(A battery brand that starts with G) @sia. An IT outsourcing company that is based in Subang Jaya. My experience with this company? I was involved in providing onsite services for Dell Malaysia through another vendor that deals with ATM machines(the one that got hacked recently). At first, I enjoyed my work until they ask me to travel places which is located outside KL like Bestari Jaya, Sepang and Sekinchan .I can only claim RM 0.50/km btw. The bosses are not flexible when it comes to choose where to go even though I have to use my mother's old car to travel. If they ask you to go to outstation locations, you have no choice and you can't say no. I have been forced to travel to Sarawak because my other colleague who was supposed to go has a baby to take care. So, I went anyway just to gain some experience. Air ticket is provided but for accommodation I have to fork out my own money and claim later. I stayed in Sarawak for three days, hoping after that I can come back to KL, but I was wrong! They asked me to go to Sabah as well. I told them that I ran out of clothes to wear since I only brought three days worth of clothing. But the management said that I can ask the laundry services at the hotel to wash my clothes. Reluctantly, I went to Kota Kinabalu and once I landed at the airport, I took the first cab to reach the customer's site at a shopping center. After completing my first task, I went to my second location which is situated nearby. I searched in circles for the location based on the information given on my BlackBerry but I couldn't find it. Tried calling the customer but no one is picking up. Actually, Dell did not provide the name of the company, so it was very hard to find. Then, I called my call center in Singapore to inform about the problem and we had a conference call with Dell over the phone. It was already 7pm and I haven't had my dinner. To my surprise, Dell told me that it was actually Public Bank and I was fuming because the bank is already closed at 5.30pm If Dell had informed me earlier that it was Public Bank, I wouldn't have to run like a mad man searching for the location for 2 hours!

I had enough of that crap. At the same day, I lost my phone in a taxi and I have to fork out RM 112 just to stay at Tune Hotel for one night. The next day, I told my boss that I need to come back because my mother wasn't feeling well. So, I came back and I was happy.The next day, I travelled to Sungai Buloh to replace a client's laptop screen and I got a call to go to Kuantan. WTF? I told them that I can't go by giving them some excuses. They said I can travel by bus but I said I want to travel by plane. They said it is not possible and I said I will not go unless you give me a flight to go there. They were angry and they ask me whether I wanted to work or quit. I said I quit and they told me to tender my resignation immediately. So, I went to the office in Subang Jaya and surrendered the company's Blackberry as well as my Dell tag. The sad part is since I was tied to a bond for 1 year with the company, all my claims and 3 months salary will be offsetted to cover the training costs. Even though I did not receive my salary, at least I am glad that I am out of this hell.

You may be right but it depends on the situation. In my situation, I did not want to accept outstation calls and they were not happy about it. I was issued a first warning letter because of this and I quit because they will keep assigning me more outstation clients.

How about Teledirect Telecommerce? Founder is a French guy but management style is chinaman to the max(most of the management team are Chinese especially the Team Leader, Project Manager and Project Director ). Salary wise sucks because you need to work for commissions. If you don't make any sales, they will scream at you like a pontianak. Must work on Saturdays even though it is stated in the offer letter that we need to come only on alternate Saturdays.I used to work there in 2008 but I don't know whether the management style is still the same?

No, you are not weak. It is just the manager who is the problem here. Leave ASAP and find another job. Or, you can start a small business just to earn some income until you get a new job.

Damn! My former manager was from there and when he joined the company that I was working two years ago, he also used his Chinaman attitude to make a living hell out of me!

Unless you are a family member or a relative of the company's boss, it is not worth working for them.

Wow, this is even worse than a Chinaman company!

Another Chinaman company:

A China web design company based in KL Sentral and the manager is from mainland China who does not know how to speak English. I saw someone posted a thread about this company, so I thought why not add it here.

I partially agree with your statement, but it also depends on which "Chinaman" company you work for. But they are quite generous in giving out bonuses during Chinese New Year.
