today my hardworking collegue finally snapped and told off the boss
Boss always throw his weight arounf. Make all of us work and work long hours don’t let is sit to rest in between even when there’s no customer.
He even wanted to confiscate his handphone just because he had to made a urgent call because his child fall sick.
i was working 11pm to 8am, then saw my hardworking collegue who came in at 7am resigned on the spot, boss made me stay back to look after the counter while he talked to hardworking collegue in office. In the end i left only at 11am.
Today he finally snapprd and told him off and resigned on tje spot. We are so proud of him but worry for him too.
Later he told us luckily his wife managed to help him to got PR and confirmed. We are so happy for him. Some boss is like that like to torment their workers because they know the workers need the job.
Expected their workers to sacrifice their own life to work solely for them to maximise their profits.
Really he told us his wife who is already PR for quite a while got a letter from her workplace that helped him with the application. Her daughter is also studying here. He is a good guy i am sure he would find something better.
Netizens’ comments
- Sounds like your typical retail workplace. I’ll be honest because I was in the same shoes… unless you upskill and find better prospects you will be stuck in this situation. If you are a student getting extra cash it’s fine but if this is your full time job then you know what you have to do.
- many bosses in reputable companies also don’t give market rate increments to the older workers (age 50++) because they have almost have 0% chance to job hop
- Besides, even if he had full citizenship, he might be able to command a higher pay, but no one in the right mind is going to hire a ex retail staff to anything else that is not fnb/retail.
