2 months after the Telekom restructuring

On the 1st of July, Telekom had a big restructuring that involved nearly all of its staff. Those who were directly involved with the restructuring had it worst. We started the planning, placement and everything that is involved with the restructuring as early as May. Who was involved? Namely the people at the Human Resource division. It was hell for most of us there.

Fucked up things that happened, that I would never forget during that period.

• Started work at 8:30am as every other day, but ended up leaving at 10am the next day. That day was pretty fuck up. You watch everyone leaving the office and later the next morning, you watch everyone coming back to work, looking all fresh and active unlike those who had to stay back.
• Staying late at work nearly everyday until 10 pm or 11 pm, while everyone else leaves the office at 5 pm. And non of us gets over time.
• For more than 3,000 employees, some very stupid idiot actually came up with the idea of, “Hey, Lets write everyone’s name on a post-it note and then stick it on the printed structure”. That has to be one of the most stupidest and unproductive activity that I have ever did in my life. Heck, a 10 year old can think up something like that. That ain’t strategizing, it’s just plain stupid.
• Getting comments from everyone that we suck. If they only knew the working conditions that we had and the time limitation that we had, they wouldn't complain.

On the other hand, for every bad thing, there is surely some good things.

• Getting tons and tons of free food for breakfast and at times lunch.
• Since no one wants to disturb you, you can do your own stuff like spamming Shen’s forum.
• Had the resources to gossip about everyone and the latest things that are happening in the office and beyond.
• Able to finish “Neighbors from Hell”.

Basiccally, it was hell and heaven at the same time and I'll never forget my experience at that period of time.
