iSalute to an iChinamen company
The management of my department in the company just came up with a
lenient regulation that we must report to office every morning by
9.30AM. Yeah… I know many of you would say that its a luxury for up
to 9.30AM. Man, we have to travel the whole Klang Valley, Seremban-PD,
Klang-K.Selangor-Tg. Karang, Rawang-Rasa……….. for surveys. Isn’t
it wiser to travel straight from home to our destination and only
after all the surveys, we head back to office in downtown KL. Getting
in and out of KL surely takes about 30 minutes (traffic dependent).
Disgruntled, I am. But do, is something what I fucking can’t.
If I have a survey in Kepong (3.5 minutes from my house), I have to
get back to office first in the morning (an hour of leg exercise on
the clutch, hand exercise on the steering wheel, gear lever and out of
the window waving the i(nternational)Salute to every other fucking
motorist and also not forgetting, the mouth and exhalation exercise,
sending greetings to every other motorists’ mothers) and only after
that I can go for surveys back in Kepong. Plain stupid, isn’t it?
So, the idea of all the shit is that the management want us to get
back to office… (only to have breakfast at the panel restaurant
before going out again?) to look like an office with staffs actually
doing work in the morning should any visitors come for meetings? When
people stayed back till 9.00/10.00PM, they never praise you or even
pay you overtime. Or is this a plot for those “regulation enforcers”
to have a reason to go off early to “snake”… inconveniencing many of
us who usually stay back in the evening. Well, times ahead are hard in
this company. Lets see what the monkeys are up to.
iXXXXX - the ‘i’ prefix stands for ‘international’.

I agree. This generally occurs everywhere. Tho it helps instil discipline, as you said, to them, coming in 15 minutes late is worst than staying back for an hour or so. This decision only weakens our sense of belonging.

Galli: Its stated in the employment contract. Working hour 0830-1730. No overtime wages be paid. So what can we do?
Lex: To some, manual transmission is a pain for KL driving. To some, manual is more flexible and safe. To some, if you’re comfortable with manual, you’ll also be comfortable with automatic. So, you do the math. Haha.
