Di setiap kantor, pasti ada duo yang tak terpisahkan. Di perusahaan kami, ada Anang dan Lambang. Meskipun terpaut usia 10 tahun, keduanya dengan cepat menjadi saudara sekantor di PT. Samm Artha Indonesia. Bak koin dua sisi, mereka memiliki kepribadian yang sangat berbeda. Yang satu lebih tenang dan penyabar, sementara yang lain adalah pelawak di kantor. Tiada hari di kantor tanpa mereka berdua makan siang bersama, saling bercanda ringan, bermain gim ponsel bersama, atau sekadar duduk menikmati kopi dan sebungkus rokok. Terlepas dari perbedaan mereka, mereka telah menjadi dua sahabat yang ikatannya lebih dari sekadar rekan kerja dan seperti kakak-adik. Dalam artikel ini, kita akan melihat bagaimana persahabatan dan persaudaraan mereka semakin erat selama kunjungan mereka ke PT. Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk (PT. SMART Tbk).
In every office, there must be an inseparable duo. Here in our company, we have Anang and Lambang. Despite the 10-year age gap, these two have quickly become the office brothers of PT. Samm Artha Indonesia. Like a double sided coin, they have very different personalities. One is more calm and collected, while the other is the office clown. There is not a day at the office without both of them having lunch together, cracking lighthearted jokes at each other, playing mobile games together, or just sit down and have coffee and share a pack of cigarettes. Despite their differences, they have managed to become two friends whose bond goes beyond just being co-workers. In this article, we will take a look at how their friendship and brotherhood grew stronger during their visit to PT. Sinar Mas Agro Resources and Technology Tbk (PT. SMART Tbk).
“I would say though, after everything was done and we took the last picture for our reports, it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of our shoulders. I almost shed a celebratory tear,” Anang added. It was more or less the same for Lambang since they were both working hand in hand during the process. It was perhaps more exciting for him as he finally got the chance to test his knowledge of troubleshooting in real life. “It was quite challenging, honestly. I had to observe and identify the main problems within the conveyor system that we worked on,” he stated with excitement, ringing clearly in his voice. One thing that he learned during the visit was something that is unfortunately, often overlooked. “I finally understood the importance of Workplace Safety and Health,” he said in a more understanding tone. After working on the site, Lambang could see how important it is to always be mindful or each other’s safety and health. He made sure that he always brought a pack of face mask with him, and to never forget eating breakfast (which he often skips during his normal days at the office).
Mereka memulai perjalanan mereka ke Tarjun, Kalimantan Selatan pada 10 Juli 2025. Perjalanan ke Tarjun berjalan mulus, dan mereka sangat berharap semuanya akan berjalan semulus itu. Ternyata, tidak demikian. Selama hari-hari mereka di PT. SMART Tbk, mereka menghadapi banyak rintangan yang menguji kemampuan mereka untuk beradaptasi — karena itu adalah pengalaman langsung pertama mereka bekerja di lokasi sebesar PT. SMART Tbk, Tarjun. Bagi Anang sendiri, rintangan pertama yang ia hadapi sebagai staf administrasi di kantor kami adalah mengumpulkan tanda tangan. “Lokasinya sangat besar, dan saya harus berjalan dari satu titik ke titik lain dengan sangat cepat. Itu tampak seperti tugas yang mudah, tetapi ternyata sangat menguras tenaga,” seperti yang dijelaskan Anang dalam wawancara kami saat istirahat makan siang. Dia juga bertanggung jawab untuk memastikan bahwa setiap anggota tim di lokasi melakukan pekerjaan mereka dengan sempurna. Dia juga memastikan bahwa semua orang bangun tepat waktu, makan dengan cukup, dan menyelesaikan pekerjaan tepat waktu. “Beberapa hari pertama mulai terasa membosankan,” ujarnya. Keesokan harinya, ia bertekad untuk menjadikan pengalaman ini lebih dari sekadar berkeliling mencari tanda tangan dan persetujuan. Maka, ia pun menyingsingkan lengan baju dan mulai terjun bersama teknisi kami menyelesaikan pekerjaannya. Dalam kunjungan ini, ia memepelajari bahwa proses administrasi itu bentuknya selalu berbeda di setiap perusahaan. Visit kali ini menjadi yang paling kompleks yang pernah ia temui. “Ketika setelah semuanya selesai dan kami mengambil foto terakhir untuk laporan kami, rasanya seperti beban berat terangkat dari pundak kami.
