The electronic/high-tech industry is so not for mechanical engineers. I think ME people here at my new company are second class citizens, while EE and other computer related engineering are the "glamor" people . White-washed floor, ceiling and walls, clean rooms, dust free, bunny suits, people in scary white suits...... we have no business here. I think this place somewhat reminded me of EECS building or something. Actually it looked more like a top secret lab slash research facility at first.... pretty scary.
This is such a departure from my previous company. Here, its very open(communication), and we have a uniform. Grey polo shirt.... pretty ugly actually..... and clean shoes. I havent gotten my shoes yet.... so now I wear shoe cover every day. We really look like "mat kilang" or "minah kilang" regardless of position. Whereas previously, we had to wear long sleeves and tie at the hq, and casual only at the site office. I actually like dressing up.... you feel important and people actually treat you better lol.... in my opinion. The good thing about the uniform is..... no need to worry about wearing the same shirt everyday or buy new shirt.... hehe.
Lunch break is only an hour.... so I cant go back home for lunch.... which means I am eating out every weekday. The rule of thumbis .... eating out is expensive, ceiss. Lunch break is also quite a big deal.... you have to find a "geng" to have your lunch with. If you call your colleagues with the title "uncle".... it can be tough to find a lunch geng..... have to go to other departments to find a geng or something.
Yesterday, quite a few people suggested that its a good idea to have lunch outside instead of at the canteen.... this morning I concurred. Which is much more expensive.... because a full meal at the canteen costs like 1.50.... full meal, not nasi with tauge or things of that nature lol.... with chicken and everything. But cheap for a reason....
