Well, its certainly a different kind of working environment and culture. But speaking for my own division, even that is changing.
And no, its no longer an iron rice bowl. Well, now its errmm..paper mache? New officers are on contract basis subject to renewal now.

OK, to be fair, not all the high flyers are like that. There are some I've worked for that I respect a lot.

in the civil service, there are people who are paid too much to do too little.
and there are more people who are paid too little to do too much.

my place, if she tries that, we'd complain to the supervisor for sure!
the sucky thing about the cleaners at my office being let go is that they had 1 day's notice that they are given 2 weeks' notice.. so all of them are not working anymore tomorrow..
i don't know what the idiots in Logistics are going to do about cleaning the building until Feb..
maybe its a good time to sign on..

Originally posted by kopiosatu:hmmmm i wonder why we never bothered to complain...
I ever tekaned the supervisor before for ordering the cleaners to clean all the toilets on all the floors at the same fooking time. No common sense.

isn't it interesting how they always start cutting from the bottom, the very people whose pay is so low cutting it will be an act of cruelty?
