NU12_Professionalism_Roque

Hi Sir,

Here's my 6th NU12 Topic: Professionalism – new work, methods, practices

 

My level n in our company has no time-in/out, don't have late & at the same not entitled for OT pay. But of course we are still required to complete at least 8 hours of duty per day. Our company is in expansion state and it means we have lots of work to do so, it can't really be avoided to extend for long hours most of the time. One of our colleagues, same level as I am, always refuse to extend because he said that he's not paid if its after 5PM. Though it his right, I think it's still wrong.

Being part of the management requires higher sense of responsibility. I think the reason we were given freedom of our time is because we are expected to bring result no matter what. We don't need to be monitored from time to time and check what we are doing every hour, what is important is our output. Going back to my colleague, there's nothing wrong to just work from 8am-5pm if he provides the output needed from him. But the problem is that the works we have now really need so much time; comprising it with a shorter time may result to not so good output.  I think as professional, we should be responsible enough to understand our task . No one will repetitively tell us the things that we need to do, because they know that we should know them already. In work, even if we were already promoted to the position that we want, we should not stop doing our best. Even the person in the highest position can't just be stagnant forever or else, he might lose that position someday. Aside from that, we should also care for our colleagues especially those that belong to our group. They might be affected with our behavior; if someone in the group does not do his part, usually there's no choice but for others to take it. Like what they say, great power comes with great responsibility.  (work attitude is important, love what you do and do what you love)
