you people must have heard of stingy bosses and employers right.. well, guess wad...? i've found the most stingy boss/employer in this whole wide world.. let me share it with you.. it happens when i started working at toast box.. initially, i thought all their lime juice is ordered from supplier, fish cake ordered from supplier, marinated chicken wings ordered from supplier, laksa, mee siam (gravy) all ordered from supplier, laksa leaves ordered from supplier. to my horror, the lime juice is squeezed by themselves as in literally from the lime, the marinated chicken wings are marinated themselves, the gravies and everything is all cooked themselves!!! i thought they are just going to heat it up and add some water, BUT NO! they cook it from scratch themselves! and the laksa leaves, they practically buy it from NTUC and pluck and chopped up themselves!!! i was thinking, okay.. perhaps you wanna cut cost.. so one fine day, i was thinking how come there's no smoking area when we have outdoor seatings.. so i went to ask my manager why is it so.. cus if we have a smoking area, our business will boost.. the answer she gave me is that to apply for the license, it's very expensive.. i was like WTF?! need to cut cost cut till like this anot.. as you people knows, wed, 1st oct was Hari Raya.. as a part-timer, it's an unwritten rule in the market that part-timers who worked on PH will be having either double pay or 1.5. but NO! i got nothing!!! it's already bad enough that i have to work on PH and not get anything in return, and yet, that day has alot of customers and i was practically shouting myself hoarse so that i can be heard.. imagine this, you're paid at $5/hr, but you're working like you're being paid $10/hr. how would you feel?! thursday, i was working, but i left early as i've already finished the things that i have to do, i'm having off on fri to sun.. but today (which is friday), the bloody manager got the cheek to call me up and ask me work at 6! i was like WTF?! nvm that you don't give me double pay, nvm that every night i work till 11 plus for you when i don't get paid, when i can jolly well leave everything and go home at 11 sharp, nvm that i'm always at your beck and call, nvm that there's a few time you ask me come at 5.30 and i started work before that and i'm not paid for it! all these are past, so NEVERMIND about it! but, if you're going to scold me today for leaving early last night, i'm going to tell you all these things and i am going to complain to the head office! NEVERMIND that i'm in a bloody foul mood these few days just cus i didn't slept well, thanks to YOU! so, before you open up that stinky mouth of yours to scold me, think again.. and FYI, the letter of appointment that i signed, didn't state that i won't be paid for the extra hours that i've put in and the PH. plus the letter of appointment also states that i will have 2 sets of uniform, but why am i with 1 miserable uniform only?! there is so many answers that i need to my questions but yet, i have no one to turn to for my questions! so, tell me, is this a stinky, stingy company? to me, it is! and i feel disgraceful to work there!14:41
