if you dont why? if you do why? do you think it is difficult to be a BOSS, looking after the company's interest and yours, but sometimes there will be conflicting priorities, so what to do? if your boss gave you monetary rewards for a job well done or truly appreciate your hard work by praising you infront of your other colleagues and taking you out for a treat, which is better for you (please no bedding or sex afterwards - just plain makan) if you boss keep scolding you, it is often so easy to say your boss is PMT or nut case, but have anyone examine themselves and maybe eureka moment realised that they themselves are the problem is your boss much smarter than you or you are smarter than your boss, if so why are you still working for him or her myself, unfortunately i am my own very boss, no employee yet

The Straits Times www.straitstimes.com Published on Nov 4, 2011 http://www.straitstimes.com/print/Breaking...ory_730424.html special report Bosses send foreign workers to gamble Workers share in casino winnings, but if they lose too much, they pay By Elizabeth Soh A hard day's work for Bangladeshi construction worker Salim used to mean toiling under the burning sun. But nowadays, at least once a week, he finds himself assigned to a very different kind of 'job' - playing the jackpot machines in the cool air-conditioned comfort of Resorts World Sentosa. The 29-year-old is one of a number of foreign employees being sent to the casino to gamble on behalf of their employers to feed their own habit, a Straits Times investigation has found. Five bosses - some with exclusion orders against them - told The Straits Times that they have been handing workers cash, notebooks and mobile phones, then dispatching them to the casino. They claimed to know several other employers doing the same thing. The 'proxy gamblers', dressed mostly in company polo T-shirts and jeans, get a cut of the winnings, but if they lose too much, their pay is docked. Copyright

STOMP Maid and BF in passionate petting -- with boss's child seated right beside them
-
Since the case of stomp showing maid carrying army bag for her employer's son, maids seem to learn new ways.... Yesterday on my way to work, i saw a xmm (about maybe 14yr old, nice long legs in hot pants) sitting (or riding) comfortably on the rear tray (behind the main seat) of a bicycle riden by her maid!! ..... a puppy was also sitting in the basket in front of the handle bar. The maid was very small size but she seemed to enjoy cycling with dog in front, xmm behind. What caught my eyes was the xmm looked very relaxed and was actually eating a cup of icecream with her back leaning on the back of the maid, one leg stretched out with the other crossed over, machiam fashion model pose....... will try ambush them again next few days to take a pic.... (i think she lives somewhere nearby)

Came accross this at Yahoo news 10 Signs You Have a Bad Boss Everyone likes to complain about their boss now and then, but here are 10 signs that you have a truly bad boss, the kind worth getting away from. And if you're a manager and recognize yourself in any of the below, it's time to immediately send yourself to manager rehab! 1. Yelling. Managers who yell actually diminish their own authority because they look out of control. After all, a manager confident in her own authority doesn't need to yell because she has far more effective tools available to her. Don't yell, and don't work for yellers. 2. Fuzzy expectations. If your manager doesn't communicate clear, concrete goals for your work, and convey to you what success in your position would look like, she's falling down on one of her most important jobs. A good test: If you and your manager were both asked what's most important for you to achieve this year, would your answers match? 3. Unreliability. She says she'll review your report by Tuesday, but it doesn't happen. She promises to join you for your important meeting but doesn't make it. She says she'll forward you a client's contact info, but it never arrives. You need to be able to rely on your manager to do what she says she's going to do, just as she needs to rely on you for the same. 4. Unwillingness to make decisions. This often takes the form of managers neglecting to address performance problems or not firing low performers. But it surfaces in other ways too, like not taking responsibility for moving work forward or punting in favor of trying to reach consensus. 5. Unreasonable demands. Holding staffers to a high standard is a good thing. But insisting that people work over the weekend to complete a project that isn't time-sensitive, or demanding that an employee do the truly impossible, is the mark of a tyrant. 6. Indirectness. When a manager sugarcoats to the point that her message is missed, or presents requirements as mere suggestions, staffers end up confused about expectations, and the manager ends up frustrated that her "suggestions" weren't acted upon. 7. Ruling by fear. Managers who rule through rigid control, negativity, and a climate of anxiety and fear don't trust that they can get things done any other way. Of course, it backfires in the end because fearful employees won't bring up new ideas for fear of being attacked and won't be honest about problems. Moreover, very few great people with options are going to want to work for a fear-based manager. 8. Defensiveness. Managers who respond defensively when their decisions are questioned end up quashing dissent and making employees less likely to suggest new and different ways of doing things. Managers who are secure in their authority aren't threatened by dissent, and they recognize that others' ideas are sometimes better than their own. 9. Drama. A good manager minimizes drama, rather than causing it. If everything is a crisis around your manager, she's probably what's at the center of the problem. 10. Fear of conflict. If your manager avoids conflict and tough conversations, chances are high that employees don't hear much feedback and problems don't get addressed. So now you know, don't say I teach you hor .......

