hey guys (especially to adrian66 who bumped up a 1 year old thred)
how is exact doing now? any lay offs? used to work two floors away from them, now lost touch. are they still chinaman style?

I have a friend in there too. He said the situation has gone from bad to worse lately. The German director balik kampung, so called 'resigned' lah. Then this new one makan the place and all of the sudden promoted few managers. This is the best part. Those promoted one apparently are young leaves. What can these young leaves do other than bcome YES-MAN and YES-LADY?? He also said company are having cut cost thingy so increment and bonus can only appear in dreams. But then, managers from all over the world flew off to Germany having vacation. Their flight, accomodation etc is sponsored by the employee's bonus already. Pathetic huh?

My buddy got a call from headhunter that this company is looking for QA Manager.
Is this company really in that bad shape? Not sure if I should ask my buddy to proceed with the interview to check them out or just save the "gas"

Any comment?

My fren told me do not come here if you are expecting high increment, good benefits and yearly bonus. Only selling point is it's a MNC. That's all.

If it is really bad, why your friend still there? Unless...

My friend left there quite some time ago, his friends still in there so those news are from those friends. LOL.
Recently heard that the CEO announced to stop all increments and bonuses for this year. Say no money. But got money held events in renaissanse hotel. What is the rational behind this? nobody knows!

No bonuses? I thought in Exact no bonuses all the whiles.

My friend, in such tough economic situation, it obvious there is no possibility of paying bonus. Just think abit, is holding an event more expensive than paying bonuses?

What is the cost of holding events in a hotel ...? probably about 10- 20K.. depending on what event.
What is the cost of paying bonuses for a staff force of lets say about 250 staff excluding top management .. ??
do some maths ....

average pay of IT staff RM 4000
staff force 250 people
total staff force pay (RM4000 x 250) =RM1,000,000.
So it will cost RM 1 million to pay 1 month bonus
Even half month would be RM 1/2 million.

Anyway bonus is not a right, you have to earn it. NO free lunch here.

No MNC in their right mind would be paying RM1 million just to keep the staff happy.
Be greatful that you still have a job to go back to.

Reading this forum and what I can see is this place is full of ungreatful and unreasonable staff.

Its more like youngsters, or the so call new generation.
That's the current social trend for current generation.

Any vacancies in exact ? is the working environment friendly ?

This is year 2009 and they are still only paying $4k. Time to leave M'sia. Come to Australia, mate! How does A$50 and hour sound to you? How does driving a Camry or Honda for less than A$20k sound? Plenty of them here, all cheap, cheap. Don't waste your in M'sia ... forever cheap labour country.

, it depends on what kinda company u work for, like those korean n japanese one, .

You can take your chances.
The company I work for now is AU based and they are moving / "outsourcing" the work from AU to KL. So no more jobs in AU. Globalisation mah. Yah the pay in AU may be good compare to KL but dont know how long that can last..

In current economic situation, Global company will cut cost and it does not matter if they cut jobs . That why Exact's have such a big center here!! They move the whole development to KL !!

So try your luck loh in AU.. In bad time, foreigner will be the 1st to go......

outsource or not, still plenty of jobs in AU. In current economic slowdown, the gomen even give you free money (actually bank $ into your account) so that you can spend it to help stimulate the economy. M'sia got such thing or not?

Yah we dont have such luxury here. We are not that fortunate and the situation is far from desireable.
So we survive the best way we can..

Strange thing is what are you doing here in this blog still... aren't suppose to be is AU enjoying your unemployment benefits ? and stimulating the AU economy ? What are you doing in this crummy forum about Exact ??

its one year already, is it still the same?
