Introed by mac, the agency told him that the job is at suntec and involves folding of lucky draw tickets and putting it into an envelope. $6/hr. 3 days only and at suntec so I thought it would be a simple job in a good environment. when mac introed it to me, I accepted it quite promptly. The agency then called me for my particulars and say will sms the address of the workplace to me. The workplace turns out to be a factory at sims drive. WTF man
Armour ah beng and kalong joined us at the work on the 2nd day after 2 malayus were retrenched for being too slow in their work.
Firstly the workplace is damn fucking ulu. 2 hrs wasted on travelling and 2km walked everyday.
secondly, the work is damn monotonous. The whole day u are slotting 3 pieces of registration form and a leaflet into the magazine.
thirdly, the workplace is bureacratic to the MAX. ur work desk is right in front of the warrant(supervisor)'s desk, u can't sit down and u can't even take a break for a while.
Once I went to the toilet to wash my face, less than 10 mins later, the sergeant major called me and asked me where am I and said no slacking is allowed. WTF.
Armour ah beng wanted to sit down and asked the supervisor if he can take the unused chair beside her table. The warrant said we can't sit down when working as we have not met her standard.
On the second day, the warrant asked mac and I to shift our work upstairs so that we could help a group of girls who are doing the same job. Because they were young girls, they need us to help carry some stuffs occasionally. No problem with that, but before I go up, the supervisor wanted told me not to slack upstairs and not to chit chat on my HP. then she EVEN WANTED TO CONFISCATE MY PHONE. WTF MAN. Treating me like a secondary sch student. Cannot accept this. Worst still, the company has cameras installed everywhere to monitor the workers.

Fourthly the Sergeant and the warrant behave like as if their job is well sought after and we are very lucky to get the job. Keep saying they used to hire part time at $5/hr, now it's $6/hr. Come on it's only $6 and hour and we have to work non stop all the way. It's not we cannot handle the job but we can easily get an easier job with a higher pay elsewhere. Not to mention they keep calling us xiao didi. WTF.
After armour ah beng got pissed off by not being able to get the chair, he decided to quit (on his first day). So we all quited together on that day. Such a nice guy also can get pissed off working there. LOL.
Earned around $100 in 2 days. This money is really hard earned.