He is now under a lot of pressure. He is a fantastic manager , the right man for the job. He has a wonderful policy of letting the 2nd team play in major games which I doubt many managers would. But , one thing I want to highlight is that, he should invest in players this season. With only 10 days left to the end of the dramatic transfer window , I hope he does some last minute splashing of cash. Then , he could be assured of staying in his current post as Arsenal's manager. Or else , like today's game , it might risk him being sacked. I hope he would do something. An Arsenal Fan... Sorry bros.. got a little carried away by today's game with Liverpool. It was a great win for them..

I guess the title is already self explainatory. This is being brought up in light of the news that the Ministry of manpower particularly when the Minister of State Tan Chuan-Jin evoke a law and took to task a company for their discriminatory nature of the company's advertisement in recuritment. Let's face it. If any company wants to employ certain type of ppl which they so seek, they could still do it at ANY point of the recuritment. The Bosses could seive thru those they want based on any discriminatory standards they so apply and only employ those they want. Evoking laws of such is totally a moot point. It does not even scrap the surface of the problem and neithier will it address the real issue as to why some or should I say, many companies tend to hire certain type of ppl. This could be race, employment status etc or even how pretty a candidate is! Maybe Mr Tan need to take a self reflection as to why companies in Sinkland became such. Could it becos of the cheap abundance of FTs particularly even those they liberally gave scholarships to , the strong currency, the liberal employment laws where the Boss is KING or locals cost more to employ and job hop or the very working atitude associated with Sinkie etc etc! Let me make an analogy. Know the famous Chinese saying of ..'hanging Goat's head but selling dog meat Well, the companies could jolly well be asking for goats from now in their recuritment ads but actually want dogs as they could be cheaper and more obedient ( they could even catch those that are strays )or dogs work harder and are cheaper to feed, less petty or even more productive and for every Boss , the whole idea about any business is to make more money particularly for himself! Even by evoking such laws, the companies who still perfer certain employees will jolly well execute their selection critieria at the point where they can still pick and choose whoever they want. Sinkland has got a habit that if they don't use methods such as punishing some scrapgoats as example or put up education campaigns again and again, the MIWs don't feel that have gotten the point thru. Maybe the answer has always rest within their own doing and their failure to even recognise this let alone own up to it. So our Ministar Tan is really doing things that are self defeating. Maybe he should first examine the very policies that could make companies want to hire more based on the very merit of the candidates they seek and to undo some policies that seem to hinder or encourage companies NOT to do so. Since I'm not paid a million bucks or more a year I'll leave the thinking and better solutions for Mr Tan to come up with...that is if he is worth his salt and pay check!

