Cyberville vs Twinco
I’ve not been writing anything for the past 2 days! When I wanted to blog, like last night, the host was down. Damn.
Today is my second day at work as an Intern. I must say that all my colleagues are fine and very nice people. When people are nice to you, you should be nice to them. Vice versa. I’ve just met my (our - includes Gary and Junze) supervisor. And above that, I’ve met my project supervisor. Glad to say I’m assigned with something to work on!
I’ve been working 3 years at Twinco Far East (JB) and I shall do alittle comparism.
Colleagues
Colleagues in both companies are nice. They’re all rather friendly I’d say!
Overtime
Ok, this is serious matter. Twinco staffs seldom work overtime unless it’s year end stock/inventory count. If there’s overtime, boss will buy you dinner! (Drinks included!)
As for Cyberville, I heard that as long as there are projects, you’re going to have overtime. And sad, I’m not paid for overtime. If I work until 9, I can claim dinner! If until 10pm, free cab home! Ha. I HEARD COLLEAGUES WORKED UNTIL 2AM ON A SUNDAY! And, Wei Liang once worked until 7am the next day. Gosh.
Working hours
I may have covered this above. At Twinco, we start work at 8.30am sharp and knock off at 6pm on weekdays. Weekends, we work from 8.30 but end 2 hours earlier than usual - at 4pm.
At Cyberville, it’s okay you reach the company alittle later after 9. Maybe 9.15 but not later than 9.30. Ofcourse if you worked overtime the night before, it’s okay for you to arrive alittle later. Did I mention 5-day-week?
Work
At Cyberville, I get to do programming daily.
At Twinco, I’m stuck with different kind of work such as admin, store-work, etc!
Verdict
I’m only an intern at Cyberville. Whereas at Twinco Far East, I’m a perm staff. The only difference is the kind of work I do.
Working at different environments is cool!
