In my offer letter, the working hour states,
Monday to Friday : 8.30am till 5.00pm
Saturday : 8.30am till 1.00pm (yes, we still work half day)
Boss : Everyone please take note, there will be a roadshow in Mid Valley, I'll place this duty roaster on the notice board (yes, its notice board, not email) please check out your schedule.
Me : My duty is on Wednesday, from 4pm to 10pm, boss, does that mean that I can go straight to Mid Valley without coming in to office?
Boss : NO!! you still need to report to work at 8.30am.
Me : That means, on wednesday, i gotta work from 8.30am, till 10pm????Which is more then 12 hours.
Boss : (Nod)
Me : So boss, since i am working such a long hour, do i get any extra allowance?
Boss : NO.
Me : Then, can i choose not going to the roadshow?
Boss : NO. You MUST go.
Me : So boss, can i claim petrol, toll or parking fee?? since i am driving to Mid Valley.
Boss : NO. All on your own cost.
Me : So, that means, i'm going to work extra for the company at my own cost??
Boss : YES!!!
Well, thats the company policy.
Although the working hour stated is 8.30am to 5.00pm, whenever there is a Roadshow, which we normally are required to work much longer hour, there wouldn't be any allowance given, plus, we gotta come out our own cost to travel to the Roadshow venue. No transportation being arranged, no claims allow.
The company's KPI, to SQUEEZE the staff as many as you can.

New Tie
Have you seen the company who force the staff to buy uniform?
My company did.
Well, i'm a Sales in a local listed company.
Being a indoor sales, we are required to wear uniform. When i join, my manager told me that i need to purchase my own uniform because being a not confirmed staff, I am not entitle for free uniform. Upon my confirmation, i'll be given ONE uniform. I was speechless.
First, i am forced to purchase that uniform, i can't tell that I do not want to buy it. Second, after 6 months working, and confirmed, i only got ONE uniform, which is definitely not enough. Say after a year, which my uniform is fading, and i need a new one, YES, i must buy it. Even if you work for this company for 10 years, 20 years, they will only supply you ONE piece uniform.
Recently, the company plan to change the design of the tie for Male uniform, and YES, all male sales person gotta BUY the tie. The company is not going to give you a free tie.
I can't help laughing after seeing all the male sales taking out RM 26 to pay for the new tie, of course, very reluctant, because being a female sales, I save that RM 26.

电脑，电邮，布告板
我在一家颇为大间的车行当业务员。
进来工作后，才发现，我好像回到过去了。
因为，公司业务员，是没有电邮的。所有的文件，请用传真。所有公司里的通告，请看布告板。
但是，入乡随俗，就当是个笑话吧。
那天，我的同事韦恩要到较为远的地方去见客人，就向我借了电脑上网查地图，哦，对了，我们在公司，当然没有电脑用，我的手提电脑，是自己带去的。韦恩查了地图过后，就到行政部门，请行政部门的同事帮忙将地图打印出来，好让韦恩方便携带（我们业务部，当然没有打印机，只有行政部门有）。我也和韦恩一起到行政部去请他们帮忙。正当我们在努力的看着电脑，找寻着恰当的打印地图的时候，忽然间，行政部同事说，
“老梁来了，大家散开吧！别几个人看一架电脑，老梁不喜欢。”
我听了过后，愣了一下，老实不客气地说，
“哦，我忘记了，现在是80年代。老板，都还是80年代的思维。”
这就是这家公司的风气。80年代的文化。
所谓的老板， 就是高高在上，不应该跟下属打成一片。
所谓工作，就是工作，不能够有一丝一点的娱乐。
所以，依照80年代的风气，我们业务员的工作，是卖车；卖车，只用嘴巴，不需要用电脑。
老板们绝对没有想过，现时的世界，什么都用电脑了，就算是卖车，一些文件上的沟通，也可以用电邮，而且电邮，在某个程度上也可以构成法律的约束，就因为如此，沟通上，大家都会谨慎很多啊。最重要的是，电邮，几乎是不需要成本的！
除了对公司以外的沟通，在公司以内，用电邮来沟通，难道不会比布告板方便？
这就是我工作的公司，一家拥有日产汽车独家代理权的大公司。一家还在用布告板的上市公司。
