I am working in KL and I had been working in IT MNC like IxM and Hewlxtt Pxckard for number of years. I am Gen X when I join the IxM as fresh grad and I leave Hx the fresh grads were occupied by Gen Y.
.
My own personal opinion. Gen Y is generally creative than previous Gen and they tend to think of the box too. There are many fresh ideas from Gen Y which might be or might not be accepted by company. Gen Y open to speak their thought out freely and communication is better as well. However there are few things I discovered myself where there are comment weakness of Gen Y.
1. Careless - Working on the task is quick but less precise.
2. Less hardworking - Gen Y always emphasize on work life balance no matter in what situation. Thanks to Airasix always has promotion and Gen Y are more enjoy their life in travelling than working. I almost find none of the Gen Y willing to share the workload of other colleagues and they claim it was not inside their responsibility.
3. Less considerate - Gen Y commonly found as much ego compare to Gen X or earlier. They can argue and talk loud and rude to their senior or leader without considerate other's feeling.
4. Demanding - I am wondering how the fresh grad or Gen Y junior dare to ask for high salary or increment when they are yet to prove their performance to the employer. I have met few Gen Y asking for more than 8% increment where their KPI is average or below but even the better KPI worker is getting about 6%.
We are not saying to pay fresh grad at RM1500 but not as high as somewhere RM3000, have to be realistic figure for inexperience person. If fresh grad thinking to pack their bags to go SG it is up to them. There are many people went to SG earning big exchange rate to enjoy better lifestyle which is good thing. However my advice to those who ambitious may think twice before moving to SG as the corporate ladder for Msia is least when come to think there are many elite from SG, MY, China, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Korea, HK, Taiwan etc countries. Many of the management posts are held by either SG people or Caucasian. There maybe 70% of Msia end by earning average of 5-7k (at least degree holder) till their retirement age and yet still stuck at senior officer role. In SG there is very least opportunity to become entrepreneur even a small retail shop, the competition is intense and small enterprise or small player unable to survive as few big players capture the whole market.
FYI, there are many big corporate or listed companies in Msia paying more than 10k salary for manager or senior manager role. For director level the remuneration can be anything more than 20k per month excluding bonus. Beside if individual want to self-employ, there are opportunities to become entrepreneur but it subject to condition such as capital, location (much bigger than SG), products etc.
very well said. i clap for you .
