I work in a MNC, in an engineering/manufacturing environment that about 75% of my colleagues are males. And I have a lot of male counterparts who are working closely with me in the States, China & EU.
And yet every time my childhood friends back in KL ask about my status, I'd shrug and say, "Nothing."
They couldn't believe that out of so many male colleagues, none of them managed to hit off with me. Well, I stand corrected. There is a bunch of (ex) colleagues that clicked so well with me that I've become an honorary sister to them. Haha.
My boss often despairs at our unmarried status (there are 4 of us girls in the team), and yet he couldn't lament too much or we'd shoot him back with "If we're all married, who would slog for you har?"
Work-life balance is easily said, yet so miserably unachievable, especially when the company goes overdrive into cost-reduction mode 75% of the financial year, every year.
