No I'm not thinking of quitting, I like my job, my colleagues & boss. But I notice for the past 1 year , there's one peculiar position in my office which has a 6 times turn over. Yes, 6 new colleagues had come & gone within a year. The post?
Receptionist. It started with our beloved Jessica, who quit to have a baby. She had wanted to be a stay at home mum for the next 2 years looking after her first born child- noble. The next girl that came in was a 20 year old fresh poly graduate, it was her first job. We treated her so nice, by the time she left 2 months later, her mother bake a delicious cake & lots of cookies for us! We still check on her through facebook ....lol... she's still jobless !
Second girl that replaced the first completed her N-level, this was her third job, she was from sales previously. Again she said goodbye 2 months later to join insurance. She tried to sell to us, but all of us were quite cautious as she don't seem to know what she's selling. I guess the real issue was we were still quite mad for having to look for another girl, also without a receptionist we had to take turns doing it.
Third, fourth & fifth girls did not stay more then 2 months either. We finally hold a meeting to discuss the receptionist issue. Is the position jinks? What's the problem? The pay is not bad, It's a relatively simple job. Someone pointed out that's precisely the point, it's too simple, thus equate to being very boring for young girls. Our X-Jessica is a rare breed, she's one of us & enjoy the freedom of doing nothing much ....lol... I called her to tel her how much we missed her ....lol...
Finally Boss decided to hire someone older.
