...FirSt VisiT...

Actually, this is not our first visit at our HRM company. Our company in HRM is LYR. Located at along Acacia road near mental hospital. During our first visit there last week, we all agreed that it will be our company. We like the said company because the HR manager is very approachable, and even if we still haven't given him the letter of permission if we can can conduct study in the company, he already given us the informations we need.

Today is our first interview on him. We waited about 1 hour because he still has his matters to tackle about. We discussed about how an HR manager works. How to conduct an interview, how to terminate employee, how to deal with applicants. We didn't focus on our report, we focus on how an applicant started and how to hire people. We talked about kinds of organizations. There are types of organizations. First, the TALL ORGANIZATION. Tall organizations illustrates the power from the GM or the General Manager down to the HR manager and Legal Personnel, down to the supervisor, down to the workers or staffs. Another kind of organization is the FLAT ORGANIZATION. The flat organization illustrates the authority from the superior ones or the GM down directly towards the workers or staff. We also discussed some businesses inside the company, like legal leave, such as maternity leave. And there are basis on the said legal leave that the HR might have the authority to suggest the applicant regarding to the basis. The company as well don't have the authority to terminate people regarding on his/her face. There are legal basis to be applied on terminating employee/employees. The company as well has there own basis on screening, recruitment, and training. During there recruitment, they have there two types of examination. The non-standarized test and the standarized test. There training requires learning from the training as well. Training is basically done if the employee or the applicant lack knowledge due to new technology, and theres a deficiency of performance. He also explained to us the benefit after the training. That there will KASH after it. It simply means, Knowledge to his/her lacking, Attitude towards the learning, Skills to be developed, and make it a Habit as well.

But there's a simple phrase that sticks to my mind after the discussion, "LEARNING IS UNLEARNING!". The training aims to unlearn those attitudes that reflects bad impression and learn new one's. Isn't that inspiring??

That's it for today's adventure.

...OSS aWaReneSS...

According to the research I've made, OSS or the Open Source Software defined as a computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available under a copyright license or arrangement such as the public domain, meaning OSS is a free software that doesn't undergone any fees at all. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or unmodified form.

Open Source Software is a big help to be use in schools. Thus, the privilege given to the students given them the chance to open or even download the software. OSS can also teach students to learn how to use a range of software. They can be aware of using not only one software but many software they can as long as it is free.

British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (BECTA) had there surveys to those OSS schools to non-OSS schools. The report discovered that those who implements OSS in there schools spent up to 50% less on there total cost. Meaning, if our school implements OSS, it may lessen up the cost were paying for a license software. And because license is not in terms,though there is still license to it, the school are not liable for any legal basis.

In implementing OSS in my school, USEP may install those OSS sofware as an optional alternative to those of not OSS software. Such as instead of Windows, install Linus as well. One way is that the community in USEP may also know whats the important or special role of OSS in the school, perhaps, conducting seminars to higher people are necessary. Relatively, we also must know what are those software included in OSS.

...compAny dOwnsizing...

Align to the said issue, downsizing, according to wikipedia, it is about lay-off of employees to cut labor cost and other issues regarding to the company. One company that undergone downsizing is one of the big or said to be the biggest telecommunication in America. the AT&T Telecommunications.

Last April of 2008, Telecom giant AT&T lay off 1.5 percent of its employees, primarily in management, in an effort to streamline its operations. AT&T had about 310,000 employees at the end of 2007, meaning the layoffs affect about 4,650 workers.

The said lay-off is due to "next step" in streamlining company operations in an effort to operate more efficiently after recent mergers between parent company SBC, the old AT&T and BellSouth. And still it it so to cut labor cost so that the profit of the said telecommunications increases from 2007 to 2008. The layoffs mean AT&T will take a one-time charge of US $374 million during the first quarter of 2008 and AT&T reported a net income of $3.1 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007. It's revenue for the quarter was $30.3 billion.

Still, the company helps the employee who has been lay-off by giving them another chances to apply again to the said company. The company still hires additional employees to support growth areas.

...AbOut mE..








Being yourself doesn't required perfection. And being imperfect doesn't required being like that forever. Maybe, sometimes i tend to be like this, because I want to be not because I want to be someone. Perfection is not being hold on, its just what other people think for themselves. Me, like what the quotes above had spoken. Me is just me. Simple, isn't it?

..GREEN CAMPUS COMPUTING..

http://ecenter.colorado.edu/energy/projects/green_computing.html
http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/~mgk3k/enwr/ccs.html
http://wings.buffalo.edu/ubgreen/content/programs/energyconservation/guide_computing.html


Green Campus Computing in the website I found states about how fast is Information Technology uprising right now. Usage of computers without consciously aware on its effect, not only for the user but also for the outside world. Its about how we save, we use computers properly and waste management.

Being a student of my proud university, and being a student who is commonly using computers on our computer laboratory, I can adopt green campus computing on my own simple ways. First, after using the computer, it must be properly shut down, not only the system unit we used but also the monitor and unplug it so that we can save and consume energy accordingly. According to an advertisement about energy saving, power off the appliances is not only the way to save energy, like television. It must be properly off and unplug the plugging, simply like computers. Of course, monitors are also television. Secondly, if theres no one using the computers, and we observed that some computers are working, we must have our own initiative to turn it off. We must not wait for the instructors to tell us to. Still, we are saving energy in that case and we are saving the cost as well. Third, some students in our university, especially the one using the computer laboratory loves to change the screen saver of the monitor. According to the research, using of colorful and moving screen saver may also consume large amount of energy. Try to use one color or not that colorful screen saver to save energy. Fourth, do not abuse the usage of computers. Computers also have their own heating and cooling device. It may not only creating energy consumption increase, also, its cost increases. And lastly, do not destroy or steal any parts of the computers in the computer laboratory, like mouse or other cases CPU. It will also involved that the system unit itself may lead to damage and of course, buying another parts of it can give our university another hassle. In cases, its still our lost because we are the only one using the laboratory.

Lets just be aware of whats happening in our community today.

..a pOem Of LovE..

One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay
A mortal thing so to immortalize!
For I myself shall like to this decay,
And eek my name be wiped out likewise.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
And in the heavens write your glorious name;
Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,
Our love shall live, and later life renew.
