It seems that the department is hiring too much new staffs this time… every morning a bunch of new staffs are gathering outside the HR department since late last year… and sometimes they are quite noisy while waiting their turn to be called at the waiting area next to the lifts… which unfortunately my office, IT department, is sharing the same floor with the HR department.

These people are not coming for interview, but to report duty… I understand that there are more than 20 civil, electrical and mechanical engineering jobs to be filled this year. And not only engineering jobs are to be filled, but there are also about 30 jobs for assistant engineers and technicians. So far I’ve seen about 11 engineers name from the official list…

So what’s the problem with this sudden surge of staff other than the noise they are making?… well, now we have to cater for their IT needs… new PCs… new printers… new network connections… new email accounts… And it seems that we are depriving the existing staffs’ IT requests because of these extras… who are ‘hijacking’ all the IT stuffs… looks like this year is going to be a busy year…
