9 months out of Shell

It has been 9 months since I left Shell. Time has really flown by. I just realised that it is not easy getting a new credit card since I am out of work and there is no source of income.

While I have put in TPD claims for all my insurance policies, I do not know the outcome. SOCSO has called for a 2nd medical board for my incapacity pension claim.

My moods continue to fluctuate. I am still on heavy medication. My vision moves from blurry to clear to blurry even with my new prescription glasses. My pupils are dilated. I tend to get sleepy driving. My temper is shot at home with the boys. I am very forgetful.

There is still no news from the Industrial Court regarding my case vs Shell.

Despite it all, my boys are growing up well and fast. I do feel aged now and again. I enjoy doing the little things at home. Mus is going back to Aceh for good and soon we will not have any domestic helper. We will have our home to ourselves.

The Arrogance of Shell

Today I suffered a defeat at Shell.  Shell claims that it has done everything according to its HR policies and the law in my termination.  However, they are willing to provide me with some improved terms.  Their only requirement is that I drop my case at the Industrial Court.

I feel so lost, so sad that it has to come to this.  Now I await the written letter from Shell on what the HR Director told me today and I will see what is the right course of action in the next 2 weeks.

My lament to Shell:  Your snobbery will someday make you pay for your heartlessness and the people who stood in the way will find out one day what it is like to be treated thus.
