fuck lah, the whole object of the exercise is just to cut
spending and be able to tell those on the very top how much money
they saved.
i threw a spanner in the works once about the "money we saved"
by asking them to factor in the cost of time spent by officers
looking for the correct equipment to do the damned work... or the
officers getting fed up and not doing the work totally...
heck! they saved a pile of money outsourcing our department
drivers leaving just two.. i bet they've spent more money getting
private companies to do the work.. less efficiently.. and we have
to pay other private companies to do our deliveries on an ad hoc
basis at around $100 a pop.. when a driver doing OT (when it isn't
office hours) would set the department back about $65 (that
includes diesel costs for the van and the extra CPF paid to
the driver)
instead of letting the driver do the OT, the fellas were angry
with me and forbade the driver from doing the OT... and the driver
wants to do the OT for extra cash!
i just do not understand...
