Ruriimasu 1st Gear July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 sometimes your wife need to tell the school to look at the bump in her tummy. AKA wake up the person who told her to set papers. i remembered an inconsiderate boss of mine, her wanted to call a staff who was hospitalised after breast cancer op.. me and my colleague were there when he was about to pick up the phone and we stopped him, short of lecturing him upside down. some people...

Watwheels Supersonic July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 My wife continues to work even while on ML coz she say very sian at home apart from the milk feeding and diaper changes. Some more she c-section which requires a longer time for the wound to heal. She tells me it's her responsibilities she gotto take care of. Boh pian if she wants to continue working. You want to take legal action ah? Dan the students how? Cannot expect them to take exam on a blank piece of paper? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tot of writing in to the ministry who encourage birth but yet stressed out these people.. Anyway before my wife went to ML, they already sourcing out for relieve.. The way u put it is as tho the school cannot function without my wife... There are other teachers that can do the exam papers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiadaw 6th Gear July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 In most 1st world countries, its a clear NO! I believe in most 1st world countries, its not even legal for them to work even if the company willing to give extra pay for the service. But in Singapore, well, I do nto know. I suppose it is still a no, but not doing the request may means being 'blackmarked'! So Yap, Singapore labor law (or lack of it) have been lacking, as well as how poorly many superiors treated their suborniates. I think (my view only), MOM did not set rigid rules so labors can be make 'flexible' to remain 'competitive' e.g work long hours without OT pay or claim. There are many ways to be competitive, but we are still using methods that are at least a few decades old when we are still in development. namely, cheap low end labors, or extract more work/hours out per labor personel.

Watwheels Supersonic July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 IMHO different folks different strokes, we come from different work environment, office politics, diff pay grade, diff roles & responsibilities, work attitude also different. It's hard to make comparisons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime also .need to ask yrself how u treat tose reporting to u. , Just my two cents worth Got problem of cause, but there is a big difference betwen small problem, & big ones. Having worked in a few workplaces, as well as a few countries, I can tell you, there is a VERY VAST different between a workplace with a good working climate & interrelationship (top, side & bottom) vs one that is not.

Watwheels Supersonic July 5, 2012 Share July 5, 2012 good to be able to think and do other things, if not can get post natal depression provided not too pressurized! Her boss even promoted her when she got back to work. Her boss did not tell her about all this before hand. There are some things that ppl have yet to experience at their level right now. Once ppl have reach a level that they have to answer directly to clients they will know what is it like to have your staff to take leave at the most crucial moments. Go for ICT lah, give birth lah, wife give birth lah, take MC lah, Boh Lang zoh kang. Are you going to tell your client your staff give birth and all that. Sounds very unprofessional? Do ppl know why ICT give 6 months or more notice in advance? Last time very last minute everyone kpkb as it causes a lot of disruption. I dun blame ppl coz they have yet to reach that level. I think ppl should also spare a thought for others also. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
