My HR

What is HR? It is Human Resource in short. The Human Resource Manager can be a person you either like best or hate most in the working society.

Below is a list of HR which I had met in my jobs.

Year 2001-2002
1st HR Manager - A young lady with a pleasant look and always greet you with a sweet smile on her face. No unhappiness when working with her during the 1 year, after which she resigned and went off to get married. Recently, bump into her at a shopping mall, she is pregnant with the second child, first daughter already 4 yrs old liao....

Year 2002-2004
2nd HR Manager - This one is a powerful young lady. I had a great time working with her as both of us just shot one another in our work. She would just scream at me for taking too much MC and I would just shout back at her for delaying my petty cash claims & off-lieu leaves. But we are good kakis after work, great kaki for dinner, movie, stock-up shopping...hahaha...drama , right?

Year 2005
3rd HR Manager - A nice lady, mother of a boy aged 2 yrs old. And she is pregnant with her second daughter when I was working with her. In a company of more than 100 staffs, she can single handly deal with everyone problems. She is patient and never failed to listen & give sound advise to the staffs. A round of applaus for this great lady. And I am in good terms with her, when comes to company's special events or activities, I can always ask from her for easy job & prefer timings.

Year 2005
4th HR Manager - Still may be a bit too early for me to comment on her, after all, I only in my this new job for 3 weeks only. But my experiences is really very bad.
Before commencing on my new job, she had given me sar-la information about my working hours. Upon the start of working, I notice the differences and asked her about it, she just took out my employment letter and state the terms is not specify in such a way...duhz....To me, it is just a small difference, you can just tell me that you had explained it wrongly, no need to use your letter and throw at people, right???
Anyhow, later learned from my fellow colleagues that she is new to the company and yet wanna act smart type.
When you go ask her something, she will talk in an act ang moh kinda tone. BUT her voice changed into sweet-sounding when she see food!!!
Today, one of our business associate give us a big *christmas fruit cake. With 6 young ladies in the department, of course, we are unable to finish it. So, we cut it up and share it with the team of drivers. So, while one of the driver is eating the cake, this HR manager walked past and upon seeing the cake, she turned into an act-cute tone to ask where the cake from? (hinting she wants a piece too).
So, this driver replied and said, this cake was specially bought by the shared money of 2 departments. Hahahaha....she was embarassed and walked away. After she left, the whole group of us laughed our head off......

(*What is christmas fruit cake? Basically, it is a fruit cake decorated with santas claus and snowman....duhz, right? Too bad, it really is like that one)

Sick.....

I am currently the third week into my new job, and still trying to move in slowly, still got lots to learn and catch up with. Not that I am new to this industry, but still, every company has their own ways of handing matters, not a matter of right or wrong. As the sayings goes, while you are in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Just yesterday, my first day on the later shift work, still not used to the weird working timing. In the midst of working, I felt my gastric giving problems, and later progressed into sharp painful headache, then giddiness, then.....totally weak on my whole body.
I really dont know what to do, i cant even walk properly, how can I make myself home??? I gave a call to my dear dear (btw, who is dear dear? dear dear is my bf aka the guy next to me in the photo lah). He came over to my work place and send me home in a taxi. My situation got worsen when I alighted from the taxi upon reaching home, I can't even walk properly because of the bad headache & giddiness. My dear dear carried me on his back and walked me to my house.
He stay with me for a while to make sure I am ok after taking the medicines.

I dont know what will others think when read the above happenings, prehaps you may think that it is the duties of a bf? But to me, at that very moment, I just knew that this is the guy that I am going to stick with for the rest of my life. Maybe this thinking has always been in my mind since the day I am with him, but somehow just yesterday, it then had a heavy hit on my head.

(Old beng, regarding your latest post on how to win a woman's heart, I think my dear dear had won my heart with a sincere attitude in not only caring but also taking care of me.)

My Ex-colleague

Further to my below entry on my ex-colleague's resignation. Actually, I really really wanna wash my hand out of it as it is REALLY none of my business. Cos I am not close to this ex-colleague of mine. Anyhow, if you had read the comments in the below entry by '-lian', you may have some further update on the development of the situation.

Let me continue/refresh the development here once again.

So after much evaluation of her work by her boss, she has been told to work one more day, till the end of the week before letting her go off for her 'annual leave'. As there are still some outstanding work which the boss believed that it is reasonable for her to clear within a day. (unable to disclose what is the work about, but i agreed that it can be done within a day one lah)

Guess what now???
The following week, her boss found the outstanding paper work being piled under the CPU (the CPU is placed under the table), thats mean on the floor lah, CPU on the top of the pile of paper.
Hahahaha....what an idea to do such a thing. If it is me, I may as well dump it into the dustbin or bring home to burn them.

