[exasperation]

Somehow, I felt exasperated and choked this week at work to a point where I really wanna quit. I dunno why but it is coming to 6 months and I do not feel I have the hang of my job yet. Thus I wondered, am I doing too many things? Frankly speaking this job seems to be the most 'exploitative' because I as one person is doing many things. Here's my jobscope. My position is as a operations executive but...

1) Shipping coordinator
2) Translator (from Jpn to English)
3) Designer
4) Marketing executive/Business Development

Yeah all these for less than 2k. In fact this pay is lesser than what I got when I was @ EBU. I was getting $1700 then for a mere admin position. I once did some calculation before. For all the above positions, I shld be getting like $8700+ a month. Obviously, my boss is saving HUGE amount of money. I dunno why but I got this feeling, he likes to compare our salaries with the salaries he is paying the Mainland Chinese if any of us were to negiotiate salary terms with him. He having a Masters in Statistics will make sure if he pays me $100 more, I need to input 1000 more hrs of work for him

So for less than 2k. I am expected to be on call 24/7. If not why am I 'given' a Blackberry? To me this is farking tracking device. Something for me so that I have no excuse in not being able to access company's mail. I am expected to call my Jpn agent if there's any urgent shit and I am supposed to email shld there be any urgent shit. Erm for a pathetic salary of less than 1.7k a month? I seem to be doing a manager's job but getting none of the respect and also 1/3 of the pay?

I posted this up in a forum and all of them said I am severely underpaid. Well, I know I am..but what do u expect from a local company? Until now, I am on the operations side. It is confirmed a matter of time when I will be put under the 'Profits Sharing' scheme. Well, my colleagues told me. If I am under such schemes, for business trips, I will have to pay my own tickets ( the air tickets charges will be deducted frm commission), every call I made to my clients will be charged to my account, every sample I courier to them will be deducted frm the commission. When I heard that, I was like WTF? U asked me to go overseas and I am expected to foot the air tickets?

There's also some 7% shit thing..7% of PO or profit? I have the feeling it is profit. Anyway,I was told that will be quite high (7% of PO)..but NO! Another colleague said that dun bet on it when u have a big order. My boss being a Statistics expert will shred as much as possible by coming up tonnes of whatever to cut ur share of the profit to the lowest. Anyway, I hate monthly sales target shit and I will definitely move on and fuck off when I am told to go on to "Profit Sharing". I wil tell them u can share my fart.

My boss has big plans, woah he has..but if a boss is so calculative to the bare dollars and cents. How big can the company grow? If a boss holds so much restraint to his sales staff, how well can they perform? If another boss tends to shoot demoralizing comments to her subordinates, how well can they perform? I was once told off, "U are not very busy anyway, so I dun expect this kinda mistake from u" That is really uncalled for. Such tactless comments dun reveal much depth anyway.

Well, see how. If I were to quit, I will quit cos I dun give a fuck.

Only 6 months you already done so much?
Since you are underpaid, do your best to learn as much as you can then jobhop. Your resume can write so much you had done here. Not too bad lah..
Give it another 6 months then bye byezz..
At least with 1 year experience will not reflect too bad on your resume.. =)
Cheers.
