After tax still earn more plus they definitely know ways around taxation so you don't have to worry about that. The issue is why should they let you (the normal ppl) cut that earnings? Why would a company do that to thier top ppl earners? That's what i asking. Why would a company cut 1% from thier top earners to give to the bottom earners and discourage them (top earners) to make more money for the company? If i am the boss i rather fire the bottom ppl to keep the top earners (if they really perform very good for the company). If the issue is nett zero changes to business operation, then it makes more sense to fire bottom.. say 10% and tell the rest of the company to work harder. Not cut top 1% top earners and keep lazy bums down there happy. Isn't it? I would cut bonus if i have to and only give those deserving a better bonus. Kwsp is a must but bonus is optional isn't it? Increment is also optional. So rather than making top 1% earners unhappy, i rather reduce bonus and increment of bottom earners to make it net zero. Not happy? Work harder or leave lo. Why cut top earners money? Make zero sense..
yeah.. i agree.. life is not fair.. paying 28% income tax coz they can.. Paying 1k road tax coz they can afford. But cutting salary coz you wanna please bottom earners? That's stupid as i explained above. I rather fire bottom earners and keep employees that contribute more and encourage them to make me more money then piss off top earners who actually perform better. Some stuff in life is not fair. There is nothing we can do to change it. But that doesn't mean i should do the same with things i am in charge of. This reduction in salary of top earners makes zero sense. π I just rambling but it doesn't make sense... -.-"
we all know company will not cut salary from top performers to give to low performers... this argument is moot...
we also know cannot fire every low performer... for you to be number 1, others must be number 2 and so on... the low performer in most cases are just as hardworking, but only meeting expectations and sometimes below... it is because of them that you can rise above to number 1... you "owe" your success to them to a degree... because if everyone is number 1... nobody is...
do you know company's epf contribution is already a tiered system?... 13% for those earning below 5k, 12% for those above, and 6% if you are over 60... i'm just saying gov can adjust this to meet pmx intention... add a 20% 15% below 3k, and 11% above 20k or 30k for net zero balancing... imho this is ok... more top up money when retirement is uncertain due to low pay, and less money once career shoots off and retirement is safe... yes this is taking money from the successful, but at least i know it is going to the low pay ppl... vs the epf dividend tiering that is beyond stupid...
but how to distinguish the hardworking low pay ppl from the lazy... some ppl are just born really really stupid or unlucky... if needed to work over 60 to survive, cutting epf to 6% is also really not fair... main problem now is we are getting a lot more the lazy semi-stupid tongkat ppl... anyways...
