD! [Tue 10 May 2005. 1:21am]
haiz... im starting to feel tt ppl in settlers are drifting apart. wat realli made me stay on at settlers is becuz of the ppl there. but as time goes by... u start to realise more and more things. u actually witness backstabbing, bad-mouthing and hw irresponsible some ppl are... its so tiresome to work with ppl who dont play their part properly. end up u have to look aft everything. hw can one person do 2 or even 3 person job?! the system is realli upside down and frm wat i see.. no one realli cares hw settlers turn out to be. juz look at the holding area. its so depressing to come early in the morning and the place is in a mess...
and all the roles are not evenly distribute. sometimes u cant help but feel unfairness. some ppl juz dun wan to do the back breaking jobs. u cant realli force them right. i mean the job scope isnt even define clearly! ive been trying so many times to keep the holding area clean, but some ppl juz dun clean up after their own mess. and its realli not me to go confront ppl. i cant do it. mabbe tats y im deem as easy to bully. one man's effort is realli nth, if everyone juz do their small little part, everything wld be nicely in place.
-wash the blender everytime aft u use it.
-wipe away any spillage u create on the table top.
-wash small apparatus aft using, esp the measuring cup. (its always being used and left lying ard the table top with small amt of milk still in it)
-do not leave any unnecessary things on the table, like pens.. clean order sheets... cups.... coasters....
-wipe the trays everytime aft use, esp if its wet or dirty.
- there shld only be 2 cloths on the table, a wet one and a dry one, folded nicely.
- onli the soup spoon and the long special drinks spoon shld be in the metal container, at most one more small knife for cutting lemon for the iced honey.
-empty wateva plates or bowls u bring in, put the utensils and plates and glasses into their respective places, dont juz put them on the holding area table or dump them in the sink with the leftovers still in it.
-WASH YOUR OWN DRINKING GLASSES/CUPS!!!! DONT ADD EXTRA JOB FOR THE PERSON DOING THE DISHES!!!!
in chikuyotei things is realli so different. its so well organise, and instead of finding ways and means to slack, ppl are actually fighting to work. once the food order come out, (we are noticed by the sound of clapping hands) u can see everyone rushing in to serve the food lo.. it will be a miracle if u see tt happens in settlers... ppl dread the no. 99 on the number system, actually ppl dread even the sound of the bell. me included, but in the jap restaurant, i wun have tt feeling. things are realli different. i dunno izzit me or izzit the environment.
the seniors like hesther and iris all those will be veri willing to lend u a helping hand in chikuyotei. in settlers, seldom will ppl render u help. all dirty jobs are push to the new comers, and tts it. and our fav is job pushing, let me give u a veri good example. There was once A, B, C and me were in the holding area. i juz sent finish ice water and was back in the holding area, A said to B 5 cups ice water for table 6, then B said to C 5 cups ice water for T6, then C sae aiya wanwei help me do 5 cups ice water for T6. and A was standing there drinking a can of soft drink, B and C was standing there doing nth. Then i sae, "wah u all push push push then all push to me." Auntie Amy was there, even she laughed at hw ridiculous it was. she laughed and say u all push push push then the youngest one have to do it. Then A B and C was saying ya, youngest one do. i was laughing along, but i wasnt happy at all. i was free at tt time so i realli dun mind doing, but wat anger me was A B and C was in the holding area doing nth! wat is so difficult with reaching up to take dwn 5 cups and pouring water into it?
Last time when i was still working in Chikuyotei, i wld come in ard 3 plus, sometimes u wld still see the ice nt being poured in, stacks of dishes for u to wash, cups too, and the brown container for the dirty dishes nt even being set up. its realli realli tiresome. sometimes working in settlers makes me wan to cry...
the last time b4 i took the few days break and went to malacca, i remembered i throw in most of the cloths into the tub to soak and then i din work for tt week, aft tt i came back, the tub was still there! and in the end i had to wash the cloths and dry them. i do find it ridiculous lo, i mean during the few days i was gone surely they needed to use the cloths rite, and no one bothered to wash and dry them.
hearing frm another, there was once he was serving the food, washing the dishes while the other staffs on shift are outside learning new games or smth.
the onli person i like working with is chinwee, he is veri responsible and always does things without leaving a mess behind. and he does things fast.
i still remember the time i spent hrs cleaning up the office, onli to find it messy aft 1 week. the 1st time i work in the kitchen i wipe the kitchen's drawers, deep fryers, fridge, soup boiler, with soap water and clean water, it onli took 2 days to be all oily and full of stains. i mean this sort of thing its expected, they mess up veri fast, but the thing tt make me so fed up is tt when u bother to keep it clean, no one else bother to maintain it. so wat for rite? nt like im going to get extra pay for keeping the place clean. between the slackers and the hard working ppl, all of us get the same pay!
aiya i realli dunno hw to continue on le... the list is endless.... if only someone actually bothers...
