31 March 2009

31st March. Tuesday.

The end of the month

is probably the most looked forward time of the month by all employees

knowing that your pay day is coming soon.


You become more discipline,

oh yes, finally I'm going to get paid for those days I hardworkingly turn up for work.

You wait impatiently at your workplace

as your boss distributes the pay slips to the staff,

unfortunately your one never came to you.

You ask where's yours? You are also an employee so where's yours?

"Oh, you don't have because you are still under probation," says your boss.

You looked puzzled. "Ain't I still an employee? Don't I have to contribute to the EPF and SOCSO like the others?" you wonder.

"Okay, your salaries will be banked into your account on Friday night. So all of you should be getting your salary on Monday night," you hear your boss telling everyone.

Oh well, all those questions can be answered at another time. The most important thing is my salary. I'm getting it SOON, in 5 days time. Yay!

Then your boss announce that everyone will have to become office janitors on Tuesday because the company obviously does not have a janitor. "Nevermind. Sacrifice for the company for the sake of being able to get your salary a day earlier than as stipulated in the contract.

Monday evening comes. 6:00pm. Your colleague logs into her e-banking account. "My salary is not out yet," she exclaims.

You went to the atm after that. balance status. The screen showed the original amount. No changes. Apparently your salary is not in your bank account yet.

Tuesday, a kind-hearted superior calls KL to check on the status of everybody's salary. Oh, it will only be in on Wednesday night as the cheque takes 3 working days to be cleared since it was banked into another branch.

10 minutes later. You receive a shocking news. KL loss your bank account number (that you gave them on your second day of work) so your cheque has not been banked in. The cheque will be banked in tonight. they promise. You will only be able to get yours by the end of this week, which is already 3 days into the new month, provided they keep their promise to bank in your salary tonight.

I am irritated with that company which makes their employees feel like they have to beg the honchos to pay them. I am pissed with the company that does not hold their employees in high regard.

It's 11:40PM already. In 6 and a half hours time, the alarm is going to ring, signalling another day. Another weekday. You hope it is Friday, but it’s not. It is only Wednesday. 2 more days till Friday. You feel like shit. You think of a million and one reasons to take MC but you can't because your company has delayed your salary so you cannot afford to spent RM20 for that piece of paper and some medicine. Once in office, you want time to go faster so that you can leave the office and go for lunch. You realised you may have made a mistake in life… You dream of striking 6/49 so that you could probably take a lot of drudgery
having a workaholic boss who thinks that people should put work before health and family.

sIGH.
