September ushers in a lot of things...for the majority, it's the start of the 'BER' months which means Christmas is just around the corner. You won't be suprised if you start hearing Christmas songs over the radio and see Christmas trees and decors start coming out in the malls. Soon, it will be red and green all over. On a side note, I better start putting together my Christmas wishlist! Hihihi.
But for the ACN folks, September is the start of a new fiscal year and everyone's waiting for the much-awaited salary letter. Last year was something we just wanted to forget since we didn't have an increase because of how the economy was. But this time around, we had something to look forward to - the increase is back and our senior execs have been hyping us up that it will be good.
I was one of those who constantly checked my mail over the weekend, hoping that it will be released by then. But nothing. Maybe it will be released by midnight, so I also stayed up late waiting and refreshing the MCLA site every 5 minutes or so. But still nothing. By the morning of September 1st, everyone were already impatient and restless. It was finally released by lunch time. It so happened that we were at Shang having lunch at that time so imagine our anticipation that we can't see it yet until we returned to the office!
As soon as we got back to the office, there were mixed reactions. There were some who weren't happy with what they got (bitter mode!) while there were some who were pretty much satisfied. I hoped I would be part of the latter. So I immediately checked and after a few minutes (as expected, the site was so slow with all the people trying to access it), there it was - my FY11 salary letter.
How was it? Met expectations. Given that I wasn't promoted this year, I was pretty much satisfied with the increase. Of course it would have been better if it was bigger but it wasn't bad. Pwede na. It's a good start of the year. Now, the only thing missing is for our visualization to push through...hehehe.
That would be the cherry on top :)
