Hello. I need to sleep. But its too hot & sweaty.
I started my job as sales associate last Monday & suprisingly its only last for 2 freaking days. Why? Call me a brat but working at Uniqlo is INSANE. on Monday I started my shift at 12 noon. Starting w weird Japanese style of greeting (shouting while bow with each other and say stuff I can even understand). The people are nice but the task given to me are wayyyy to much. TIDY PILES OF CLOTH, PILES AFTER PILES. Its kinda crazy, & we cant just simply fold it and put em on the fixtures, instead the garment needs to be neatly in order according to sizing & colors,
Honestly, I really dont mind doing that bcz I understand thats how they do it in retails industry. && I thought my 1st day of job couldnt get any worse when the clock showing 1030pm. Thats when the shop were closed to people. && all the staff need to stay until 1130pm just to tidy the garment fixtures after fixtures. I believed that on that day my legs are just one step away from turning into soggy vegetables!
2nd day - the schedule isnt flexible or human-friendly. I need to started my shift at 8am evendo I finished at 1130pm yesterday. After only 5hours of sleep. I need to be ready at 7am bcz my house to setia city mall took abt 30-45mins. Arrived at Uniqlo at 7.50am looking pale and zombie-like face, again all the workers need to the the shouting and bow to each other. I thought Uniqlo really open at 8am. Then again, the reality doesnt lives up to my expectation! It open at 10, which means 2hours needed just to do all the cleaning and tidy the garments just like we did last night. In my opinion, whats the point of tidy all the stuff at night when you will do it again the next morning. Right? I really dont get their logic. The condition of my body on 2nd day is really bad. Like, really bad. I dont even do my make up except for brows otherwise people will be shocked if I arrive with my pale brows. And moisturizer. Thats all. I dont even bother to wear any lip-balm!! My back is killing me, the legs are swollen, my knees are asking for forgiveness from God(literally), my migraine decided to joined the forces.. I kept telling myself to just be patience for few hours before I can clock out at 7pm. && the time finally arrived when its time for me to get my ass out from that store when suddenly others who supposed to finish their shoft at 7pm didnt move an inch from their station... I quite shy to like casually walking leaving my station empty as nobody did. I asked Rashid who was my leader who very nice and friendly person y isnt nobody leave the station yet and he told me that usually they dont clock out sharply at 7pm bcz they still hve few task to do before they can leave. & im like , awkwardly back to station staring at all those shirts that I need to fold, and tidy and put at the fixtures. My legs couldnt stand anymore pain so I just fold the shirt half hearted and leave my station. And clock out... So thats my last day at uniqlo. Im not proud or regret my decision leaving my job there. It didnt end well and sooner than i expected. But, at least my body doesnt suffer. Thats all matters now. I can get the money anytime but I can only own 1 body for my whole life & i dont planning on ruining it anytime soon. Uniqlo pays quite nice salary to the workers and the benefit like 30% storewide for staff are to die-for but I dont really want a job that will make me regret it later.
EVERY CLOUD HAS ITS SILVER LINING, so does mine. I got a job at Machines and will starts my training this 23rd and officially start working on 1st of May. They offer me good salary and working hours are better than Uniqlo and so I take it.
So, thats pretty much my life so far. Honestly I dont really need the money now, Im just saving for my degree this upcoming September. Ugh cant wait!! Goodnight!
