elindra, you won't imagine how dirty the HR is... I've heard
accounts of them trying to get payments for stockings that were
given to an employee three months before she quit, and how they
hounded ex-employees for some crazy medical bill payments that
they're entitled to, etc etc!
Now, if you approach them for a Certification Letter stating that
you're employed by them, etc, they will insist that you tell them
WHO the letter's for! 
That's because the Ward
Sisters complain about the HR knowing before them that employees
are about to quit so they want to make it difficult for us to apply
for work elsewhere! WTF!!! I shouted at them, that it's their job
to give me certification letters and they can jolly well churn a
''To Whom It May Concern'' letter for me cause it's none of their
business what I do with my life cause I'm only working for them,
not enslaved to them! 
There are so many atrocities re. the way they treat the local and
foreign staff... little wonder that most of us are leaving, or are
contemplating leaving, or if they have no choice cause of family
commitments, they get demoralised.
To solve the drain, they make it harder for people to leave instead
of improving our work conditions so that no one wants to leave!
Thwarted, it's all thwarted!! Where did these people learn
management?!!
So, instead of motivating their workforce, they want to make it
tough for disgruntled employees to leave. So what if they stay...
do you think the low morale won't affect their job performance?
The wonders of 'lateral thinking'. They don't just 'think out of
the box'... they think on an entirely different and irrelevant
dimension altogether!
