Experiences as a Compounding Trainee at Top Glove

Aku dah sebulan kerja as trainee dekat Top Glove so teringin sangat nak menulis sikit cerita pasal pengalaman dekat TG ni. So far so good. But let me tell you from A to Z. Before that, nak bagitahu sikit details. Aku trainee dekat factory 10 and put under department Compounding. Sebab different factory lain cerita dia. Dari segi teamwork, racist pun ada, good system, bad system, good and bad worker/staffs. To whom I reported to? I don’t think its appropriate to mention his name but he is one of the best leader Ive ever known dekat TG tu. He is the assistant manager which I can say, I am vey grateful to work with him.

The Beginning

If you wonder why kenapa aku letak tittle the beginning tu, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. TRUST ME GUYSSSS THIS AINT JOKE !!! Even 1^st day pun korang will be serabut dengan too much informations. Serabut sebab banyak benda korang kena brain. Seriously, susah sangat nak faham. Korang will register at 8am and scan thumbprint dalam office to activate your thumbprint. Okay nak bagi tips kat sini, any fingers pun boleh so better korang use jari telunjuk. Aku punya jari tu not function at that time so I have to use my thumb. It was quite difficult la sebab kena senget2 badan masa nak thumbprint in/out. Trust me. Korang kalau dah jadi trainee/staff korang akan faham.

Nak dijadikan cerita, TG ni agak complicated sikit sebab company besar kan, so dia akan explain pasal report and everything.Dengar cerita ada trainee yg left on 2nd day of training. HAHAHAHAHA ! FYI I did feel that way sebab trust me kerja memang penat.

Projects Started

TG ni famous dengan banyak projects given to the trainees. But this kind of thinking don’t ever put it in your mind. Sebab only certain factory je yg macamtu. But for my case,yesssss! I have tons. Masuk2 terus bagi 3 projects. And now, dah ada 4 nak masuk 5 but I am too busy so lagi satu tu pending dlu lah. Kawan aku from F2 OHMAIIIIII dia ada 2 projects je after sebulan kerja. Like whatttt! Itu pon dia punya satu project kena cancel. Gila best kan!!! Aku ni boleh kata tiap hari busuk sebab berkejar nak siapkan project. Tambah2 kalau ada yg berhati busuk tambahkan kerja aku dengan kerja diorang lagilahhh Ya Allah. Trainee memang akan dibuli. Pheww bikin panassss~🤓🤧😅

How was work

So far so good like I said. Okay! This is the important part that people will dying to search for this topic. I was damn struggle since the first day I came taw. Even 2^nd day pun kerja banyak. Project banyak is a good thing actually. Even kau rasa macam kau dah nak mati tapi think about your future, kalau employer tanya kau, apa kau buat dekat TG as trainee. Kalau kau ada project berlambak macam aku ni for God sake kau ceritalah dekat dia semua benda sampai dia nganga and amazed dengan kau. Boleh banyangkan tak intern without doing anything? Korang nak gebang apa dekat employer/interviewer nanti?💼 Banyak cases from my friends, trainee bagi kerja stapler, photostat and so on. So bersyukurlah kamu wahai manusia.

Okay2, trainee as compounding dekat F10, dekat F10 je eh sebab factory lain punya trainee comp lain pulak cerita diorang. Aku ni perempuan. Masa aku sampai2 office for the 1^st time I met the former trainee which dia nak habis dah after 3 days aku masuk tu. Dia macam terkejut sebab perempuan yg masuk but the fact is trainee compounding kerja like lelaki tau. Angkat drum berat2, latex, cari chemical, go to other factory ambil sample which is not sesuai for girls. But abaikan semua tu. Look at me now! Still survive. Ive heard ada few trainees after 2 days and some a week after, terus blah tak tahan. It depends, as long as you have the spirit, you'll stay 😚.

What kind of work do I do ?☠

1.Chemical test

So far test yg aku dah buat is :

-          Alkalinity test

-          Corrosion test

-          Cleaning efficiency test

-          TSC

-          TSS

-          Coagulum test

-          MST test

-          Swelling Index (SI)

-          Physical properties test

-          Powder content

-          Viscosity test

-          Antifoaming test

-          Handdip (make gloves)

2. DWR (daily working report)

This is a must for everyday. Apa yg kau buat haritu, kena letak dalam DWR. Tak payah rasa terbeban pun sebab ni helps a lot for logbook. Kalau korang lupa nak tulis apa dalam U logbook tu, c/p je balik dari DWR.

3.  Suggestions

Every month kena bagi 2 suggestion. Suggest je apa2 janji logic. Kalau lepas due date, kena double suggestions so 4 suggestions. Hamek kau!

4.  Missing fingerprints

Ni paling aku benci sebab kalau missing fingerprints ni kau biar, ni lah punca gaji kena potong. Yang bengangnya, bukan main system ni kena access system tu kena access at the end system diorang yg problem, kita lah yg susah. Nak cerita steps kat sini untuk cover balik duit2 yg kena potong tu susah. Susah sebab banyak, so advice from me is, every month cek. Kalau xfaham, tanya buddy (staff hired to help you. Act as your real buddy. Kalau dapat yg peramah and baik best lah)🐼
  
5. OJT (On Job Training)

This is korang kena jumpa HOD every departments, book masa dengan diorang so that diorang boleh tutor about department diorang. Benda ni kena buat report at least 10. So, kena pergi at least 10 departments. Dah siap report, minta sign diorang pulak. Dah minta, kena hantar dekat Admin. Due date dia is a month after masuk. Better buat awal2 lah sebab time tu tengah tak busy. Tapi, time aku awal2 pun dah busy kadang datang lambat for OJT. Tapi diorang okay je.

6. Transportation & Accommodation

Out of topic sikit tapi kat sini transport penting. Dia akan bagi hostel yg 8min from factory. Memang la bunyi macam dekat tapi kalau nak jalan dari hostel ke factory kinda boleh mati kot which is impossible. Rumah ni dia sediakan everything (tv, fridge, sofa, katil, bantal) kecuali cadar and almari/locker. Aku beli yg rack sambung sendiri tu murah sikit.

This one i got cabutan bertuah for raya celebration eventho i prayed for not to. Sebab ramai sangat org at that time so malu2 kucing even nak jalan in front of them. I got weight balance taw maybe dia perli aku kot makin gemuk dok sini. Work hard eat hard la kan. See not all i get torns here, sometimes i do get roses. Pray to Allah that you can withstand all the circumstances. Allah will always help. Remembered those time i prayed to Allah "nak topglove as my place for internship" and now He gives me just like that. I cudnt ask for more ❤

Ni paling besttt. Korang boleh masuk gym dia FOR FREEEEEE! 1st time masuk bring badge card then register dengan receptionist tu then walakhhh ! Siap!!! Everytime nak masuk just thumbprint je. Serious gym dia best rugi xpergi.! And diorang ada schedule for zumba, yoga, boxing for free jugak so feel free to come. Rugi la intern topglove tapi tak try out all these facilities kan !😉

Aku once pergi TG GOT TALENT tawww. Aku tak expect dia buat dekat ballroom. Balloom dia tu sangatlah gedevu gedevas uollss! Tapi makan mihun je. Xkisahlah janji experience masuk ballroom tu memang superb ! 

So far ni je yg aku mampu cerita sebab rasanya memang ni je. If any curiosity, you can leave your comments.
