getting clearer direction now for my job..

Well.. the merger process has been dragged for so long and finally we heard from the new management regarding the arrangement of staff lately.. as what most of us have expected they won't take all the current staff and the decision is they will only take 30% of the current staff and the remaining 70% will be offered VSS..

The 30% who got offered a job by the new management have received the letter of offer from the new management just before raya holiday and they have to make up their mind whether to accept the offer by 6 Oct, just after the raya holiday..they have to use the raya holiday to think and come back with the decision on the first day back to work(so bad ha.. at least let people enjoying their holiday and give the letter after raya..) a lot of information seems really unclear in the letter especially what most of them concerning is whether the new management will accept their housing loan with the current company or not else they have to transfer the loan to otehr bank where the legal fees will cost them a lot.. another issue is in the letter never mention which section/unit they will report to.. only state that report to HR on the first day.. so all of them have no idea what are they gonna to do in the new job..beside that some of them have been downgraded their designation and there is no salary adjustment.. the worst thing is their annual leave has been cut off 8 days a year.. another worst thing is if there is any question in the offer, the HR will come to meet them on the 6 oct morning and they have to decide in the afternoon..can you believe that..??!! if they don't accept the offer then they will pay VSS.. money or job.. u choose..

The remaining 70% group have mix feeling too.. for those who are close to 55 years old should be happily accept the VSS and enjoy their life or finding other easier job.. but for those middle age, they may have problem to find another job due to the poor job market now.. unless they don't mind to get lower pay.. so I am sure it is hard time for them..

There will be 2 more months that our current company will officially close down.. I can see that everybody is sad after spending so many years working together and built up the friendship in the same working environment.. I am sure there will be lot of farewell lunch or dinner for the next 2 months.. I just hope I can still hear joy and laughter in the office in the remaining 2 months althought I know it is not easy for everyone at this time..

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY AND ALWAYS TAKE GOOD CARE..
