Is your workplace pro-family?

No he is not the big boss. He is ABC expat.Your boss is the REAL boss har...like the business owner?
Think most of our bosses still a company employee
He was a boss I could scream at for 10 min and then slam his door as I walked out. He did the same many times to me. Next day we always pretended like nothing had happened.
When we argued, the accounts department next door (the ladies) told me they could feel their walls tremble!
How can every yr growth be 25% in dollars? Want my team to die working for the company huh? Why our pay only 5% increment this year? Why did you cut my budget again? Why are we organising the Asia meeting again? Ask China team to do it! etc......a lot of \"important\" issues to negotiate and see who gives in first
I also helped him with his BGR problems HAHA.
Caution : Do not try it on your boss! :rotflmao: -
SarChar:
yes, horrible, isn't it
Imagine once I heard Colleague A said she would have 40 days leave next yr. She meant \"20 days leave + MC 14 days + 6 days Child Leave\" to me. Really got such people okie :yikes:
Really wonder which doctor they go to. Is it they buy a season pass or MC booklet beforehand....

And they play punk. Leave not approved, on the day that they applied for that leave, they will say they not well, got MC.

[/quote]Ya lor, she is exactly like that....takes urgent leave but turned up with MC the next day. If she wants to take MC tomorrow, you can hear her talk about feeling sick during lunch today!Joule:

Once this Colleague A even told another colleague \"If you are really sick, go to doctor A. But you know if just a little sick, got to doctor B. He is cheaper and can get 2 days MC.\" :mad:
Even after her new manager (she used to report to me) signs her leave form, she always forget to send the form up to HR. If HR lady doesnt take note, she would get a free OFF day.
We have a new colleague recently and local boss said to her \" We dont need you to break Colleague A's MC records ! \"
Colleague A's acted blur lor

they MC their business.
but they must finish their own share of work.

Nebbermind:
Mine was the HOD. He thinks I am his walking encyclopedia, dictionary, thesaurus, recepticle for all sorts of information and garbage alike. So I was always involved in discussions, meetings, etc. His wife quitted after having a kid because of workplace related stress - so they don't want me to follow her footsteps. :rotflmao:Your boss is the REAL boss har...like the business owner?

And yes, I had colleagues too, that was branded the MC queen, MC King, and there were many Challengers.... And then, some play the pregnancy card and rise through the ranks of the MC Queens. So my boss wanted to make it clear that he will tolerate me being late or leaving early if I have to - so I don't have to play the MC card. But Administration and HR cried foul because MC must be full day, punctuality, etc. My ex-boss challenged them, \"So, you would rather she utilise all her 30 days of MC and 60 days of Hospitalisation leave, is it????\" :yikes:
He is also the sort of guy that would reschedule a meeting with his boss because \"there is a PTC at school\" So when I have to take time off for my children - MC, PTC, Nursery, Fever, whatever... he will roll his eyes .... but insists that \"of course you must go!!\" :siam:
Alas... those were the better days. Since changed job and current HOD is a DINK! I report to HOD but there is this Nazi Manager. Of course, nobody is supposed to know or ask what kind of leave she is taking (not recorded in our system!); and the other staff that has a kid has a flexi-hour hubby. So, only fellow forumers here would understand my situation...

This is the ideal way but no lor, it is not happening at my end now....they MC their business.
but they must finish their own share of work.
so my MC my business if i can finish my own share of work. :evil:
those who have \"season pass\" just :siam: . Those who are around will spread the job lor. Hence I always say, this method is just going to promote more mc rate.

My theory is this.
More flexibility = less mc.
Because mc is otherwise easy to obtain and afterall, an entitlement. -

mc is quite rampant among the non exec staff where I am. For exec/mgr, our work will remain our work...go mc, come back still gotta do.My theory is this.

My company don’t have MC king or queen only Affairs king and queen. Always found this married guy having affair with that married admin gal and the FC having affair with the boy next door, blah, blah…So tired of them.
