In this age, no money no talk, yes money is important to me, isnt that same to you ?

OK be honest, before you ask for higher increment/salary, ask yourself, how much money you have earned for your company ? 10k per month ? and your company still dont want to let u have 1k ? then leave the company. If you only earn 2k for the company, do u expect u can get 1k back after tax, EPF, socso, claims, company maintenance ??

I m a programmer, last time i work like a dog, still salary is low, but compare to right now, my salary is much higher and I only spend 2-3 hours truely working daily. That does not means I earn lesser for my company, I just be more efficient, smart, lazy. Working long hours does not means anything if the end result is almost nothing. You always has to learn from mistake or think how to work smart, work less, work lazy, if first time you spend 5 hours solving a problem, you have to make sure the next time if encounter the same thing, it wont take more than 1 hour, dont do the same thing, take short-cut, dont just satisfy cause you manage to done something in 1 hour which suppose to be done in 5 hours, make it 5 mins next time, improvement is always good thing. If you does not want to improve your skill, your ability, it will be same to your salary, years of experience is nothing if you does not learn and improve.
