After so much (or too little) of praising for ING
Time for the bad news.
They Frigging delayed my Salary until Tomorrow after the Payroll Executive
Promised that they will bank in for me Today! Tuesday! 2/09/08!
WTEFF right? Where can like that one?
For a company of that status its bad image and publicity for them now.
Lets look at the chronology of events.
27/08/08- Staff Salary should be out
31/08/08-Contract Staff salary out (me)
But due to some crazy over the moon kinda procedures,
They say will hold salary till checklist is completed.
For those who don't know what checklist,
Its actually a Frigging long list of names which you have to climb
Up and down to get signatures.
(Don't ask me for what..beats me)
Never mind, since I work there I decided to give face.
However lets look at what they said.
They will "HOLD" the salary.
What does this imply?
That they should get the cheque signed first!
And HOLD it!
But noooo... the Payroll Exec won't do it.
Never mind la... I give face. So she said will bank in on Tuesday.
Means today la!
But a simple email check with her resulted with me bombarded
With the news that the stupid boss was not around.
So she can't get the cheque signed.....again...
(Oh..the main reason for the delay before this was also due to the boss having meeting)
WTEFF right?
Now they say will do it tomorrow...
I'm wondering if really tomorrow they will bank in or not.
Does this start to sound typically Malaysian to you all?
Nevermind la... I can still wait although it might interfere with my
Original plans.
But what made me mad was their procedure.
Knowing that 31st (my official resignation date effect)
August is a Sunday, and Monday would be a public holiday,
Can't the stupid boss (whoever that is) take 1 minutes or less
To sign the stupid cheque on Thursday? (btw, I've tendered my resignation on Monday 25th)
They have ample time to sign it, its not like i wanna run away with their computers
or anything.. Please la -_- even my lauya laptop can run faster than your CPU -_-
Are they really that busy ah?
What are they governing a country?
Geeze...
Alot of you might say, you are but a lowly contract staff.
What bargaining powers to do you have?
hahaa simple answer.
Being a lowly contract staff and havin signed the necessary documents,
Officially makes me their worker and thus giving me rights..
I DO have the right to bring this matter to the Tribunal Court in Malaysia
It is stated that a Wage should be paid full in a month
http://www.lawyerment.com.my/library/doc/empl/hr/1000000-7.shtmlNo more no less. (unless bonuses or some reward)
In a month mind you.
And so here we are,
I've completed their checklist and eager to grab my salary today
So I can go shopping on Thursday.
But oh well.. when shit hits the fan, shit flies -_-
And here we have ING, a global conglomerate..
Doesn't reflect well does it?
Among others, un-reviewed Salary for Contractual Staffs
Since the last 10 or so years.
How can contractual workers survive in view of current inflation
as well as price hikes?
But other than that, they treat their full timers fairly well.
Then all the contract staff die lor? What about those, like me
who just need to work 3 months?
(btw, they are really short of hands right now so contractual workers
like myself are really important hehe bangga sial)
But really, I've received an e-mail from my former supervisor,
she said that she is drowning in her work without my help (seriously)
What I am trying to say is, Contractual workers ARE as IMPORTANT
as Full time workers. Basically the company can't afford to hire
everybody as an Admin Support or Supervisor can they?
Anyhow, We shall see if they really will bank in my salary tomorrow or not
Really dissapointed at their procedures and rednecks.
I'm not hoping big since they might bank in the cheque
and thus will cause another delay of maybe 2 days.
No shopping till Friday I guess )=
Things they should do
1) review salaries (Taylor's Economic Man Theory)
2) break down structures that causes rednecks and dissatisfaction amongst workers
not much huh? could be done easily
Meanwhile... Cross your fingers and hope that they will bank in tomorrow
And that the stupid boss wont end up skinny dipping somewhere
Causing another stupid delay for me.
If I ever find out who that boss is, I'll give her a piece of my mind.
Don't mess with a future lawyer -_-
p/s- If only I wrote like that for my Business Studies A levels exams -_-
pp/s- updated look at when people are getting paid internationally!
Since ING is global, I'm measuring them on the same yardstick
