Received email from our head of department aka "PARTNER". This email is indirectly telling us, "Don't worry. It's the PEAK PERIOD. Though 5 MANAGERS & SUPERVISORS already tendered, but you really have nothing to worry about. Because...."
"As at 12 Jan 2011, we have 171 permanent staffs in our Group as compared to 2009 (149) same time last year. The numbers will increase to 199 (LY:161) if we include interns. This is not to say that we have sufficient staffs at the moment as you aware that COMPANY P&C will be taking alot of our resources. We are trying our best to recruit at the moment but you know better than I do that recruitment will remain one of our most challenging task ahead. In the meantime, do continue to haunt me for staffs. But the partners ask only 1 thing in return, we expect you to work SMART, not HARD!!!"
Hmmmppphhh. Does he actually know the breakdown of the so-called PERMANENT STAFFS? The way I see it, my department have alot of junior staffs now (rather than senior staffs who have mostly tendered) which require more coaching, etc etc. Which only adds up to having to train (increase time in engagement), further headache & stress. And the fact that 5 Managers & Supervisors resignation during peak period, the portfolio will be given to other managers, which in turn, leads to increased burden and taking up more of the team's work & time. Thanks a lot Partner for the not-so-convincing email. I really appreciate it.
