From A to Zzzz

The past week has been particularly significant to the project, and that includes me as well.

The main agenda was to get the agreement from the HR GMs to allow us to cutover to the new HR system. No more parallel, no more reconciliations, no more mess ups. Needless to say, it was tough, and it was good that these guys knew the pain and suffering that their staff have been going through.

All that’s left is to get all outstanding issues closed to make way for the second phase, which focuses more on employee development, career planning, etc. It’ll be interesting to see this work in line with the new corporate agenda of adopting a performance culture. I can still remember one of my user’s complaints about how useless people are being promoted. It’s just a matter of shaking them after 4-5 years and saying, ‘Hey, wake up! Promotion time!’. Needless to say, it made all of us young chaps feel sad.

It’s great to be in a two-day weekend. Think I’ve managed to recover most of my lost sleep time this morning, which I missed experiencing by 3 hours. The few remaining hours were spent watching Ocean’s Eleven and preparing more downloads for my pleasure tomorrow.

Tonight, gotta call the guys to find out what’s the clubbing plan.
