QUOTE(delite @ Feb 11 2010, 05:34 PM) Hye LYN forummers, wow I just googled the company's name and this is the 1st thing I stumbled upon o.O I'm quite surprised by how much scams there is out there. Now this is my story, do please help me identify whether this is possibly fraud or not, seeing there isn;t any clear answer from all the thread I've read so far about this company. Thx! Yesterday I called to enquire about the vacancies (as advertised in The Star) for their management or graduate trainee position. (in quite a desperate search for a job) salary was within range too. Asked for Lenny Laura as seen on paper but someone else entertained instead. She said the vacancies was still available and to attend the interview the next morning at Plaza Permata. I asked for the company name but they didn't really replied to my answer, and instead, they asked to attend the interview the next morning. Okay so I was suspicious but I decided to give a try anyway. So I've attended the interview this morning and I just come across their company name (Infinity Rank Sdn. Bhd.) During the interview with Ms Yati, she explained that the company deals as a middle people to advertised products from other company. Currently they are expanding the bsns to 25 other branches (i was a bit taken aback here, coz I've never really heard of the company name before). They even had Jusco and other reputable company's award certificate in that room. She explained further that there are 3 stages for the graduate trainee position. 1st is to go venture into the marketing section (meaning to go to events and stuff) for the 1st 2 months. Later train in the HR and the last, into administration sector for the 1st how many months I'm not too clear. But anyhow, they will process the application 1st before asking you to come for a second interview. They called me the same evening asking whether I am still interested in the position. I said yes, and she later asked me to report 8.45 in the morning tomorrow, wear formal attires and bring a pen and a notebook. she reminded me that it would be a full day smth tomorrow (not so sure here coz the line was bad.) but basically i have to leave my day free for the company i guess. Now at this point of time, i wanted to know more of the company, so i googled about it and stumbled upon to this forum. What's do you guys think? hey fren! i think tis company wanna tipu u to do direct sales,cos i been to a company with this kinda modus operandi! end up,i cabut during the 1st day! |

QUOTE(babe_yy @ Feb 22 2010, 11:16 PM) Puchong Jaya A*r C*ol Tinting Shop Anyone who consider working there gotta think twice!! Many of the ex-workers failed to get their unpaid salary after they tender their resignation. Even if they did paid, it would be at a much later date n they will pay u in a lesser amount. 1 of the popular reason they refuse to pay: The workers join another tinting company which give them a better offer! Even if the workers went all the way to file a complaint at labour office, they just dun give a damn.. They would use every possible excuses to withhold the salary n even lie to the labour officer to make the ex-workers suffer. Worst company, worst employer ever!!! Brings back memories of working with IMS (Inter-Exhibitions Management & Services Sdn Bhd) of PJ. Those planning to apply this company please be wary! In addition to happenings not unlike the scenario above workers are generally not given any job offer letter. Forget about getting salary slips, EPF benefits and so on. Don't let the website fool you, life in this sweatshop of a company can be far from pleasant most of the time. This post has been edited by starandstripes: Mar 8 2010, 10:01 PM |

Just want to ask whether can file constructive dismissal on a case like this;
Work as sales, marketing & product trainer (under sales department) in this company for 3 years+ First 1-2 year performance is good with constant credit from the MD & GM as well as overseas affiliates' colleagues. However 3rd year performance dropped due to personal/breakups/family/health problem coupled with somehow frequent medical/emergency leaves (all within the limit). Then the company start its ploy; 1) Company has no focus job scope for the person; such as suddenly asked to do product trainer+marketing then suddenly asked to do general sales & commissioning. 2) Also the superior practice micro management on the person & asked for overly detailed weekly reports & figures. 3) Also simply give a warning letter (after the customer complaint) just because service department does not attend to a particular customer under the person's sales territory, despite the person already give 2 reminders to the service department. Also on a few cases, projects/customers given to the person handle was suddenly taken back, just because of a single mistake (which also caused by another colleague too). Hence making the person unable to achieve reasonable target for that 3rd year (hence the performance). 4) Superior also scaring the person with planning of changing his job scope again to indoor sales support (something like being demoted). In addition, the performance bonus reviewed by the superior dropped to a measly 0.2 months or something like that. Previously on 1st & 2nd year, the person got at least 3-4 months bonus. 5) Superior refused to approve claims submitted on the last day of submission by requested by accounts. The claim is total for almost 9-12 months. Cause of this last minute submission due to the superior impose rules of detailed reports must tally with the claims, hence causing the person to submit on last day. However, despite accounts department postponed the submission date, superior still don't sign & passed to HR to handle. The claims amounted to almost RM 10k. HR also delayed the case for months & never sign as well. The person also in debt to credit cards due to overly subsidizing the company. 6) When the person threathen to resign (as he cannot absorb or stand anymore), the HR & accounts head (while the superior now don't care & play cold war) offer to pay back only 50% of the claims. Somehow the person accepted due to urgently need the money. The HR & account also force the person to sign an agreement that he will not take the case to sue regarding the claim. 7) At last the person resigned & only got back 50% of the claims as well as his last month salary (with the offset of annual leaves left, he choose for earlier last day) Anyhow, the person already resigned for some time now. So he probably can't file anything against the company, but just want to ask whether he got a chance back then. Please share. |

Talking about Appco... I just found out that Support Direct (The company helping Unicef to raise funds) is under Appco....
How to trust that the money will get to Unicef 100% if it goes through Appco... it having such bad reputation in the market? |
