The Love of Money
My company is notorious for delaying salary increments without any official announcements. The management will never inform you that there will or will not be any salary increment. Don't ask me about bonuses, because THAT has never happened. It's a dirty word to use in my presence. You just wait. If it happens, it happens. And so, I just recently received my long overdue salary increment. Nearly 2 years already. And one would expect that with the delay, they would combine 2 increments into 1. Dream on! Any backdating you might ask? Do pigs fly? No. Are my top managers pigs? Yes! Oh well. Everyone was so pissed. Checking the amount of the credit advice on M2U, we couldn't really tell if there had been an increase. The amount must have been so small that it was smothered by the scheduled deductions. :(.
I was pissed, so I left for lunch at 12pm sharp. Picked up KT and SK for lunch at Kung Fu Pan Mee at Puchong Jaya. On our way there, my dar was beeping from a guy in front of me. He was busy holding the steering wheel with one hand, while manoeuvering bak kwa into his mouth with the other. The curl of his fingers and his dainty grip totally gave him away. And the way he wiped his mouth with his pinky... Oppps. Tried their famous Jiong Fei Pan Mee and I must say that it's nothing to shout about. I don't really like their noodles. In my opinion, it's a bit on the firm side. Their Swiss Chicken Wings are quite OK. Arriving back at the office at 2:35pm, it was just another 3 hours before I clocked off. Hehe.
UPDATE: I have since received my payslip and the overdue increment was definitely not a combined value. :(. Sigh. But anyway, THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN!
