It's 2009 and I still get to keep my job

I am sure you guys have heard of the closures by Intel and even Western Digital. Times are bad and I believe we're in a recession and our economy is depressed. During CNY, I can see lesser people spending money and eating in more. It might not be cheaper but you would have economy of scale.

The politicans should come and live on our levels and don't expect us to change our lifestyles. They should indeed change. No shit sherlock.

You are now either not working, being asked to take long leave, work only a few days a week so that corporations could save money.It's now the employer's market. And those of you still with jobs, learn to appreciate the fact that you still have a job.

Recently, I was given a 3% increment and less than 2 months bonus.. Hell, it's so freaking low that you think you'd threaten your boss by resigning. Better not do it. You might not even get a job. It's time like this you should help your company to pull this year through.

I take a different perspective. 3% is still increment and still goes into your EPF and my employer contributes 15% and myself contribute 11%. That's 26 freaking % okay. Think long term people.

Anyway, have fun this year peeps.

JustinKC :
Hmm are you in the manufacturing sector? No Bonus is ok but no salary? That's really pushing it.

Forgot to mention my company gave each staff around RM 300 as ang pow too.
