Hi..I'm actually a staff for HP which has just been converted from a contract staff to permanent status.What I am not satisfied is how the management revise the salary for staff whom has work for a longer term and has yet to get an increment.
It has been an issue among us that the salary had not been increased, not even MYR50.Whilst the travelling allowance has been taken off, until to this date they have yet to come uot with the decision of either to continue with the allowance or not.It is a nerve racking moment knowing that other staff that has just been employed 2 months after us, had their increment while us, had been left in the darker side.
It had been a tradition within the department that the more close you with the boss the higher chances you will get an increment.
For me, this is really absurd, really disgusting, mostly really stupid that we need to be sweet talker to get an increment.
We couldn't really travel to work anymore, as my travelling expenses had reached a point of MYR310 per month and i could not simply move or rent out as i am already married and had already bought a house. I need to wake up at 5am every morning so that i could arrive slightly early to get to the office.
HP office is at Cyberjaya which is located at a remote area where bus andd taxi are rarely seen around here. There is only a shuttle bus that goes around Cyberjaya and waiting time of every 15-20 minutes. From there, I have to catch another bus to Putrajaya Sentral to catch another train to Kuala Lumpur.
HP do not have the initiative to actually get a transportation arrangement for it's staff. Even if we drive to work the cost will be around MYR350++ as per tol fare and petrol per month minus the car loan that we need to pay every month.Plus that, well, you what it's like.
It is not a good time for me and some of my collegues to quit and find another job, but since the situation does niot change we had to think of another job.At least, a job that do appreciate it's staff for it's performance based and not from being a sweet talker and all.
