Wut Christmas?

my company ada buat. kesian my anak buah (cuti raya)
ayam sudah take leave that time

ayam gaduh with ayam HOD because he need support thailand
and he memang need save his AL

Last time always kena at company cina. Before CNY must take annual leave one day. After CNY have to take 2 days. U no take, kira Unpaid leave.

Until someone reported to JTK and they kena kaw2 kek.

Even MNCs follow this, as a cost cutting measure.

My company see who dare to report to JTK?
If report I'll reverse the 1day free holiday each week
All my company workers (including me) signed contract written 6days work per week.
This year (including this month) 1st time in attendance records all workers enjoyed free holiday pay 52days

MCO force AL, lepastu balik kerja tolak gaji pulak

sg also happen


December shutdown 10 days

Gila

Salary super kecil that month........

1st job kena. At manufacturing factory. force AL during CNY. Factory resume at CNY-6...so force AL 4 days

Yes my company force me take compulsory leave. Basically this year all leaves are compulsory starting from CNY till end of this year. Every Friday is c.leave starting from Oct till Dec. Use up all my AL and until cut salaries.
I never take any AL by choice this year

You mean like during festivals? Then yes. Usually company will force extra leave for CNY, Raya and Deepavali.

Yeah not uncommon for manufacturing

Not shutdown for me but unpaid leave. So those days are just chill or light wfh which I don't really mind

Count my blessings. Since covid my workplace in MY has implemented this four out of the five years and only for mgmt. Thailand, Indonesia and Europe from mgmt to junior mgmt and exec level kena and now in Europe for more than a year shopfloor operators liao
