Sorry to hijack this thread.
Hi all,
Can i check what is the market practice of how many days in
advance should i let my relief knows if I decided that I do not
want him to drive for me anymore as I seem to see a better match in
terms of timing in the database today.
Another question, last Sat morning my relief went for preventive
maintainence for about 2hrs +...so end of his shift he decided to
pay me $20 lesser and saying that comfort would reimburse me about
$10+, is this the practice?
In the end,comfort only reimbursed me $9+ which is less than
half of $20! Am I being calculating or is my relief taking
advantage of me? After all, I am only early 30s with little or
almost no taxi driving experience whereas he is mid 40s.
Some but not all, peoples become TD because of sick of the
corporate politic world, whereby you back stab me, he tell boss,
she sabo me and never ending story, some like me, simply hates to
work with stupid superiors, who point here and there only get few
thousand paid, so become a TD. And if you get a relief and
keep on having suspicious of him cheating you and that, it is the
same as working condition, then, might as well go back to work in a
corporate world where you get many perks, from bonuses to Medical
and insurance care, with many annual leaves too.
Over the years, since I came out of those daily rental taxi at
kiosk due to my financial problem, I have from there till now, only
1 hirer whom we have a very good relationship, and he is a muslim
too, during Hari Raya, my family visited him and he gives money
packet to my kids and on CNY, he visit me and I also recipocate
that as usual, his daughter marry, I also help out to drive his
taxi for free on that day. All these are so call give and take in
life, once the trust set in, we are like brother, so from those
mannual taxi to auto, he alway get me to be his relief. If
you can built such relationship and not to mingle on small issue,
you can be a good hirer that people are more than willing to be
your relief.
