Also, over a 100 headcount, fire 5 people every month (rotating door)? Is that a "Chinaman company"?

Regular Senior Member 1,060 posts Joined: Feb 2010	On the other hand, observe how these "Chinaman Company" hire staff: They are looking for people who: 1. have obligations e.g. student loans, married, mortgage or car loan 2. pay rent 3. live far away (so it's hard to justify going back at office hours = free work for the boss) 4. can't find another job easily (that's why these bosses seem to know each other: so that they can create a cartel and punish staff who want to leave) 5. if they pay rent, they live in a room with just a bed so there's little incentive to go home if all you do is sleep there.

Regular Senior Member 1,060 posts Joined: Feb 2010	QUOTE(skylinelover @ May 6 2014, 01:41 PM) Haha. Malaysia ke arah foreign workers like indon/nepal soon. Dang. 90% of my school mates fled over Australia and other western countries. I tried not 2 think that's true but as time goes by, it's the reality. I won't blame them 4 doing so anyway. They are richer than all the average earners in malaysia already after 1 year work there. Yikes. LOL it's quite difficult to work in Australia NOW unless you studied there AND get a company to sponsor you using the education you gained at University. Many people from Malaysia are now in Australia, being UNDER-employed. As someone else has said, if you earn RM5k/month or under in Malaysia, go to Australia (if they'll have you) if you earn over RM10k/month in Malaysia, you will get a junior role in Australia (and maybe even be stuck there 4 life). The harvest for Chinaman companies, is continuing in earnest.

Regular Senior Member 1,060 posts Joined: Feb 2010	I think it's worth to mention that Industrial Relations have thrown out more than 10,000 requests for assistance by employees. Chinaman companies are definitely both increasing and bold in how they treat staff badly. And if you don't have connections or a supportive family, you WILL be hit. It's just a matter of time for people enjoying their high salary. If they can't migrate, they better kiss ass in Malaysia QUOTE(Dern @ May 28 2017, 08:42 AM) don't think it's scared, it's not worth to mention....having said that, doesn't mean people don't know at the back, do get it straight that chinaman companies is referring to local Malaysian Chinese style of managing, not china people style of managing....there's a world of big difference there.

StarStarStarStarStar Former Employee - Anonymous Employee in Klang (Malaysia) Doesn't Recommend Negative Outlook CEO I worked at Top Glove full-time (More than 3 years) Pros There is a big pool of Gen Y employees and therefore you get to make friends. The starting pay is on par with industry standard. Cons When you step into the office, there is already a negative vibe which can be felt immediately as a result of negative and primitive culture in this company and employees are unhappy. At work, you are not allowed to talk or take breaks and are expected to work like a robot as you are monitored by CCTV at every corner and fingerprint scanning system.

No matter if you agree of disagree or how wrong the management can be, just say yes and praise their opinions in a very loud manner, that way you are guaranteed good prospects and career opportunities. The management is utterly unprofessional, they practice excessive skimping all over the organisation, endless lies and are very reactive to market conditions instead of proactive planning and managing and therefore they have no direction and constantly confuse staff. This excessive skimping practice has created endless issues for staff and customers. They would also throw insulting comments like "you are rubbish people" or "stupid". Do not expect appreciation from working hard, they will take it for granted and they do not invest in their people (training and opportunities). However, should you make mistakes, do expect all types of punishments without justification. Employees are all extremely demotivated and turnover rate is extremely high! The management is aware of this but they remain arrogant as they believe staffs can be replaced. Lastly, do expect heavy workload, a lot of red tapes and unrelated jobs.

You have to do a lot of task that does not include in your KPI - Increment and bonus not depend on your KPI - Revise the salary for fresh graduate, at the same time the salary of current staff with 2-3 years experience not revise as well. End up the new staff will get higher salary then the experience staff - High turnover rate.

Study Tan Sri philosophy Cons Safety hazard (must really watch out otherwise you might get into accident), lack of better PPE, company provided surgical mask which is probably inefficient against daily chemical exposure (especially chlorine), not allowed to work for competitors for 2 years after resigning which means all your technical experience in the glove industry is not transferable and you have to start from scratch in another industry if you want to change job. Very tough and hot environment so expect a lot of sweating. Very stingy company, staff is only limited to 2 cups of coffee machine drinks. Always looking for the cheapest deals from supplier without considering quality. Cheapest equipment from supplier doesn't mean it will continue to perform well in the future. Have to write daily working report after 6pm and going back on time is not encouraged. After writing daily report, then there is weekly and monthly report too. But seriously what's the point of staying back late to please your manager if most of you going to quit within a year? The turnover rate for staff is super high.

