so much for bosses ... is there a good one???

this happened today...
my new office clerk, really nice girl and hardworking from malaysia, was to get her first salary (july)
my boss told her that she is to pay her own levy; only $80. she called MOM to find out and got back to him, saying that as the employer, it is his responsibility.
his exact word "ok i will pay the levy. just wait for your confirmation letter and see what your increment is ..."
lucky my project finish end of the month. definitely not extending another day.
another case is my aunt...
worked in damned company for 25 years as secretary. long time never took leave... always busy.
decided to clear leave for one month including weekends and holidays, otherwise leave will be confiscated.
boss said" if you can take leave for a month, it shows that you are redundant .... "
times are bad enough, do bosses have to make it worse ???

this is true....
in my evening class in 1998 (the start of the financial crisis), a classmate asked my lecturer "my company isnt doing well... is it ok if i leave for a better job? i have been with the company for a few years now and my boss treats me nice .. "
my lecturer didnt give an answer.
instead he asked "if the crisis got worse, will your boss still let you stay?"
morale of the story? -

Sad to say, it's not always about how 'hardworking' you are, but more of your 'market value' and whether you can be 'sacrificed'... If your aunt really has her strong worthy cause and her relationship with the boss really ain't that extreme bad... It's quite unlikely that the boss would fire her even if he claims that she's 'redundant'.. For the truth speaks for itself... If her boss does, it would only goes to prove that he's not a capable one...
I guess alot of EQ would be involved... -
many things boss do... employee don't know their rights... and get bullied
Had many bosses whol threatened to destroy my career and make sure I never get another job again. One manager had taken part of my pay and denied I tendered on the date I specified on my letter just because he did not see it.
I could have gone to MOM but didn't. Now I wished I did. cause they are still in their high ranking ass kissing positions and doing more harm to more people like you and me.
