You wanna know the best part kopio?

My SO's department is what they called the QAT (Quick Action Team)
They are like the ER and they generate the most revenue for the company and they are paid the least Evil or Very Mad

This is how evil SIA management is

av98m SG

Ah....like doing all the sai kang for ndp. Laughing

av98m SG

1 weekend off every 1.5mths.............damn no life Confused

For that kind of schedule people should be paid very well Mad

kopiosatu SG

ohhhh my uncle was from there. he proudly declares that his team holds the record for fastest 747 engine change.

but now he's in another project la, get to go to china and USA...

well at least SIA technicians and engineers are technicians and engineers.

we have something called secondary appointment and everytime management picks on the secondary appointment to determine if we're working.

no one looks at the primary job.

kopiosatu SG

yeah but that's sai kang.

this is a job, if not a career for the siao on ones.

how can u pay peanuts for a professional job???????

and all that "for the country..." bull they come up with.

elindra SG

We are suffering from a 1k income loss.....good my ass Mad

Good for your uncle la
Anyway now their team is playing games with management
Also dunno what will come out of it

reminds me of my sister's past company...

it was hilarious because i talked to the people in there.. her section was making the decisions which had to be made (must be my sister coz she's very fierce at work) and not interested in nonsense like office politics, political correctness and all that..

her staff went back when it is time to knock off, no OT (not like they will be paid anyway) but the job was done and done quickly...

her division boss must have felt threatened because the dude kept putting obstacles in that section's way... until the big boss from abroad was puzzled and came to singapore to have a looksee.. and the brown smelly stuff hit the fan Razz

sadly, due to the politicking, the whole division was finally shut down!

the last person to go was my sister because the big boss didn't trust anyone to wind up the whole thing.. when i went to help my sister pack up her stuff, her whole division, only 2 people left! my sister and this tech dude who was going to seal up the loose ends...

when my sister left the place, you could see the relief in her face...

sadly, if you can do your job well, you become one of the indispensibles.. which means you can never ever be promoted.. the useless get promoted...

sad but true..

av98m SG

Very hollow sounding coming from the people who will become corrupt if you don't pay them humongous salaries, bonuses and pensions Laughing

kopiosatu SG

the closest thing we can do to a mutiny is for all to take mc. Laughing

anyway our management just got screwed big time by higher ups.

seems like there's no change even after their butts have been plastered.

kopiosatu SG

eh, like my shift ic.

he's the pillar.

if he goes, everything WILL crumble.

in fact he's even given up with management and start to bo chup them already.
the management getting chromed was just the cracks surfacing.

kopiosatu SG

Laughing

they still think they had a career.

to me its more like they didn't live life to the fullest.

maybe SIA should be part of NS to save costs Twisted Evil

the Bear SG

hey... that's like where i am!

you are good at your core duties, no one cares.. they will pick on your nonsensical stuff like the number of WITs projects, the number of SSS or whatever...

and those who never do their job and others end up pulling their load, are usually the ones with lots of those useless WITs and SSS.. and those who went for plastic surgery to attach a sucker in the place of their mouths... they get praised and promoted!

i asked this before and probably i ended up being "condemned" (i am according to a lot of people) "what is the point of all these useless things? until we get our core duties done, these are all pointless"

a lot of high ranking people who got up there because of these "pointless work" were very angry.. but they could not dispute that..

Laughing

av98m SG

My place is exactly like that. More attention is paid to the "value added" stuff than primary duties. People are recognised more for their commitee work, WITS, ESSS, and other extra duties. Anybody who only does his primary job scope is doomed.

kopiosatu SG

my colleague "stirred" the issue before.

he told management "why keep telling us to do secondary appointment when we're free? we can't even settle the primary job!!"

another one said "i'm not paid to do secondary jobs, i'm paid to do primary" Laughing

its like they tell us we should use our free time for this and that, then at the end of the day u are spent from running around the whole day, u don't even THINK about the stupid secondary job.

easy for management to say this and that la... its always the case, they just SAY. if they want it done, they should go around and help the guys do it.

we do the primary job to keep u out of trouble, u help cover our secondary job.

kopiosatu SG

because they EXPECT you to be proficient in your primary job.

if u can do EXTRA its good.

like i said, they don't even realise how primary jobs take up most of your time. that's why its a BLOODY PRIMARY JOB!!!!

the Bear SG

guys, want to get together one day and write a management book?

this time, based on reality?

if it takes off and people start to buy the thing, we can go on the lecture circuit, charge the management idiots $800 a day to listen to us tell them that they are idiots?

Laughing

the Bear SG

argh!

double post!

anyway, i gotta go lie down.. have a good lunch guys Wink
