1st day of work

Left for work around 7.15am today, arrived by 7.25am. We gathered at 8am at the lobby. Only after 11 of us (new hires) arrived, the HR lady escorted us to a room to brief us on setting up our account.
Got my photo taken for the badge (the lady was nice to let us view the photo and approve before scanning it to the badge).

My manager came to 'collect' me after that. I was shocked when we walked into the Materials Department. I envisioned about perhaps 20 or so people, but when the door opened...there were almost 100 person in the department, consisting of purchasers, procurement, and engineers, all related to ME. Anyway, boss took me to my desk, introduced me to my colleagues (which consist of all girls, except one guy). After that, I was given a pile of notes to read. And the reading began..and lasted until 5pm.

Let me talk about lunch. The people here go for lunch at 11.30am, because food finishes by 12pm. Imagine about 300 or more people in the cafeteria. The company boasts of an award winning cafeteria, in fact I heard the best in Penang. So many stall selling food namely chinese food, malay food, indian food, western food. They even have a fruit stall and a tid-bit stall.The company sponsors RM2/day for lunch for its staff. This means if I take 3 dishes, and it costs me RM2.90, the company pays RM2 and I pay RM 0.90. Cool or what???

And opposite this huge cafeteria is another cafe selling cakes and some other food, something like secret recipe. The food is more pricey, and is not subsidized.

In this company, there is a minimart. So anytime if you are hungry, you can go there to buy buns, mee in cup, etc.

Let's just say you can go and eat at the cafeteria or buy food anytime at all. Super flexi. Eat and eat and eat...
but getting from one place to another is a form of exercise..hehe

That's all for today. Hope tomorrow will be a better day.
