Another week is over!

How time flies! In about half a month's time I will be working in my current company for 2 years. When I first started out, I have told myself to work in there for 2 years at least and see how things go from there. Well, it is about time to set another career milestone.

Though it is only a 2 short years, I feel that I have changed quite a bit, in terms of life, outlook, etc. For better or for worse, I shan't comment as different people have different judging criteria. I am quite fortunate to have a nice manager who is always looking out for me (though I have been looking out for him also lol).

Everyday, I am multitasking. Simulataneously looking after different things at the same time. This is how I have acquired and accumulated different skills and experiences. I must say I am quite a all rounder person in the production floor. Good in my own area of work and can handle other ppl workscope without too much of a problem. Of course there are still more to learn. Things are just getting exciting as 2 important projects are materializing and I have learnt alot from there. I think I have picked up and also self learnt (no choice cos very often I am thrown a problem that I have never done before and no other ppl in the company has done before either. Heng I am pretty good in self learning) a lot of technical skills and people skills where I can carry them forward to my next career step.

Our managing director had a meeting just now with us. He told us that his vision is to reduce the manpower from current 79 to 55 while doubling the production output!!! To me it is not important if I am the 55 or the 29. What I can see is that there are even more things for me to learn. At our current load, we cannot further reduce manpower without damaging our production. So in order to achieve that, a lot of adjustment and technological improvement has to be made. It would mean I will be exposed to more technologies and different reduction techniques and processes. Haha, I must say I am a very optimistic person lol.
