yes madam

R, my boss's goal for me this year is not to battle/fight/question bank's policies. it is not up to me to ask why and how the policies are set even though there are loopholes in it.

YES MADAM, i will do it for the sake of pay increase. i have sold my soul and integrity to conform with the bank's culture. i must learn not to be annoyed by foolish and stupid customers and co-workers. learning to give up your values and makes life so much easier.

when i leave the bank for another job, i will make sure i redeem my soul and integrity.

So bladdy irritating. Sometimes, that's all you can do to keep your sanity. It's hard, I've been doing that for 8 years at my job. It's exhausting. Good luck.

thank you. it is good to know that someone shares the same opinion as me.

enjoy your stay in singapore. hurray, your hubby is with you in the sunny island.

Have been in banking for a damn long time (in my mind anyway) and totally understand what you're going through. I was in branch for about 5 years... *phew* Boy am I glad I'm TOTALLY in sales now...

Hang in there...

Oh... your blogskin has Standard Chartered corporate colours! For a moment there I thought I was in the bank's website! *grin*
