Well its a norm on the 2 months part (mine is 3 months). But not sure about the bond. I thought bond refer to if u borrow from them money. Anyway, by law they cannot sue you since it is in the contract but by ehtics, you should give 2 months notice first because they need to arrange for new staffs and you need to make sure you pass ur work to em smoothly especially if the company is in trouble. If u do like that, no telling what that gonna do to ur reputation and worst ur new company calls ur old one for reference or ur company start to spread news about you to other company it knew. Happens especially in oil and gas company where staff turnovers are high.

QUOTE(samuraikacang @ Jan 28 2009, 02:06 PM) how about if the company says you cannot join another company with have same business with them in 2 years after leaving the company? is this laughable? If its not in the contract then yes. Tell the company, people not that stupid la. |

QUOTE(new~b0y @ Jan 28 2009, 02:13 PM) I supposed they are really desperate that time. And the RM7k, it must be invested for your training. Plus they can't put any new guy on the job without proper training. But suing you when you have done everything stated in the contract? I bet they are just trying their luck. It's not cheap to sue someone. lol, they themselves are not that smart either. What happen if the company sue him despite what the contract already said. They waste time and money in court and have ta pay compensation for wasting the defense time lol. Even if they just want to fool people but if the guy decide press charges (for lying) and bring it to court, the company cannot refuse cause thats what they ask for in the first place and the defendant have the right to do it. Unless they offer the defendant something in value, can the guy drop the case. lol. No wonder that company business in trouble. Not very smart move. If that's the case then the Rm7000 bond is justified, so is the 2 months pay in lieu. Nothing wrong there, dude. This post has been edited by LeechFever: Jan 28 2009, 02:34 PM |

QUOTE(pkh @ Jan 28 2009, 02:41 PM) Yes, the 'bond' refers to the training expenses. But to me, it's sorta like a ploy to keep us from leaving. I have yet to receive any proper training and to make things worse, I myself had to conduct a formal training. But oh well, since I've signed the agreement, I had to pay RM7000 anyhow. There's an article who mentioned on ethics while leaving a company. It's always better to depart in a good way. Most companies will call up your previous workplace for details. It's also funny when the managing director, director and general manager came into play ... for a technician's resignation. I wonder what will happen to the company if I got hit by a lorry. lol of course. If not, employees will abuse and start jumping here and there causing massive headache to businessmen cause they lose money and precious time and people will start saying "let's sleep with the girl, tomorrow we leave her at the road side" idea. The big shots came into play probably because ur old company is on a verge of getting a contract or public listed. If the number of employees does not match certain criteria in the contract or public listing requirement, then the company will be in jeopardy. They afraid if u leave then that means other close to u in same area will leave as well. Of course, if that was the case, I would demand more pay to keep me lol. |
