This is guarantee to improve the economy and push Singapore into
the new millennium. These rules will first be implemented in the
Civil Service on 1st of Jan 2000 and will be encouraged in the
private sector. NTUC union workers greatly welcome these changes as
it will help more Singaporeans to achieved the new 7 Cs. WORK
RULES
1. SICKNESS: No excuses will be acceptable. We will no longer
accept your doctor's statement as proof of illness, as we believe
that if you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to
work.
2. LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR AN OPERATION: We are no longer allowing
this practice. We wish to discourage any thoughts that you may not
need all of whatever you have, and you should not consider having
anything removed. We hired you as you are, and to have anything
removed certainly makes you less than we bargained for.
3. DEATH, OTHER THAN YOUR OWN: This is no excuse. If you can
arrange for funeral services to be held late in the afternoon,
however, we can let you off an hour early, provided all your work
is up to date.
4. DEATH, YOUR OWN: This will be accepted as an excuse, but we
would like at least two weeks notice, as we feel it is your duty to
teach someone else your job.
5. PERSONAL HYGIENE: Entirely too much time is being spent in the
washrooms. In the future, you will follow the practice of going in
alphabetical order, for instance, those with surnames beginning
with 'A' will be allowed to go from 9:00-9:05, and so on. If you
are unable to go at your appointed time, it will be necessary to
wait until the next day when your time comes around again.
6. QUANTITY OF WORK: No matter how much you do, you'll never do
enough.
7. QUALITY OF WORK: The minimum acceptable level is
perfection.
8. ADVICE FROM OWNER: Eat a live toad the first thing in the
morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the
day.
9. THE BOSS IS ALWAYS RIGHT.
10. WHEN THE BOSS IS WRONG, REFER TO RULE 9.
Rule 9 & 10 are classical rules that will never change but we
are glad now we have officially put it down in writing.
