Wah, this year the MNC company really outdo themselves sia. Got more than 3000 employees, big big office all over the world, CEO fly business class like take MRT, profits every year break record — but when come to annual dinner, wah lau, they give us… coach ticket to Kuala Lumpur.
Coach leh. Not even plane, not even Grab voucher. Coach. That kind of five-hour-plus bus ride until your backside flat one. And hor, the best part? They say it’s “a token of appreciation for our hardworking staff”. Wah, touched until want cry sia.
Imagine, you wake up 6am, squeeze onto the coach with 40 other sweaty colleagues, no leg space, the aircon either too cold or not working, and one joker behind snoring like thunder. Then reach KL just in time for dinner — in a ballroom shared with three other departments, eat cold buffet food, one chicken wing and two prawns, then kena forced to clap for the management who go up stage say “Thank you for your dedication”.
After that? No hotel stay, bro. Go back on the same coach at night. Your reward for one whole year of OT, last-minute rush, and tahan all the office nonsense? A bus ride and a lukewarm spring roll.
But cannot complain lah, they say “budget constraint”. Wah, budget constraint but still can change office carpet every year, hire motivational speaker talk cock for $20,000 one session.
So grateful leh. Really lor, next time they just give us packet nasi lemak and Zoom link say “virtual dinner”, I also won’t be surprised. MNC standard, but budget like hawker stall.
Thank you ah, company. Next year maybe can upgrade to KTM train? Got toilet onboard leh. High class.
