Makan Gaji

Majority of us earned our living by " Makan Gaji"  or in other terms salaried employee. The meaning is that we are hired by a company for a specific tasks or specialisation. Makan gaji juga membuatkan kita jadi routine. Why? cuba perhatikan we did almost the same thing untuk bertahun- tahun. Breakfast almost the same food, lunch time at the same time, and do our groceries during the weekend ( most of us do).

Makan Gaji ini in the old days bila kita bekerja makan gaji, it is a career for life. Sampai pencen la. Whether it is in the government or private sectors.

Tapi masa telah mengubah segalanya.  Satu pekerjaan kalau suatu masa dulu boleh kerja sampai pencen dah hampir tidak wujud di zaman sekarang ni. Syarikat- syarikat bergabung, penstrukturan semula menjadikan segalanya uncertain.

Jadi dah agak senior pun sekarang dan hampir nak pencen pun kekadang terpaksa lagi mencari-cari pekerjaan di laman laman web dan juga di ruangan iklan dalam surat khabar. Terpkasa lagi attend interview dan sebagainya. Padahal pada umur yg dah tinggal hampir nak pencen sepatutnya boleh duduk dengan selesa tidak lagi wujud pada masa sekarang.

Walaupun kita love not to make a move but many of the occassion the "Push Factors".  Ye lah sebagai contoh, syarikat undergoing right sizing ( ayat positive which actually meant pengecilan), redesignation, Boss tak favor, dan banyak lagi faktor- faktor lain.

Jadi yang penting untuk the new generation we must cultivate the culture that they must take a up something that have a special skills. such as cooking, tailoring or even mechanics. Even though you have a degree, master or PHD.  Otherwise, you will become a routine man.

Finally, more importantly you must always stay alert and acquire sebanyak mungkin imlu pengetahuan and special skills that we can always jump to another when the time come. Wassallam....
