It has been a while since I wrote about this series since I stopped working in corporate. Refer to the previous series here.

You may be aware I was hospitalized in Sep due to heavy bleeding which rendered me a drip, blood transfusion and iron drip.

I dailed into a conference call on hospital bed during roll out of divisional initiatives. I don’t have to but I wanted to because I put in so much effort and I want to see how it came out when announced.

After being discharged, while on Hospitalisation Leave (HL), I was working the whole week. Training registration, reminders and making sure they are from the said division. Manual process but I tried to automate it as much as I can.

“Can she do this?” the big boss asked my employer. This refers to calling and remind everyone who has not completed their yearly CPD hours and renewal of their real estate license with the current company.

First, I am not the admin stuff of the real estate company. I am only a registered real estate salesperson and also employed part time under someone’s dormant company and assisting with the division and also the affiliated training school. I shuttle around three entities.

The actual real estate company has an army of full time stuff calculating the hours and sending reminders. I know this because I received the reminders myself.

If someone still hasn’t completed their six yearly training hours it when they have a whole year to do it, they probably don’t want to renew their license or they are not keen to continue their career with you.

“She is on HL,” my employer reminded the big boss.

“Oh I forgot,” said the big boss.

It’s not that you don’t know. You just didn’t bother to care and remember when I told you.

It hurts. It still hurts after three months. I felt unappreciated, used and abused but I should let it go and not let these emotions get the better of me.

In the more professional work environment I had been in, I never receive work requests after office hours and during weekends. More so when I was on any type of sick leaves.

Maybe this is one big enough reason for me to consider leaving and seek alternative employment or another agency. At the end of the day, I only want to make more money and provide a better quality of life for my family.

Perhaps I need a coach or a better mentor.