They begin their journey to Tarjun, South Kalimantan on July 10th, 2025. The trip to Tarjun was smooth sailing, and they were very hopeful that everything was going to go just as smoothly. As it turned out, it was not the case. During their days in PT. SMART Tbk, they faced many hurdles that tested their ability to adapt — as it was their first firsthand experience to be working on a site as big as PT. SMART Tbk, Tarjun. For Anang himself, the very first hurdle that he face as an administration staff at out office was to get signatures. “The site was very big, and I had to walk from one point to another very quickly. It seemed like an easy task, but it was anything but easy,” as Anang explained on our sit-down interview during lunch break. He was also in charge of making sure that everyone in the on-site team was doing their job flawlessly. He made sure that everybody woke up on time, well-fed, and got the job done on time. “It was starting to get tedious for the first couple of days,” he said. The next day, he decided that he wanted this experience to be more than just running around for signatures and approval. So, he rolled up his sleeves and started helping our technicians to get the job done. He learned on the job that administration process is always different in every company. This one, is the most complex that he ever came across yet.
Saya hampir meneteskan air mata bahagia,” tambah Anang. Hal yang sama juga dirasakan Lambang karena mereka berdua bekerja sama selama proses tersebut. Mungkin lebih menyenangkan baginya karena ia akhirnya mendapat kesempatan untuk menguji pengetahuannya tentang pemecahan masalah secara langsung. “Sejujurnya, itu cukup menantang. Saya harus mengamati dan mengidentifikasi masalah utama dalam sistem konveyor yang kami kerjakan,” ujarnya dengan semangat penuh yang terdengar jelas pada nada bicaranya. Satu hal yang ia pelajari selama kunjungan tersebut adalah sesuatu yang sayangnya sering terabaikan. “Saya akhirnya mengerti pentingnya Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja,” ujarnya dengan nada yang lebih pengertian. Setelah bekerja di lokasi, Lambang menyadari betapa pentingnya untuk selalu memperhatikan keselamatan dan kesehatan satu sama lain. Ia memastikan untuk selalu membawa masker, dan tidak pernah lupa sarapan (yang sering ia lewatkan saat bekerja di kantor).
After tackling problems together, hustling together, their bond as the office bros grew even stronger. “We were already pretty close before we went on that visit, but now, we’re a lot closer,” Anang said gleefully. During their visit, they would always find time to share personal stories, their views on certain topics, even bonding over animes and mobile games. “We could play for hours!” said Lambang, enthusiastically. He also said that he now has a much deeper respect for Anang for not only being the oldest between the two, but also for his wisdom. “Anang always have the best advice for every problem I face, including problems at work,” Lambang added. To close the interview, they both agreed on one thing. Their close friendship came very handy because they can always communicate and help each other a long the way.
Setelah mengatasi masalah bersama, berjuang bersama, ikatan mereka sebagai kerabat kerja semakin erat. “Sebelum kunjungan itu, kami memang sudah cukup akrab, tapi sekarang, kami jauh lebih dekat,” ujar Anang riang. Selama kunjungan, mereka selalu menyempatkan diri untuk berbagi cerita pribadi, bertukar pandangan tentang topik-topik tertentu, bahkan berbagi kegemaran melalui anime dan gim seluler. “Kami bisa bermain berjam-jam!” kata Lambang antusias. Ia juga mengatakan bahwa ia kini jauh lebih menghormati Anang karena ia bukan hanya yang tertua di antara mereka, tetapi juga karena kebijaksanaannya. “Mas Anang selalu punya saran terbaik untuk setiap masalah yang saya hadapi, termasuk masalah di tempat kerja,” tambah Lambang. Sebagai penutup wawancara, mereka berdua sepakat akan satu hal. Persahabatan dekat mereka sangat bermanfaat karena hal itu lah yang menjadikan mereka selalu bisa berkomunikasi dan saling membantu dalam segala hal.
