EEEEvery year, ORSEM marks the start of every Atenean Freshman’s life in college. However, something deeper within is the very confirmation of an Atenean’s college life and that is his or her registration as a college student. That’s why one should pay respect to RegCom for their registration in the school to be attended properly and processed successfully.
Now, the title’s the very topic. 😀 An assessor, a member of LSAT, might think, or worse to assume, that all who go out of registration duty because they wanted to join ORSEM are automatically terminated from LSAT. Not exactly. Here are my reasons why one assessor can be terminated due to ORSEM
1. Commitment – Yes, definitely one firm reason why one can be terminated. At the very interview of the applicant, he/she is asked if there are any possible commitments that can be a hindrance to the service during registration. Once the applicant confirms that he/she can fully commit to this university service, it is already understood that this person chose to work during the registration and refrain from obtaining other obligations.
2. Schedule – It seems that most of the time, ORSEM lands on the registration period itself. However, if the ORSEM does not become conflict with the registration period, an assessor can freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely accept the ORSEM obligation and continue his/her LSAT duties without inflicting liability points, probationary status or termination to himself/herself.
3. The Question of University Service – Yes, I admit that ORSEM is one helluva great university service. Orienting freshies to the new battlegrounds they entered is one exciting, fun and fulfilling action. However, as I’ve always repeated, #1.
Now, one might think we becoming strict with regards to other activities, preventing others to do other stuff than just being an assessor.
Try to look at the LSAT duties this way: Imagine this pokey university service is like your real life work. Indeed, it simulates a typical work environment with working policies and disciplinary measures. In real life work, most of the companies or the people who hire workers are actually not lenient in other work loads. In other words, they don’t tolerate excuses in jobs. You applied because you will work. You are accepted because it is assumed that you will deliver full commitment to this job. I’m actually surprised not to see something like a 6-month dry run for applicants. That is because LSAT only works during registration periods. However, it is fine for one assessor to assume a different responsibility, as long as it doesn’t become in conflict with the LSAT duties.
Personally, the reason why I stayed here in LSAT is not because I wanted the benefits which does not worry me too much when OAA demands for the required number of service hours per semester. The reason I stayed here because the service somewhat simulates a work environment, working on teams, managing co-workers and implementing discplinary measures. Time-in’s and time-out’s as well as the allowance, which is based on the number of hours you’ve worked during the whole registration period. It teaches members how to abide on work rules, how to be punctual, how to work properly according to procedures. It teaches leaders and assistant leaders on proper team management and immediate response to concerns as well as become representatives for their team. It lets the overall head to learn a lot of team management techniques. Those methods that I implemented such as sending homeworks to get feedbacks as well as bonding with the respective teams are not my own ideas but rather ideas that I learned from my dad and brother who are in the same position in the corporate world. And recently, the Waiting-list system that the team is about to implement on the upcoming recruitment is not my idea but an idea from the previous Graduate Studies Assessment leader. The Team shirt, for peace’s sake! I though I was the first one to implement such thing but one of the Team Captains before said they did get a shirt for themselves. See? It’s so nice to learn in this place, it basically prepares you on the strict world of work when you exit college.
So when it boils down to the reasons why people get terminated, even if the duty they assume aside from LSAT is a university service, the word commitment explains itself. And if the idea of strictly following the rules is to be followed, then basically I have no more question about it, I’ll let the constitution do the rest.
Sure is, in a pessimistic way. 😀 I’m here in Krispy Kreme Greenhills, waiting for my family to finish what they have to do here. I’m saying that it is an epic failure for now, not because the women dumped me but because I am not courageous enough to court them. I don’t know but I wanted to be close friends with the girl first, not giving her a hint quickly that I like her. But I guess it’s not gonna work in this generation. Women are sooooooooo different nowadays.
