Why do u talk like the only way to run a successful biz is to do it the calculative, insincere chinaman way? In fact the opposite is true when you look at the worlds most profitable companies.
They almost always take the generous staff-welfare policy route. It comes down on hiring the right people, not the BMI-calculating, RM200-medical-expenses-a-year method TG is doing.
there are many ways to run a business, each has their own perks and cons. but at the end of the day, a business needs to be run and profits is the rule of the game. And in the game, if someone does things a certain way and achieve results, i dont think im worthy to critique.
what people often ignore is every year there are swarms of businesses that operate all ways that fail, and the "western" way is actually a myth (warren buffett has admitted to underpaying, Neutron Jack infamous for sacking). Even the "generous welfare" is not for everyone, its often for top executives or key personnel, the apple retail store employee probably wont get much out of it.
what people also dont see is the value generated by the staff , qualification and dedication, in a lot of major corporations people work very hard, 7 days a week hard, they are achievers, with the qualification and skills and expertise to design products or services that make the average guy wet their panties in glee.
sure if you are part of that group, its deserving, im quite certain that a lot of companies even TG would offer you the best benefits they can. but i doubt people who complain about it are part of that group, i dont think they are able to qualify to work in the worlds most profitable companies.
so what do you do with people who come from TAR, want work life balance and can only work 5 days a week? come in at 9, push responsibilities around, 2 hour lunch then run home at 6?
im quite sure, "pay him more and give him more holidays!" would not come to anyones head as a solution
