Tired. It's TGIF but damn I don't feel the mood. Reached home not too long ago. Was finishing up some things in the office. The office was as quiet as a graveyard. Mine was one of the 3 cars in the big carpark when I left. Look this is how an European company opreates. Time up to go home and all vanished. *poof*
Was bothered by what is happening in my work place... Have been giving training to some newbies. This is my 2nd batch actually. I will be expecting a 3rd batch. Since when did I became my department's trainer!? Ok, I don't deny I have always been thinking of becoming a lecturer. I thought I like to teach, to impart my knowledge to others. I always know I cannot stand teaching kids. Cannot tolerate their disobedience and rowdiness. But I never expect adults to be so hard to handle as well. And maybe I neglect the fact that not everyone is a fast learner. I was looking forward to train the newbies.. I had some materials prepared which was not asked for by my boss. I was recalling how things would be easier if I had those materials when I first started out. I thought my trainees will all turn out to be appreciative of what I had done for them and will all turn out to be diligent young engineers. I was wrong...
They complained that there were too many things to remember and shouldn't there be a manual to show them how troubleshooting should be done. Where do they think they are in? Primary school? I don't even have a fucking guide when I was an apprentice! I have to recollect everything that was taught to me and try to draw some flow diagram for easy reference at the end of the day. Also, I remembered I dared not even go for breakfast and tea-breaks which only the more seniors are "entitled" to. But these newbies don't give a bloody respect. They go for breaks after our morning meeting at 9am and only appear in the office at 10am. They would go for another tea break at 3pm which will last another hour. As a senior and a trainer to them, I only occasionally go for breakfast if my work is still manageable and I never go for tea-breaks.
Besides these, being a shift trainer I have to fall under the critism of the other shift people. If a less diligent trainees cannot perform a task well, they will say the trainer did not teach them. The training is on top of my workload. No one know how I stayed back everyday to complete my work and the datelines that I did not meet. My peformance objective did not state "Shift Training for newbies".
Why am I getting so upset over this? I should just let them die in shift. This was what happened to me last time. But I can't. They have became my responsibility and their every actions reflects on my achievement. I cannot control them like a mother hen and scold them like a primary school discipline mistress right? I don't want to tell on them to my boss. I dont wish to destroy someone's career. I can only swallow and work late everyday and get upset everytime and be treated as a poor trainer.
