Industrial Training Flashback

Today, 30th Dec is my last day in Plexus. I don't know why but I have this mixed feeling of happy and sad that comes together. Happy as I get to enjoy and have a short break. Sad because I'm not gonna see m fellow colleagues and that is where studying life returns.

Although it is my last day of work, I'm still busy as a bee. This is because it is the end of the year. Meaning, it is quarter end and that is the time where the accountants are going to close and upkeep their accounts and upkeep it while the top management levels will do some assessment on the employees performance. What worries my supervisor is not about the accounts but the later one. That probably was also my most efficient day throughout the 15 weeks training. I can proudly say I did help him close up many issues. Hehehe =D

OK, that's not what I wanted to say about in this post. I'm just going to recall back all the past happenings that occur throughout the 15 weeks.

I remembering my first day stepping in to the department blur blur. How blur am I? I did not know that I was sitting next to my Section Manager for the first two weeks. The best thing is, when I'm free, I "shake leg" right in his eyes. Now do you agree with me that I'm blur?

My cubicle, sitting next to the manager

Shifted to new cubicle after a month. Purely for trainees

You will feel very proud when there is another trainee under you =D You can delicate the job to him and that is the moment I understood why my supervisor does not move from his cubicle when I'm around.

Next, is the things I learnt from during internship. Here are the list of it:

Good Things:

• Time management
• Networking
• Adapt to environment real fast
• Respect and courtesy to everybody
• Improve my eyes in finding defects

Bad Things:

• Berular
• Learn how to sleep in office undetected
• Scope at pretty girls in Finance department
• Learn how to avoid jobs

Although the negative things are lesser than the positive ones, but the word BERULAR itself is already a serious crime. Hahaha...

Crime# 1: Chiak Chuar

I makan ular, makan ular makan ular, then promoted become pekerja kedai ular pekerja kedai ular, then promoted become ketua ular ketua ular then promote buka kedai ular become boss kedai ular.

How I makan Ular??

A good employee that does not waste his time and does things fast will take the shortest route to his destination and accomplish it. Based on the picture above, that is a standard way for a good employee to move from point A to B.

As for the employee that is very good in curi tulang, this is how he does it.

Just to cover up his crime, he uses this excuse "I'm just gaining more knowledge about Plexus production floor"

The next method of curi tulang is we had a super extremely long tea break. The longest tea break I had was from 3pm to 5pm. Sit down in the cafeteria buy yogurt or Mang Chien Kuih to eat and talk nonsense and laugh our way till 5pm. I think 3/4 of the training period, I am practicing this. Tsk Tsk Tsk...

Crime# 2: Sleep in office unnoticed

OK, honestly, this was taught by the engineers in our department. We are just following their footstep. =P

See the picture below

Guess what is he doing??? This is call professional.

Another example.

This is call unprofessional.

Crime#3: Scope girls

The rumours of Plexus having lots of pretty gals seems to be true. There are indeed a lot of them. Sadly, I cant snap photos of them else I will get slap by them.

Crime#4: Avoiding jobs

This is call Tai Chi. But I rarely do this crime. Only once I think. I'm a hardworking trainee * it sounds very contradicting with the first crime

I think thats all that happened throughout my industrial training life. Regarding the question, will I go back to work there again? Maybe I will, but not as an SQE, maybe as a process or test engineer. But if can, Plexus is my last option. Hahaha...
