Man In the Twighlight City

As Kusnadi predicted ..., if everything has a way!

Derryant could be said to be a little luckier or more precisely to be at the right time and place according to the circumstances when he first arrived at the office where he had been working.

The first time he accidentally met a former employee at Derryant's previous company, he was unemployed and was applying for a job which was located right next to this office. because the large number of applicants who came were not comparable to the positions offered and several other considerations made Derryant abandon his intention.

As a result, while still holding the files prepared, Derryant intended to continue to another application location.

However, before he left the location, someone he knew suddenly came up to him and immediately took him to his boss to introduce Derryant to him.

Apparently Derryant's name had been discussed and even recommended by former colleagues, but at that time he was still hampered by limitations in the information system, and also rumors were covered up by his old company regarding him having to decide to continue his college studies and wanting to work on a part-time basis. time than companies that want him to work full time. When Derryant first arrived, one of the vacant positions could be said to be vital and had not yet found a single person who met the criteria, the company was just starting to develop its business sector in the field it currently handles.

Talking about Bosses. Derryant in the company where he currently works can be said to be slightly different from the experience he received at his previous company.

His current boss could perhaps be said to be someone who is too open-minded or it could be because of Derryant's performance which was able to significantly make several changes in a more positive direction, thereby benefiting the company a lot.

It could even be said that Derryant is one of the right hands and trust of his superiors, especially for the position he is currently attached to, it is difficult to replace him, several times his superiors have tried to help him by adding assistants with the intention of moving him to another position at a higher level and filling other positions as an appreciation of the performance given.

This always does not produce results because on average all those who are seconded only rely on a high educational background without being willing or ready to work operationally in the field, nor can they quickly adapt to a progressive work environment.

So the boss has not yet provided a replacement for Derryant, instead the boss specifically asked Derryant himself to look for or train a potential successor to replace him in the position he currently holds.

There is one more interesting thing about Boss Derryant which still makes him smile every time he remembers what happened to him.

One night, office workers had only passed a few hours and had changed to the night shift, precisely on the basement floor of a multi-storey office building. The atmosphere or condition of the workplace environment which does resemble a warehouse still looks chaotic.

Understandably, at the same time, there was a move to a new work location, where Derryant was also busy moving some office equipment from the old location to the new place.

Meanwhile, at the same time, the number of employees on the night shift was not as large as now, there were only five people, including the boss Derryant himself, all of whom were employees from the head office.

For employees or prospective employees in the place they have just lived in, there is no one yet. The head office as the controller of business operations has not yet sent outsourcing personnel who have been agreed upon by operations management, if one day the new representative office is ready to operate on time. which has been agreed by the management.

As a result, the five old employees, including the Derryant boss, had to work hard and even all of them volunteered to share tasks. Until sometimes staying and residing temporarily in this new place according to their respective capacities.

"Derry, this is the fifth day after we moved from the old office to make this new office operate immediately, how about it? What do you think about Management's sudden decision?"

A question that suddenly came out of the boss to Derryant who was tidying up the files on the table.

Soon he had to go back to the warehouse where he was actually positioned, whereas the new office was just a temporary shelter.

"I'm used to it Mr. Ronald, don't we always have to be ready for whatever decision the management makes?" Derryant answered briefly.

"Didn't you already know that I was in their management before joining the current one?" Derryant continued

"Um..., I mean..."

Before Mr. Ronald had finished continuing his question, several other colleagues appeared to have arrived carrying several items of luggage, the atmosphere became noisy again so that Boss Derryant's request had not yet been answered.

"Later, after I return from the warehouse area and complete the routine obligations of sending letters and documents for plane departure or cargo handling, besides today is the last day and tomorrow is the weekend.

If Mr. Ronald wants to discuss it, you can discuss it tomorrow or the day after at the weekend, I'm the only one who still has single status here. So I was the only one there at that time” Derryant answered briefly. Then he rushed to the vehicle that had picked him up.

"Wow, it turns out you are very serious about discussing this job, Boss!" exclaimed Derryant, who didn't expect that Mr. Ronald, his boss, would come to visit the office at the weekend.

"Hey, if people have made a promise, they should have made a commitment Derryant, by the way, have you eaten yet?

Before I got here, I took time for the Grilled Chicken Delivery service," said the man.

His eyes were seen watching the project workers who were installing several electrical wiring installations next to the entrance to the room where Derryant was.

"Wow, coincidentally I haven't had any food since this morning, the cable workers deliberately came early so that their project could be completed more quickly today," Derryant explained the reason and also felt happy to get free food from his boss.

"How? Would you be willing to share your thoughts a bit about what I was talking about yesterday?” he continued

"I'm open minded, take it easy," Derryant replied casually while inviting Mr. Ronald to sit on the mat if he didn't mind.

"Okay then" Mr. Ronald paused to light his cigarette, one pack was given to derryant.

Derry! Based on Riski's narrative and the data he obtained. If I'm not mistaken, you are one of the former employees at the head office who initially went through the internship process and then chose not to continue with the extension period, the record has also been stated. This means that you are currently a full-time employee.

Between you and Ricky and two other people from the head office . Only you actually went through the internship program at that time while the others including Ricky were full time employees from the start working at the head office.

“Mr. Ronald, go ahead… Is my position on par with the three of them? Is that what you mean?” Derryan cut off the statement immediately because according to him, in essence, Derryant's problem had captured the intent and purpose of his boss to invite him to discuss.

"Ha..ha..ha.. You are a Derryant person to the point, I like that, uniq, I rarely meet someone like you" Mr. Ronald tried to compliment him.

“No need to praise much... I'm still hungry, can't talk much yet!

The delivery food has arrived!

Again, Derryant interrupted his boss' sentence in a joking tone and started tidying up the place for their mats to fill their stomachs for a while while also distributing several snack boxes to the project workers in the room.

Derryant's intention to speak to his superiors at the weekend was an act that could be said to be appropriate and Mr. Ronald also seemed to agree with this action, despite the situation being more relaxed or not tied to the formal status of both parties.

This also shows that Derryant does not show the partiality factor that he has seen towards his subordinates so far.

"Mr. Ronald..." Derryant opened the conversation.

As you have analyzed and learned while you worked at the company, you and I also know for sure the conditions and situations that have existed for a long time at this company.

Including differences from the two camps in the board of directors or the alignment of employees according to their respective backgrounds.

I can confirm that my presence is neutral and does not feel that I am taking sides with one of the camps that you are referring to, as you have investigated regarding our four colleagues from the head office.

From the start, I agreed and decided to join you because I already knew the background and direction or policies that were the main goals of this company in the future.

Apart from these classic problems, to be honest with you Mr. Ronald, all of this is just a stepping stone to my early career, not my main goal, only knowledge and connections that I might take when I join this company and I thank you for all of that.

Besides that, the conditions and regulations that apply have changed now, not like before when I was still an internship at the company.

I mean referring to the law that regulates everything regarding the employment system. You understand what I mean, right, Mr. Roland?” Derryant stopped his explanation for a moment.

Wait...Wait a minute..!

You mean the employment system!?” Master Roland repeated his question.
