NEO ends.

NEO stands for New Employees Orientation, a mandatory 7-day training in the bank where I'm now employed. It started last week and ended today. So why am I telling you all about this? Well, I just want to share my thoughts regarding the way I handled this 7-day training.

Imagine a fish being sent out to a group of starfishes. Yeah I know, my analysis seems kinda weird but all I want to say is that I felt like I do not belong on the first day. It was mainly because most of them are products of the bank's one-day hiring, they've been all together since that day and majority are cliques coming from the same university in college. And so I felt like I was an outsider. For the nth time, I was the ultimate anti-social, introvert, quiet-type person during the first few days of training. I was a bit hesitant to befriend them because they've already established a relationship and you know, the system will go wrong once 'change' comes into that system. Well I hope you get my point. I didn't want to be a nuisance and so I chose to be all by myself--NOT SO ME!!!

As days of my EMO state went by, I discovered myself mingling with these people, telling them some of my life's story and at the end of the day, IT FELT DAMN GOOD. I felt like a doggie being sent out of a cage. :D

And so the 7-day training ended and sadly, I wasn't able to establish a 'stronger' bond with my neo-mates since it's really too late for me to do that. But the good thing is that I had some of them added to my Facebook account. haha and I swear, I won't be suplada when I see them around the workplace.
