Didn't post any shitz in May because I was too busy at work. My buddy came into the bank and I had to show him the ropes around, fight with external people and trip internally by our own "civil war". Somehow I managed to survive.
The friend is into his 2nd month and I have been quite harsh on him because it's my reputation on the line that I brought him in, he got a promotion in corporate title, increase in base pay and will be getting some nice bonus next year too.
How harsh had i been? To a point where our manager had to private message me to check if that is the "normalcy" tone or language my friend is used to me talking to. Opps?
My boss explained his views and I did so with mine, we agree to disagree and then moved on.
It's a very beautiful affair to have such an understanding boss, he checks on each and every one of us to ensure we are doing OK every day. He thank us specifically for our efforts on each and every chore he entrusted us with, respect our differences and explains to us his views, expectations and potential challenges that we may face.
Due to the nature of our role, as well as the culture of a Japanese Bank, every action, word and tone needs to be well thought out before communicating to anyone, internally or externally. I've been with the bank for 8 months and I'm so affected to the point where I begin to question every question before I answer them, I get so frustrated by people who do not answer a question and instead answer some thing else.
The people, the work, together with the culture made me realized I'm so much more, and I grew infinitely each and every day. I am thankful that I left the comfort zone that I was in and took that leap of faith that I so need to.
June came, it's time of the year !!!!!! WOO HOOOO ! I CAN'T GET ANY LESSER BONUS THAT I COULD at my previous place. A measly 2%. I've been in the bank for exactly 6 mths so I am entitled to 1/2 year's of remuneration. It's not the most but I get to know some benchmark of my full year's $$$ next year.
Increment of: $150.00 approx 2% after pro-rating
Bonus of S$9,000.00 approx 1.25 months after pro-rating
Average increment for non-promotion year varies from 3 - 5% and bonus varies from 2.3 - 2.8months for average performers
WHICH MEANS I AM slightly below par.
I'm not sad nor angry because I dug my own grave when I stepped on the toes of the CFO's right hand man and stood on the CFO's arch-nemesis side during some discussion. But I did so by assessing the situation without any bias-ness and provide the most well informed views and decisions. So they can shaft the additional 3/4 to 1.5 months up their ass, I ain't that cheap!!
Tax will be so damn painful considering I'll be well above the 100k / annum mark, bracing for impact. Let's see if I can drop by Markham this year, soft booked but it may be during the #blackout #period stipulated by the CFO....