It's a good move....... one more leaving SG Jackspeed founder to retire in US Jonathan Kwok 16 December 2010 Straits Times Major share sale earlier that went unexplained had raised eyebrows THE founder of Jackspeed Corp has finally disclosed why he offloaded most of his shares in the firm early this month - he is retiring and heading to the United States to be near his son. Mr Jackson Liew Ham Chow, 52, told The Straits Times on Tuesday that he had already been planning to retire and sell his stock 'for a long time'. 'I think I need to migrate. My son is in America and I want to move to be with him and his family.' He stunned many in the market when he sold almost all his Jackspeed shares in a married deal to Mr Cheng Kwee Kiang on Dec 2 but without giving the Singapore Exchange (SGX) any explanation. It also raised some eyebrows. While a major investor is not required to explain why he is selling a large stake, many do so to allay any market fears over the health of the firm. Mr Liew's transaction was certainly one to make the market sit up and take notice. He sold about 48 million shares - or about 23 per cent of Jackspeed - while retaining about 5.5 per cent of the firm, which makes leather finishings for cars, boats and planes. The deal itself was announced on the SGX website, but the sale price was not. Jackspeed shares closed unchanged at 10 cents that day, so Mr Liew could have reaped about $4.8 million. Mr Liew, who remains executive chairman, said on Tuesday that Mr Cheng was a friend and it was the first time he had bought Jackspeed shares. The thinly traded counter was unchanged at 10 cents in the days after the transaction and inched up half a cent to 10.5 cents on Tuesday. The price may have stayed steady because Mr Liew had told most major shareholders 'a few months back' that he intended to sell. Jackspeed staff and directors were also told about two years ago of his retirement plans, said Mr Liew. Mr Liew stepped down as chief executive on Aug 1 last year and was replaced by Mr Neo Gim Kiong, according to Jackspeed's latest annual report. Mr Neo is the founding director of financial advisory firm Dollar Tree and was executive director at Jackspeed from 2001 to 2004. Mr Liew said on Tuesday that he might step down as executive chairman 'maybe six months later'. He added that he has a wait-and-see attitude towards whether to sell the rest of his Jackspeed shares. Mr Cheng, who bought Mr Liew's shares, has been increasing his Jackspeed stake. He now owns 27.88 per cent of the firm, after three transactions last week, according to an SGX filing. Jackspeed has production facilities in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. It made a loss of about $3 million for the year ended in February, after the economic crisis affected car sales. Observers question whether Mr Liew telling some majority shareholders that he intended to sell shares some months ago constituted material information that should have been announced to the market at that time. Mr Robson Lee, a corporate lawyer and partner at Shook Lin and Bok, said that with Mr Liew 'slowly divesting' after relinquishing his CEO position around a year ago, 'there is no need to think so much about it'. 'The rules were adhered to, because when (Mr Liew) relinquished his CEO position and when he sold the shares, he told the market. 'Obviously he has his reasons for selling his shares, and I won't think too much of his reasons.' National University of Singapore professor Mak Yuen Teen, who monitors corporate governance issues, did not think having directors disclose the reasons for their sales added much value. But Mr David Gerald, president and chief executive of the Securities Investors Association of Singapore, said it is 'always good' for substantial shareholders to disclose the reasons for their sales, or make a statement to allay the fears of minority shareholders. 'One must look not only at the bare requirements of the law but should act (also) in the interest of the shareholders, especially the minorities,' he added.

According to Autocar, Lamborghini chief Stephan Winkelmann has embarked on a world tour to showcase the Murcielago-replacement to selected clients - a model Lamborghini has still not yet officially named. "We've allowed the dealers to select which customers are invited instead of getting involved directly. They know who they need to invite because, in some cases, these are people they have been dealing with for many years," Winkelmann told Autocar. The next flagship Lamborghini model, possibly to be called the Aventador, will be lightweight in construction, featuring a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. It will come with a new 6.5 liter V12 producing 515 kW (700 PS) and 690 Nm of torque. Lamborghini also has a new gearbox for this lineup-topping model. A 7-speed single clutch gearbox called the ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) transmission. The new gearbox features exceptionally quick shift times (50 percent quicker than a double-clutch gearbox) by means of the independent shifting rods. 0 to 100 km/h on the model will be 2.9 seconds and top speed should be around 350 km/h (217 mph). The Murcielago-replacing Lamborghini is expected to debut at the Geneva auto show next March. Source: Autocar -
December 16 has been flagged as a potentially momentous day in Luca di Montezemolo's career. According to French F1 commentator Jean-Louis Moncet writing in his Auto Plus column, the Ferrari president has called journalists to Fiorano on that day. "What will he tell us?" wondered Moncet. It is speculated that the Ferrari president will discuss the famous Maranello based team and possible tweaks in the management. "Maybe he will talk about politics," added Moncet. Indeed, in recent days, 63-year-old Montezemolo has been mentioned in Italian reports about the likely demise later this month of the country's prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. "He could use his high profile in business as a springboard into politics the way Berlusconi did in the early 1990s," one report said. Fascinatingly, Montezemolo's December 16 meeting with journalists is due just two days after Berlusconi faces a confidence vote in Italian parliament "which may well bring down the government", reported the New York Times. Referring to Berlusconi, the Daily Telegraph quoted Montezemolo as saying last week: "The one-man show is over." Source: GMM

The latest management reshuffle at McLaren has made team boss Martin Whitmarsh an even more powerful figure within the Woking based company. Ron Dennis is still chairman of both the McLaren Group and the newly separate road car division McLaren Automotive. But the British outfit revealed on Tuesday that 51-year-old Whitmarsh, already team principal of the Mercedes-powered F1 squad, has been appointed to two new roles. With immediate effect, he is to be CEO of the McLaren Group and deputy chairman of McLaren Automotive, after Sir Richard Lapthorne resigned his non-executive chairmanship of both companies. Whitmarsh is also a board member of the McLaren Group and McLaren Automotive.