Very fast moving environment. Cons high turnover rate. average salary range but extra extra work. Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Copy Link Flag as InappropriateFlag as Inappropriate Helpful Mar 23, 2016 Helpful (17) "R&D Engineer/HQ Engineer" StarStarStarStarStar Former Employee - R&D Engineer/HQ Engineer in Meru (Malaysia) Doesn't Recommend Neutral Outlook CEO I worked at Top Glove full-time (Less than a year) Pros The only decent place to work in Top Glove for engineers is F9 in HQ Engineering, even then there are better MNCs to work in and start a career. I worked at one of the factories before transferring to F9 and the management of the factory is essentially unprofessional. The only other pro is you get free gym membership at Top Glove Tower. Cons It's a Chinaman company with a Chinese sweatshop culture... basically the boss is obsessed with cutting costs at the expense of employees. There's no OT pay and they expect you to OT until 6 or 7 something even though your working hours are until 5.30. Other manufacturing companies in Malaysia may have the same practice, but still it's ridiculous. Plus, they don't fire people, so most of the time you have to work with incompetent people who are just there to draw a monthly salary and won't do anything. When you send an email in proper English, some staff would reply in broken Malay...(vexing experience) In addition, people would converse mainly in Mandarin or Malay not English, unlike proper and top MNCs.The management at most of the factories is typically unprofessional as well. The manager and assistant manager at F21 whom I worked with were promoted not because of ability, but simply because they stayed there long enough while other good employees leave for better companies... the turnover rate is exceptionally high. To top it off, the upper management will come up with ridiculous things like asking new employees to memorise the corporate values, business direction, quality policies etc under the guise of promoting a quality mindset (funny they keep insisting on quality products but are not willing to invest in quality equipment and employees); asking people to brush their teeth 3 times a day (you get a dental kit so you could brush your teeth after lunch;really, whether or not I brush my teeth 3 times daily is none of their business); and cutting your pay if your BMI is over the standard (not that I'm overweight, but this practice is simply discriminatory). And I suspect the management is overly obsessed with employees' BMI and oral hygiene just to keep insurance premiums low, not because they are genuinely concerned with employees' welfare (most of their actions indicate they are not). Show Less Advice to Management Stop saying you are one of the top companies in Malaysia. Yes, you are in the top 5% in Malaysia based on market cap. Yes, you have factories in Thailand and China. But no, you don't qualify to be an MNC. Your management practices and your talent pool are simply not professional...Top Glove is simply an oversized Chinaman company, not an MNC. If you want to be an MNC, please change your hiring policies and the management. Go learn from how real MNCs like Shell or Petronas or KPMG run their businesses.

Cons Their biggest stumbling rock is being greedy. They try to mix oil with water & hoping to get gold. Old generation is like oil while new generation is like water. Cons: aggresive politics, less knowledge of technology, not able to turn resources into advantages, high turnover rate, weak planning, poor management, astray from system & direction, lack of people with leadership, increasing lazy people, decreasing contributing people, a lot of wastages, no room for career advancement.

There wont be a lot of workloads from seniors. You can decide your own research. Founded in 1998, the majority of the staff is beginners. Cons I wish I have found these comments at this website before. You will never see such low-quality students in your life!!!! This campus has extremely terrible reputation. Even local companies dislike the graduates from this campus. This is because as long as you have money, you can enroll in this campus. The quality of the students is therefore very very poor. Cheating, faking results, and plagiarism among students frequently occur, possibly owing to irresponsibility, delinquency, and lazy attitude. Overall, this campus is full of spoiled kids, not only from local students but also from the third world Heavy teaching load!!! If your teaching unit has 200 students, then you will have about 10 labs + 10 tutorials + 1 lecture. Each one is two hours.

Cons - Any problem/request outside of the norm will either be rejected/be made to sit on a desk for a long time/label you as a trouble-maker - Hierarchical - Little Napoleons in lower management that cripples the system by treating staff poorly/disrespectfully; the same ones who reserve their best behaviour for those above them to gain favour. Very high turnover rate in affected departments. - Some departments have stopped doing their job and gotten away with it, and complains when asked to do their job. - Little or no cooperation/integration between departments and schools. - Hostility between different factions at times - Over-administrationShow Less Advice to Management The uni may not be publicly-funded, but it would do well to ensure that the workload of academic staff remain academic, and not administrative. Lecturers are observed to barely have time to invest in any research due to the unreal expectations placed over them with regards to teaching and administration. I believe the schools need to expand, invest in, and show appreciation to their staff right down to the lowest levels to raise morale. Currently, one will have a hard time identifying any staff who will willingly speak well of the campus and management in private. On official fronts, however, Asian culture combined with the (sometimes unethically..) watchful eyes of their immediate superiors, prevail, and the management would be painted in brilliant colours of effervescent success.

