dad just submitted his resignation.

i kinda support his move cos his company management is simply "consuming" him. is that the right word? but aniwae, 4 years hes been in the spray painting company and i believe he's one of the key Generals that built up the company. overseeing and working on projects that're worth tens of thousands to multi-million projects today.

i shall not mention the name of the company. but its one of the biggest contractor that works on major projects in singapore namely, the signages in sentona, changi terminal 3, budget terminal, universities and so on... and the recent major project taken is the IR casino.

Despite having projects of this scale, the company management stubbornly refuses to expand the spray painting facilities, which poses a huge challenge to the spray painting team which is headed by my dad. without the expansion, it is little wonder that productivity is not good. As for the stand for the company is to cut cost as much as possible, the management doesnt see a need to expand.

The immediate superior of my father, who is a manager did not voice out to the management for the need to expand. and this is why my dad finds it so difficult to work. dad did mention that the company did try to source for workshop areas but met with much difficulty and negative comments n the idea became a flop.

That is why my dad quit. i believe he faces tremendous pressure from the projects that he could barely handle with his team, and more n more projects are coming up and most them due in 3 mths time.

well u may say its an irresponsible act, but i dun see it that way. cos firstly, it is a failure of the management, then although he may be seen as a small employee, but i believe hes has the right to ask for the expansion to facilitate his work. So his resignation is more of an alarm clock for his company to wake up to see his needs or rather what the company really needs on the ground.

The focus of the company is not there too, as my dad mentions that they actually employ graduates n bla bla in the administration side which is 3 times more man power than the production team. and some of these people hav no clue why they got employed there, and some left after working a few mths.

The irony and the probably the fact of other companies is that these graduates actually get paid much more than my dad. which shows how much the company or companies simply value a diploma or a degree over a ground worker or shld i say a key General in the production team. Which truly generates the earnings for the company. believe it or not, my dad makes just slightly less than 2k in basic pay.

So people, go and study for a bright future.
