This is the last week I’m working at this company.  Often, I find myself really attached to the things I do. But for this  job, I can’t fucking wait to be out of it.
First I started off loving everything about it. I  was passionate about the industry it’s in and I was excited about my  role in the company. But the truth is far from what I imagined. A  state-run company cannot fuck around just like privately run firms. I  tell you this is not a state authority or anything, it’s a state  enterprise. For a long time I thought governments set up state  enterprises so that they can run, do things, and compete on the private  level, but hell no. Not in Thailand at least.
The ridiculous amount of time is spent on stupid  issues like finding politically correct justification for buying a  printer for my department. Seriously? Of all the time spent on this I  was so close to buying one for the team.
In terms of making any corporate decisions? Every  little thing is a fucking mission impossible. They fear even about the  tiniest little mistake and that’s why things don’t get done! Too much  politics and bureaucracy! Don’t mention about the political interference  from the government. It’s ridiculous.
Oh, did I mention that the head of PR team at my  company was a waitress? (Flight attendant? Same thing!!) No  qualifications or skills for PR whatsoever and that are why our company  is now everyone’s piñata.
Some say one shouldn’t bitch about the previous  companies one worked at. I wholeheartedly agree. But since this company  is so exceptionally rotten, and all their ex-staff are talking shit  about it everyday on the news, this one is an exception. Future  employers of mine, worries not. If you’re not a state enterprise, I know  how to behave. Oh, and I didn’t mention names right?