So, the boss called her up and ask her to give an answer for placing the paper work under the CPU, or come back and settle them, even while 'on leave'. Instead of answering the boss's queries, she questioned her boss about her last month salary. Duhz.....
Of course, the boss is very angry over such attitude at work and the boss must be thinking that 'you better come back and give me a good answer before you talk to me about your salary!'

Then how now??? Dont ask me, ok....how I know how???

MOE's law is that an employer required to pay up his/her employees within 7 days after the end period of the salary. (sorry, should be MOM...alamak, make me confused also)
So, let the case drag till then lor....then I should buy popcorn & coke light, sit back and see show lor, see who sue who now.....hahahaha......

MOE or MOM???

I am writing this entry due to a request from a friend (you know who you are, ok). Recently, I am very pissed off with my life due to some unreasonable & uncontrollable happenings. Dont want to talk about it, in fact, I dont even want to think about it. Anyway, below is a account of what happened to one of my ex-colleague recently.

She has been working as a clerk with this company for the past 3 years. Recently, she decided to resign and at the same time, she found another job to move on. As you may or may not know, all private corporate company practise a one-month notice period for resignation. And usually, there is a hidden regulation that you clear all your outstanding annual leaves on your last month of work.

Example:
You submit letter of resignation on the 01 Oct.
One-month notice means your last day of work is 31 Oct.
You have 7 days of annual leaves not yet taken.
Thus, 31 Oct minus 7 working days, equals 22 Oct.
Meaning, your last day of work is 22 oct.

Thus, my this ex-colleague did the same. However, due to her last month at work, her production level & morale went extremely low. At the same time, pissing off other colleagues in the company. Thus, her boss told her that if you are unable to complete all necessary work by 22 Oct, the company reserves the right to disapprove your leave and you have to work till 31 Oct. The 7 days of annual leaves will be encashed instead. (sounds peaceful & reasonable????)

NO! NO! NO!
This ex-colleague blew up a big fuss about it. Told everyone that she knows that the company is not letting her off for a better career path. And she even sms me to ask whether she can sue the company with MOE!!! (waahaahaaa...i think she meant MOM lah, must be too hot-headed when keying the sms to me)

OMG!!! can someone tell me whats the world is coming to??? i really dont know who is right and who is wrong in this case. My ex-colleague or the boss of the company??? (Personally, I am on very good terms with the boss too. She is definitely not a mean person that wanna spolit someone's future)

By the way, in such cases, can employee sue the employer under Labour law in Singapore???
Anyone that can enlighten me???

(P.S : the only thing that does not piss me off this week, is actually Harry Potter, Gorblet of Fire Movie, it is indeed an enjoyable movie, although the cinema is filled with one million kids running around....)

First Entry aka Flu Jab

After much consideration, I had decided to post my first entry here. As per my previous entry , I still have not decide where to move, so will be running between these 2 places for the moment. Sometimes, entry can be the same and sometimes can be different. I can only say that Friendster is a place where I can update on my ex-classmates and long-lost friends on my current situations, where Blogger is a place where I can be connected to the world and continue making new friends.

Finally, after attending today's meeting with my new boss, I am fully charged up and geared up towards the new challenges in my new venture. Really looking forward to it coming soon.
As part of the company's policies, I went for their medical checkup and X-ray. Everything went on well, till I was informed by the HR that I had forgotten to take the flu jab during the medical checkup. Duhz....so, no choice, went back to the clinic today to get it done again.
Actually, I have phobia about injection. Still remember during primary school days, where I had to take BCG jab, where the nurses came to the school and ask all pupils to line-up, then one by one gonna jabbed. Rememeber got once, I fainted and collapse onto the floor when lining-up. (Still, no excuses, shake me up with medicated oil and still have to take jab.....lol)

The doctor who gave me the jab today also very funny, please see the below conversation.

Doctor : Eh, your company very funny leh, had to keep chasing for everyone to come and take the jab. This one har, cannot keep too long one leh, otherwise, no good. Why you now then come?

Me : Err...cos I am a new employee, starting work next week, so the HR ask me come now. So, after so long liao, can the jab still be taken? (thinking that she may ask me to come again another time, then I can escape lor...heehee)

Doctor : Aiya, never mind lor. Better to be safe than sorry, right? Anyway, now outside also no stock liao....

Me : Orhh.....ok.....(what the F*** answer is this????)

Doctor : (took the injection kit and plunged it onto me!!!!)

Me : Ouchhh!!!!!

Doctor : Eh, you very drama hor

Me : (embarrass) Sorry....

My mind went blank after the jab. I only remember the nurses talking to me about the certificates and dont know what lah. Then, I sat at the waiting area of the clinic for a while and walked out. After a few steps away from the clinic, I start to see black clouds in front of me. (Oh no, I am going to black out soon!) Si-ka-li, I fainted in the middle of the street, then how? Luckily, manage to grab a cab on the way and quickly rushed home.

Now, my arm still pain pain leh....sobs sobs sobs (dear dear, where are you???)
