And because the management favors the Sales group over the Support group, the Web Team was transferred to another schedule, 2PM-10PM. Before, we’re the only ones who are using our own PCs. But because the company is “growing” and there are insufficient PCs to accommodate the newbies, they had to move our schedule so the Agents could work on their schedule. I don’t get it. Why do they treat the Support Group as if we’re less significant? If not for us, will the Sales have something to sell?
I’m still unsure if I like this sked better. Hmm, let me try to weigh the pros and cons..
CONS:
One. It’s a little dangerous to commute after 10PM. Considering I’ll be passing through EDSA (Manila’s busiest, most dangerous main road) since it’s the only way I could get home. Unless I’d ride a cab, which is also unsafe! I’m starting to be anxious about those horrible stories people being mugged while walking the streets alone. =/
Two. The sun is scorching hot outside at around 1PM when I leave for the office. Scorching hot!
Three. Goodbye social life! No meet-ups at the mall with friends after office hours.
Four. We can’t render overtime at the office anymore. Call Center Agents are scheduled to use our PCs right before and after our schedule.
Five. I’m no longer able to watch some of the shows I’ve grown to love on TV. By the time I get home, I’ll be just in time to watch the late night news.
And the, PROS:
One. I don’t have to wake up so early in the morning. — That’s it! I can’t think of anything else! Waaaah.
It’s not like I can do something to change this. And it’s not like I’m actually complaining. I’m just, you know… weighing my pros and cons. Haha! Good thing is, the people up there said that we’re not gonna stay in this schedule for long. They might have us work on our regular schedule after this week. Might. They might not. :(

that sucks! hehehe. i’d rather go to work early so i can leave early than report in the afternoon ang go home after the sun has already set. heheh. is your sked permaenent??
Shavei7: suck is the right word. haha! Me too, i’d rather go to work early. hehe. i don’t think this sked is permament, they might bring it back to our regular sked which is 6am-3pm. as to when, i have no idea. :(
sure! will be adding you… err now! ^_^
I’m wondering what I’d do if I were to have that same schedule [which is possible]. I’m not gonna be able to watch all the prime time shows I love. But then again, there are replays.
I like sleeping in. Which, I agree with you, is the only pro… I usually sleep late, like past 12 MN, so with that schedule, it would still be possible to get 8 hours of a good night’s sleep. =]
well you just have to show them that you’re not just a bunch of ordinary groups ya know? :D do your best ;)
