The story goes like that-
I join this company last year in Sept for an overseas project in
Middleeast. The human resource personnel informed me that the
project will starts in Oct 2007 and I will draw a fixed allowance
of $3500. However, the basis pay was low ($1700) however I decided
to take up this job as it was a project management role and the
total pay package was good. The contract that the company gave me
was a one year contract and it is suppose to end in Sept 2008.
However, things start to take a turn in Oct. The company
informed me that the project had been delay and it was only start
till further notice. I was shocked by this news because I was not
deployed overseas, there will be no allowance. Therefore I spoke to
my supervisor whom I address as Mr.Ong and he informed me that we
have to wait as we were specially recruited for this project. I
waited till Apr 2008 and decided to surface this issue to the
management regarding a change of job as there was another project
management role in another key project in Sentosa. I spoken to the
relevant project managers of the Sentosa project and they told me
that they will take me into the project as well as Mr.Ong released
me.
I spoke to Mr.Ong and he also encourage me to cross over to the
Sentosa project as the trip to Middle East is uncertain and the
other project has better prospects. Therefore with the blessings of
Mr.Ong as well as some other managers and engineers, I crossed over
to the Sentosa project. However the nightware just begins to
surface.
The Sentosa project is a major project which involves close to
60 people in the team. The organisation chart is very complex which
consist of a Project Director, 3 deputy project directors and 6
project managers for six different sites which means as a project
executive, I am reporting to 10 managers who are seniors. While I
was in the team, I realised that I am the only project
administrator. As the work load was enormous and detail, I decided
to speak to my dept manager, Mr.Ang and requested for a
salary adjustment. He replied that the salary adjustment is not
justifiable and I will need to prove myself for at least 2 months
before any adjustments were made. Feeling rejected, I accepted the
decision and continue with my work. In the first week of June, I
received a job offer from my previous company to take up a senior
position and therefore I submitted my resignation letter at the 3rd
week of June which means my last day of service is at the 3rd week
of July. Prior to this resignation, I tendered my resignation for
at least another 2 times but was rejected by the management as they
begged me to stay. However, I made up my mind to resign this time
was because the salary was much better and the job scope is direct
and not political in nature.
On July 7, I received the most shocking news of my career. I
received a letter from this GLC company that they have terminated
my contract as on 7 July 2008 as I have not reported for work on 4
July and 5 July. They claimed that I did not inform anyone of my
whereabouts and therefore terminated my contract. They also accused
me of stealing some confidential information of the company as well
as some laptops from the company. Therefore on 8 July, I made a
report with the police regarding the accusations but till now the
police had not got back to me. I also higligted this matter to the
ministry of Home affairs and Comissioner of Police and Director
ISD as the information missing was cricual and highly senstive
in nature. Till now, only the comissioner of police had got back to
me only when I send a direct email to SM Goh to inform abt this
matter on Monday.
I had also spoken to NTUC Union to assist me in this manner and
it is still in the pipeline. The most ugly part of the thing was
that this company took my passport from my drawers and retain it
and dont want to return to me. I personally went to their office
which was located in Jurong East St 21 to take back but they
refused to return also. I called 999 to report about this matter
but the police office (SI Koh) who attended to me also did not
lodge as a report. Last week, I went to Yishun North NPC to enquire
abt this matter and was shocked to hear from the officer that there
was no report made at all against the company except for the
missing passport NP312 report that I made. This GLC company also
got the assistance of a police officer (investigation officer) from
Clementi Police Station to harass me but calling me to report at
12am at clementi police station.
For your information, I was serving in the police force as an NS
officer and still is an active ns officer. I am disppointed for
what had happened as no one else can help me, even the law
enforcers take the law into their own hand. can anyone help me?
where were U on 4 July and 5 July then?
Why U email Mr Goh and not Mr Lee, since the head of govt
is Mr Lee?
