Mondays @ work — let’s get F.I.T.
March 27, 2006
i need to write it down sometime or the other.. and what other day is best that when the day it actually happened? a Monday.
It is a department custom(?) that we have a weekly report to show last week's status, and what we plan to accomplish this week. Basically, it's a status meeting. Where in the world are u? Did anything horrific happened last week, something special to happen this week - that kind of stuff. And it has been a tradition for some reason, that the weekly sermon comes in as well. a weekly time reserved for important and profounding lessons that can only be learned here. i'm not kidding. i fount it quite profound.
Like, san ka makakita ng 3 - 1 = 1? Or 1+1 = 1? Or a report that is done by lazy people? only here… @ work. It may seem funny, nakakatatawa, but u know what? there's some truth to the matter - like : fairness is subjective - which inspired an earlier post. maybe, this is one of the reason why i really cannot leave. nakakamiss pag exciting ang 1st day of the work week!!!

Okay. Let's get F.I.T. is the call for the all manufacturing sites of our company. F.I.T. stands for Faster inventory Turnover. I was just thinking the other day, when it dawned what F.I.T. means …. Faster IT Turnover.
I came in this company 2001. I worked with people then who are now gone. frankly speaking, it the number of faces I've met, I could probably be rich now if I bet each a thousand pesos to wager who will go out first.
But this year is different. The 1st quarter hasn't ended yet and we lost 3 persons already. 3 are still here but waiting for a few more days before they leave. 2 recently handed their papers in. and i am contemplating my own (but i think, it's still contemplation: okay, an update: i declined again, but they upped the price…). will i be celebrating christmas with new faces again? or would i still be celebrating my chrstimas here?
i dunt know the answer. but u'll know when i know.

Btw, the mission impossible item: forget about it. I did. Whew…!
The highest rate that I've seen was 2003, when we saw 13 people (not including contractual persons) left the department. Last year was not so bad, i think we hit about 12.
