da nu company....
Ah Yes...finally a post about the new job...
and let me start with a few adjectives...
wonderful...interesting....fun...and more fun..!!! ;)
Maersk Global Service Centres is a wonderful place to work in...
key highlights being -
- awesome boss *wink*
- kewl team members, who literally hold on to each word i say as their TL... *wink wink*
- ummm...."interesting" co-workers....*triple wink* :D
but on a more serious note, it is really a test of my patience....due to some "characters"...
1.an aunty jee, who always wants to talk to me about the "transport problems", at the slightest hint of me having free time or looking in her direction. :-|
2.a team member who can rant on about how she is "over-burdened, and there is no backup for my tasks, and there is simply too much work....and there is no one who can help with my tasks...and the workload is sreally a bit too un-manageable... " (note the repetition of the same issue in diff.manners....for my vocabulary-challenged readers... :P
3. very pesky little problems coming to me, which i tried with all the patience granted by god to me, to solve, in the initial days, but now am simply trying to ignore people who are known to come up with such ones...
enough about my job now, right?
so here, let me awe you with some stats about the company... ;) :D
here is their biggest ship....how big? ummm...try 6 football fields....or about the size of 2 small US aircraft carriers...ummm...big enough to carry a boeing inside it....and a 747-500 mind you.... ;)
and yes, a crew of 13. welcome to unrealistic levels of automation.. :)
notice the building-y thing in the middle? it's 15 stories high.
go figure the rest of the physics of this ginormous mammoth!! ;)
and well, they have only about 550 ships...and they are ONLY the biggest shipping company on the blue planet....a.k.a. earth....and their annual budget equals that of umm....say.....9 african countries....or about 2 american ones.... ;)
of course, these are estimates....
this dutch company is so diversified and wide, that it is not possible to put it into concrete figures...or estimates too.... :)
well, i hope i get paid something like 1% of their turnover.....maybe i will be satisfied then.....
just MAYBE..... :P
NjoY Lyf bloggers!! :D
