Some chinaman company is so frustrating to work with. Reasons:-

1. Boss/Owner order you do, just follow even though it's openly stated in your Job Descriptions that it's ain't your duty in the 1st place.

2. Amend and change the company rules to their whims.

3. If you really perform; ie, achieving your targets and getting high commissions. Will increase your target damn high or cut your claims etc etc etc

Come on, most ppl join these company as a stepping stone anyway. After 2-3yrs, MNC is the way to go

my ex-firm is Japanese MNC... they do encourage us to go back on time... but sometime we still needed to rush for deadline things till midnight.. once the Japanese boss noted that and came out a rule stating that the latest time for going back is set on 7pm which means not later than 7pm u work... if u have/insisted to work over 7pm...prior to this, we are required to apply a stay back application form for top management to approve with explaining the reason y u need to stay back...

the Japanese boss's rationale for implementing this policy, is because he does encourage his employees to balance their life...dont spent too overweigh in working life..he always encourage us to enjoy leisure time after working hours...

looks like very understandable boss...  thumbup.gif

he always say "work smart and efficient" seems like he justify those who work very late is not efficient and smart enough.... the "who" is my damn ex-departmental head where chinamen mindset...  vmad.gif

Chimaman Management not listed much on internet except forums. I dont realize the problem until now. My experience of work..

1. First job also consider chinaman but boss graduate engineer from UK and work for Boustead until top management then started his own company. No problem here.

2. 2nd job also chinaman, boss graduate engineer from Japan and work in Lion group until top management b4 starting own co. No problem.

3. 3rd job also chinaman but big group of companies. Good Structure and policies. No problem

4. 4th job truly mnc fortune 500. very structured and good policy. everything is like clock work. still remembered, 1st day got all stationeries, everything u need, emails, clean or fresh desktop pc. 2nd day got namecard, access card and parking acess card etc...No problem.

5. 5th job also chinaman, big factory, until i resign also no get employment letter but promise benefits are given. No issue, big boss always ask me on company management policies. Always says he only work for people 1time only.

6. 6th job also Chinaman. DISASTER... Boss and wife...whatever boss decide, the wife override or very concerned. non stop fault finding. u do wrong get it, u do right also find some fault on details or process saying still need improvement. my 3 months of hell.

7. 7th job and current. chinaman co. Also boss and wife. Dont know is 3 months or sooner or later.


So it all depends on your boss education and working experience b4 start own co and if it is a husband and wife team dont go in if you know b4 joining..

I used to work as a M and E consultant in one of those "Chinaman" companies.

We had NO holidays for Thaipusam and Deepavali because we only had 2 Malays and 10 Chinese staffs working there. All 10 engineers have to share just 1 old beat up printer in the office, and you have to sort all A1 and A0 drawings yourselves.

He bought us all milk once (which we all thought was too good to be true) and turns out they were all expired. One of my colleagues drank without checking and noticed that it already turned sour. Apparently he kena "conned" by the supermarket.

I will buy siew paos for all colleagues whenever I go back to my hometown in Seremban, and he will silently snag the whole box home. He once complaint that we used too much water because the bill was RM10 more expensive than the previous month.
