EXPECTATION VS REALITY : WHEN YOU START WORK AS AN EMPLOYEE FOR THE FIRST TIME

‘’ *SIGH … Oh dear God !‘’ , that’s an expression of mine when starting write this article. I don’t know why I suddenly come up with this title to begin with, but then again this could be a sign of my disappointment  and I just really like to write this on my blog.

But make no mistake, I’m not saying that I hate my job or ensure your first job is something you’ll be regret.  Alright, how should I put this, I’ve graduated from university a year ago after 5 years  and the fact that having a first job was GREAT, I tell you that J. Just imagine you can buy stuff that you want with your own money and start living independently.

 Yet the truth  is it  just  for temporary, and it’s not my motive to break you on this but I suggest don’t bring too much expectation when you hired as an employee for the first time. In reality all those expectation you seek won’t be as good as anybody would said. Probably you might be end up to some of these situations.

WORK PLACE

Expectation :

The office where you’ll be working would be as nice, cozy and ‘’instagram-able’’ as google. Have you ever watch “ The Internship ‘’ ? If not, I suggest you watch it. You’ll know it’s like heaven on earth being one of the employee in that company.

Reality :

Well, hope you’re not Lebron James. Because the only place you’ll be working as first timer employee would be like 60 to 110 sq.ft. area of cubicles per person, brights with fluorescent light and complete with the sound of a dead soul.

THEY WILL PAY YOU A LOT

Expectation :

As you start working at company, an expression of ‘’It’s time to make the big bucks’’ will  cover your face followed by a whisper of greed. ‘’ I’m going to be rich. Rich beyond my wildest dreams!’’.

Reality :

Well, after you received your ‘’hard work’’ payment. You’ll be visited by two magicians called ‘’Mr. Bills & Mrs. Tax’’. They will bring some magic trick which make your precious pay cheque disappear faster before you even spend it.

BLOW EVERYONE AWAY AND GET THAT PROMOTION !

Expectation :

You show up early, put everything that you’ve learned from college, and happen to make a comment about the changing needs for the company that concerned by the CEO. Before you know it, a promotion of becoming the youngest Vice President will soon be yours.

Reality :

Boi! The moment you step in to your new office, you’ll be  asking for ‘’copies work’’. Meaning you’ll eventually doing a lot with the copy machine and people‘s there just  walks by your desk and joking about  how's the copy machine treatin You. They don’t give a crap about your degree, what matter is you get your work done. Whereas for your Boss, unlikely giving you a promotion, he/she barely know you.

Quick dialog :

You              : ‘’ Hi Bos, Just finished what you’re ask for ‘’

Your Boss    : ‘’ Good ‘’

You              : ‘’ Can I get my promotion yet, just like you promised…Dacades Ago!’’

Your Boss   : *Sudden Memory Loss*, ‘’ What promotion? And who the hell are you !? Did you even working here?’’

YOUR FRIENDS WILL ENVY OF YOUR WORK

Expectation :

When your friends ask about you work, you’ll probably boast the name of your company. Immediately they started to envy you and ask for your advice how exactly you can get that job.

Reality :

They (your friends) have more interesting and well paid job than you do, which ironic that will makes you sit in the  corner of the table, try avoiding that kind of conversation while maintaining your pride.

HOT ROMANCE

Expectation :

You’ll meet a hottie with a naughty body and do weird things in the copyroom. #GiggityGiggityGoo

Reality  :

Well, I’m not say it would be impossible. But brace yourself, Lads! common scenarioes would be either they’re 40’s, married or some golddigger sluts! #Ehem

But hey, if you’re a ‘’Quagmire-kind’’ of person, Well …#GiggityGiggityGoo to you!!

HELPFUL AND EXCITED COWORKERS

Expectation :

You finally found some sophisticated yet professional team mates which will help you through the process of your carrer. You’ll be able to learn something from the experts and given enjoyable yet interesting task the moment you walk through the door.

Reality  :

Yeah, good luck noobs! The fact that you’re younger and had no remarkable reputation, you’re just a fresh meat amongs the wolves. Not a mention the drama, the cattiness, the back stabbing. Frankly, it’s more like penitentiary, You just have to keep calm and watch your ‘’back’’.

So there you have it, the actual things that might be happened the first time you become employee. But just relax, good things and bad things won’t last forever. You probably could end up hitting at bar with your old friends or probably with some random people. Cheers !!
