Any company that needs you to work on Saturday in office is surely a Chinaman-style old-fashioned company that values only zombies.

Try to find your way out or you will suffer imbalances in your life. It's even more damaging when your earnings don't mean much, especially when you take Saturday as typical holidays to be spent with your loved ones or friends.

The govt should make Sat/Sun triple the daily pay compulsory regardless of industries to discourage workers exploitations.

As for your lateness of 5 mins, the mutual respects go both ways. The HR shouldn't interfere with your timeliness unless specifically directed by your superior or HOD. Direct involvements by HR means that the company is a small biz that doesn't value talents (if there is even a talent management team) that needs robots, not human for the work.

When I first joined this company I thought things seemed OK. 2-3mths in is where all the cinapek mannerism start showing. At one point I have to deal with a 40yo colleague (or department HOD) and his crybaby ass. He legitimately cried when we disagreed with his flawed idea and presentation. I'm not kidding he broke down in tears what a fucking nightmare! The boss actually sided with him just because he's older. The whole debacle got so bad the other guy just decided to up and leave the company. Because there's no way 2 20+yo youngsters have to deal with a man twice our age who knows nothing but only to cry when we point out the flaws and want to correct it.

That's how shitty the company's mindset is. They basically run on this "I can do this to you, but you cannot do this to me" mindset and "you step on my foot, I will stab you to death" approach. Just last week we have 1 biz dev coming in. Within less than 1 week she decided to just give 24hr and leave because somehow the management is just too overbearing and cannot see beyond their nose. So yes my current company is memang a chinamam company lol.

That's more of the reason to get this shit done with ASAP. In East Msia, there would not be much other than oil & gas, logging, and fisheries. Not sure about your industry but if you are into oil&gas, you should aim for reputable companies like Shell or Petronas and the likes. Chinaman-style companies are quite prevalent in S&S compared to West Malaysia where the HQ are more likely to follow international standards of 5-day work week. Having your boss to defend the indefensible made things even worse.

If all else fail, try to look into opportunities in West Msia or SG if your skill-sets are in demand. Just never settle for less or compromise on Saturday work, unless you can get replacement leaves or compensated for your work.
