My ex-colleagues called me informing that I was invited for dinner with my ex-company & staffs on this coming New year Eve. Last year, they invited me for dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year. Although I left this company 6 years ago but my former boss still remember me.

Simply wonderful!

I remember when I was still there we used to treat each other as part of the family. When one's celebrate example birthday or housewarming, everybody would turn out. Every year, most of the staffs would embarked on tours all expenses paid by company. How nice!

And now my currently company is very much different.
We don't hang out.
We don't interact.
We keep each other at arm's length.
We talk only about work and nothing else.
We don't organise tour, it's serve no purpose.

For example when everybody in the account department go for lunch, they lock the whole room. Wau lau en, as if they had gold all over the place.

Also my office had cameras all over the place for security reasons but I see it as to “enhance” work rate for all staffs. We need passwords to active our pc and then another set of password to log in to our server. On top of that, I already got 3 sets of login ID with 3 passwords for work purposes through the internet alone.

And guess what?
Even photocopier machines required to key in yr login id and passwords.

How do you like working in this kind of environment?
