When it wasn't, we discussed how to make the most of what we had... <br /><br />Rest assured this piece is not in reference to you or our discussions. <br /><br />You knew what your obligations were and did not seek to run away from them, despite the ride being as rough as the one you experienced. That is admirable :-)<br /><br />Having clarified that, I completely agree with what you have said.Idamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02250513464010535731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148896996011694890.post-27760252522073285962011-06-13T15:58:03.315+01:002011-06-13T15:58:03.315+01:00in my case, i was only 15 when i "signed off ...in my case, i was only 15 when i "signed off my life" :O and yes, i did feel "cheated" in a way (although ignorance will not hold as a defense in court!)...so i could very well be one of the brilliant scholars you mentioned (terasa a bit la as i'm pretty sure i approached you for legal consult several times during my bond heheh). <br /><br />cheated or not, it is true that nothing in life is free and that applies to our very ivy-league education, with the "payment" being a bond of x number of years. tit for tat, eh?<br /><br />the problem i believe lies in both the scholar and the company. whilst the scholar should be appreciative of the company's sponsorship, i feel many companies neglect to develop the scholars to their full potential. <br /><br />it is sad when both parties fail to manage each other's expectations. the company's being that it is time for repayment for all that the company has invested (some what like the ah longs); the scholar's being that after having been exposed to top-notch education, they yearn for a different type of work culture & lifestyle. <br /><br />i'm not saying there is a straight forward way to manage these expectations...am no hr expert but perhaps this is something the company should look into as constructive feedback and a way to move forward.<br /><br />as for meeting working scholars, we did meet the seniors as you may recall those many many many years ago in klgcc but honestly, what did we know of company culture back then?<br /><br />then there are companies like shell...they actually interview the scholars just as they would any other job applicant and if the scholars don't make the cut, they aren't employed; the bond that binds is no more. at least that way, neither party can play victim when the "relationship" falls out. so the employment is a well-deserved achievement as opposed to forced. <br /><br />having said that, there are a few like you who have done really well and that my old friend, is admirable. as for me? well...you know me. i moaned and i groaned and well...i stayed on waaaay past my bond of 7 years. i'm still in awe that i did and it was not easy to leave a 15 year relationship that spanned throughout my a-levels, undergrad, masters and all of my working life....half my life, really.<br /><br />i made lemonade out of lemons. sadly though, the lemonade was more sour than it was sweet; my biggest fear when i entered sime, really did become my reality when i left. but alas, that is a different story altogether ;)izreen - fluff and stuff -https://www.blogger.com/profile/16835077738883048271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148896996011694890.post-63235567209399303592011-05-03T08:53:30.393+01:002011-05-03T08:53:30.393+01:00It is interesting because it has been started over...It is interesting because it has been started over here, for the past couple of years. Though it's for those who have already been recruited. <br /><br />Here's looking to better managed expectations :)Idamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02250513464010535731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1148896996011694890.post-31608723465025403742011-05-01T05:24:44.932+01:002011-05-01T05:24:44.932+01:00“Well, we were young then, not yet even 18, and di...“Well, we were young then, not yet even 18, and didn’t know that we were signing our lives away.”<br /><br />Strong words, but sponsors don't exactly go out of their way to present the realities. <br /><br />Being a former recruiter to these scholarhips, the kids are KPIs that I must meet. Their future happiness, or job fit or culture fit into the company is not an immediate concern.<br /><br />Had we introduced the prospective scholars to the working scholars before they signed their agreements, perhaps their expectations could have been better managed.<br /><br />A pool of naive idealism on one end, and cynical bitterness on the other. That would have been interesting :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