Cons Steady decline of student enrolment Toxic Culture Poor inter-department interaction Abysmal incentives for staff development Advice to Management This institution is not worth of the Monash brand. Talent that can find better opportunities elsewhere will not stay. Most of the problems are due to three departments that are very poorly managed: Facilities - Power outages, poor internet connection, lack of response to requests for furniture replacements or repairs. Don't be fooled by the new coat of paint.That and custodian services are sub-contracted which is probably why those aspects are decent. Finance: Does not know how to communicate budget status effectively. Most research groups have to do redundant work tracking and allocating their spending for the finance department. Research Fellows that manage to bring in revenue are hounded to provide transaction slips as proof so that their accounts are cleared to spend those amounts. Human Resources: Always confused by their own forms to be filled and will push back when a harassment complaint is brought up. Any excuse to avoid doing work.

No Pros, other than the fact that you can put "Monash University" on your CV while looking for a better job elsewhere. I like my immediate department, but I have heard the horror stories of how other departments are managed. Cons The administration is a nightmare to deal with – especially HR, which holds a lot of mismanaged power over employees. Faculty haven't been paid on time, benefits are delayed, reimbursement and compensation for professional expenses are a constant battle with faculty administration and HR. When I arrived, the administration didn't even know I was coming (even though I signed the contract many months ago). It took weeks to get an email address, access to moodle, keys to my office, a computer for my office, etc. And, again, every little thing that should be a given for a new employee is a self-advocating battle you have fight with admin. The morale of the faculty here I could only best describe as "toxic." All of my colleagues seem to have complaint after complaint and most are constantly on the hunt for a new job, which is definitely telling. The placement of the university's campus is incredibly inconvenient, and don't believe the university website when it tells you that it has "easy access" to KL. It doesn't. Not at all. On average, it takes about 2 hours to get to KLCC via public transportation. It's a campus in the middle of nowhere. There have been numerous safety concerns on and off campus, and many students have reported sexual harassment, assault, and theft. The security on campus is pretty inept, and don't expect the local police to do anything to help. The salary is quite low for expats with good qualifications, and only allows for a lower middle class existence at best in KL. lack of transparency and bad management It's difficult to gain an upgrade. Employees on the same Level job do vastly different amounts of work, and hard work is no recognized. There is virtually no time and resources to do research, even though publications are the expectation.Show Less Advice to Management Listen seriously to the concerns of students, staff, and faculty. There is a great deal of mistrust leveled at management because employees and students do not see any improvements being made. Something has to be down about the Monash University partnership. They are trying to run a australian university like a Malaysian company and there are all sorts of procedural and culture clashes that prevent effectiveness and efficiency. There needs to be a procedure in place for new employees – especially faculty coming from overseas. Maybe a checklist of things that need to get taken care of? This was the worst beginning to any job I have ever had, and I literally started looking for new jobs the second day . The management needs to be proactive in making faculty feel welcome and can trust that the university is on their side. Right now, it is exactly the opposite of that.Show Less Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Copy Link Join the Monash University team See Our Latest Jobs Mar 7, 2015 Helpful (8) "Never think about it - Louzy - cheap - disgusting" Current Employee - Senior Lecturer in Kuala Selangor (Malaysia) Doesn't Recommend Negative Outlook I have been working at Monash University full-time (Less than a year) Pros Nothing: the university from hiring committee to management are manipulative Cons Everything: salary, work load, management, business vision, research facilities, resources Advice to Management You are imbeciles ... corrupt.. and very short sited Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Copy Link May 24, 2013 Helpful (4) "Flexible but slow" Current Employee - Student Assistant in Petaling Jaya (Malaysia) Doesn't Recommend Neutral Outlook I have been working at Monash University part-time (Less than a year) Pros Working part-time in Monash is flexible as I work whenever I am free. There is no fix time! Cons They won't call me up when there is no work. This means the pay per month is quite low. Need to wait at least a month to get my salary.....this is very long! Advice to Management please speed the process in processing the salary!

This campus has extremely terrible reputation. Even local companies dislike the graduates from this campus. This is because as long as you have money, you can enroll in this campus. The quality of the students is therefore very very poor. Cheating, faking results, and plagiarism among students frequently occur, possibly owing to irresponsibility, delinquency, and lazy attitude. Overall, this campus is full of spoiled kids, not only from local students but also from the third world This post has been edited by AnimeSinceForever: May 4 2018, 06:05 PM
