I hate my job. I hate the fact that I have to work with an egoistic bum of a Finance Manager who has had NO experience whatsoever before. (This is his FIRST JOB.)

And a pregnant and emotional lady. Just because she's hormonal.

Just because she's as clueless as the next Jane. And just because she refuse to sack the useless FM, it's causing negativity and lack of trust in the employees on pay matters. People work for pay. And if something as basic as salary can be screwed up, the loyalty and willingness to work for the firm is diminished.

Tell me if I'm wrong. There's many points for discussion here.

My CPF deduction was not done and CPF was not credited into my account for THREE MONTHS.

Everything would have been swept under the carpet and gone undetected had I not checked my CPF account. For those who do not know, CPF is our pension fund of sorts in Singapore.

And I am damn pissed with this matter.

In other companies, such errors would have resulted in an immediate termination of service.

In this company I'm working in now, it's all swept under the carpet. No warning letters, no termination, no reprimanding.

Just a talk one on one, to ask if I COULD HAVE MY CPF DEDUCTION AND CONTRIBUTIONS DONE AND DRAGGED FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS.

WTF.

Had I reported this matter to the ministry, the company would have faced a jail term and fine.

But I chose to settle the matter privately, because I knew it was all the fault of the FM.

From then on, my willingness to work in this firm has VANQUISHED.

I'm staying, because I'm looking for a new job. And because workplace is near home, travelling is less of a hassle.

That's all.

Employees have been leaving the firm because pay has been delayed and held by the company although we are supposed to give them their due salary every month.

The firm has been very underhanded and this has caused negative sentiments amongst the staff. Doesn't help that the locals have become more and more xenophobic whilst the firm continues to hire more foreigners.

The need for foreigners in this industry is understandable, as locals don't particularly like working in the service sector.

But the unhappiness of working under a foreigner can be felt and seen very visibly in the office.

Ugh.

I've lost the drive.
