if it's a course that i really wana take..

i dun mind wor.

but too bad, im not so lucky.

Gordonator SG

going for courses can be dangerous, even more so if there is a bond involved. sometimes the boss expect u to know everything after coming back from course and will throw all the jobs to u.

most bosses' mentality is that they spent so much money to train u, they expect u to know everything. if don't know how to do then...

but then.. i have to pay for the course myself wor..

and it's not cheap..

and i duno whether i wana stay in this line..

I think the course everyone should go for is TaiChi. Mastering Taichi ensures that everyone survives in a company.

Yi3 Ying1 Ji4 Yang2, Yi3 Yang2 Hua4 Ying1.

After mastering the concepts of the flow of the 'Qi', more advance course includes the Taichi Sword and Staff and handling of other weaponry. Superior levels of weaponmastery is the execution of every weapon strike in the form or 'Qi' which is more applicable in a lawful society as Singapore where the display and brazen use of weapon brandishment is shun by the law.

Thus the basics of 'Qi' ensures survival while the advance weapon 'Qi' ensures you shoot your colleagues sure and true.

play tai chi also must go for course
can learn on the job liao..

we dun need to sign bond if go for courses..
coz mostly is those short courses...

ispyyy SG

learn more... do more...
learn less... do less...
siao... I go for the course to contribute the company and still must have liability...
anyway, in accountancy, training course for new products is not an expense...

Gordonator SG

if the boss offered u to go for a course but need to sign a bond but u rejected him, this might lead to the boss thinking whether or not u are sincere in working for the company. be careful.

browniebaobao SG

yalor.. v trickly..

i can foresee wat will happen tmr...

gao de, pray for me~

ispyyy SG

not really lor...
it depends on the boss lor...
But I have to let the boss understand tat it is unfair to his subordinates... End of the day, we work for boss... In return, boss should take care of us... knn.. if he offer this type of shlt to me, of coz I need to reason with him lah...
Have to be pratical wat... and reach to a win win situation... If he really die die want to sign bond, then increase my pay after course lah...

If it's something concrete which I see can put on resume, maybe I will go for it. Laughing
