Lost productivity in malaysia

crapp0 — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 20:27:57 +0800

Had a chat today with one of the field engineers from sweden who was installing an upgraded DP system and i mentioned to him that i was from malaysia.

He told me he used to work for the Ericsson company back in sweden and his boss back in the day had an amusing story about malaysia in the late 90's when Ericsson operated a factory of some sorts in malaysia.

The boss found out that staff were taking an additional hour of work every friday and contacted the GM over there for an explanation as to why the large number of them were doing that, the GM replied that since a majority of the staff were muslims and they attended friday prayers which took 2 hours instead of the usualy 1 hour off for lunch.

He inquired to the GM if he could solve this matter since the HQ didnt authorized that muslim staff could take 2 hours off instead of the usual 1 hour for lunch breaks. So the GM, who wasnt a muslim called all the floor managers and other senior execs who were muslims to propose that either

A) Since their taking 2 hours instead of 1 hr every friday, they would be a pay cut equivalent to a loss of 1 working hour every friday

or

B) They would need to replace that loss of work time

Since the HQ in sweden argued that they were losing alot of man hours since an hour a week could calculate to a total loss of man hours per person of half a day in one month, multiply that by the number of staff adds up to quite alot every month.

Just guess what happened after that meeting.

Banking retrenchment

crapp0 — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:21:38 +0800

Just had a chat with a friend who works for one of the international banks and tomorrow his CFO will be coming over to asia to "shake things up" aka retrenchment for some poor fellas.

Hong kong branch was just settled last week, so this week will be malaysias turn and oddly enough they asked him who is based in singapore to conduct the retenchment in malaysia since the head dont trust the managers and HR to be objective as my friend has put it due to being "members".

I find his enthusiasm on firing the "malaysian branch" admittedly on redundant staff a little worrying.

Elderly employee

crapp0 — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 08:59:15 +0800

I would just want you guys input on this.

Lets say your accounts department is planning to switch to a new cloud based accounting software which will integrate accounting, HR etc.

The problem is the staff who uses the current old accounting software who is somewhat elderly (early 50's) refuses to switch to the new software with the excuse that she is too busy to learn (I suspect she is just old and stuck up in her own ways").

Would you fire her and get a new person who is willing to learn or not go forward due to one person being stubborn? But the caveat is she is very good at what she does.

Anger as Saudi king takes over entire French beach

crapp0 — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 19:23:08 +0800

Vallauris (France) (AFP) - Beach lovers on the French Riviera expressed their anger Sunday over the imminent arrival of the Saudi royal family, who have ordered a long stretch of beach to be closed off to the public.

"Looking after their security is fine, but they should at least let us go for a swim," said Mohamed, a disgruntled fishing enthusiast.

Nestled in the rocks between the coastal railway and the translucent waters of the Mediterranean, the grounds of the royal family's immense villa stretches across a kilometre of Riviera coastline between Antibes and Marseille.

Local authorities confirmed that King Salman is due to arrive at some point this week, and that access to the entire kilometre stretch will be cut off, including the public beach at Vallauris, which can only be reached through a tunnel under the railway line.

"Access to the coast will be prohibited by police officers for the duration of the king's holiday," said local official Philippe Castanet.

Coastguards will also stop anyone coming within 300 metres of the villa by sea.

Beach users swung between disappointment and anger over the news.

"They take the decision and there's nothing we can say," said Mohamed, rinsing off his fishing rod on the beachfront.

"It's a good fishing spot and blocking access is not acceptable."

- Beach-to-villa elevator -

Fatima, a local nurse, had come with her two daughters for a swim.

"Whether it's him or another billionaire, they always have priority over ordinary people. On the other hand, they are good for business, coming here with 400 people in their entourage. I heard they might even fix the roads."

Her boyfriend Didier recalls a time when Salman's predecessor King Fahd was visiting and the police had to forcibly remove swimmers who refused to clear out.

Workers hired by the Saudis had last week already started building the fence that will close off access to the beach, but were ordered to stop until the royal family arrives.

They had also generated a great deal of anger by starting work on an elevator from the beach to the villa, which involved pouring a huge slab of cement directly on to the sand.

The local authorities have allowed work on the elevator to continue on condition that it is dismantled when the family vacation ends.

The villa itself has become a hive of activity, with one local, Christian, saying there were dozens of people decking it out with rose bushes and other plants over the weekend.

"You can see they've replaced the balcony windows, no doubt to put in some bullet-proof glass," he said.

He also pointed out what appeared to be a golden throne, positioned to soak up the sun -- and a view unspoiled by the general public -- on the villa's terrace.

China warns U.S. surveillance plane

crapp0 — Fri, 22 May 2015 18:21:37 +0800

Above the South China Sea (CNN)The Chinese navy issued warnings eight times as a U.S. surveillance plane on Wednesday swooped over islands that Beijing is using to extend its zone of influence.

The series of man-made islands and the massive Chinese military build-up on them have alarmed the Pentagon, which is carrying out the surveillance flights in order to make clear the U.S. does not recognize China's territorial claims. The militarized islands have also alarmed America's regional allies.

Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell told CNN's Erin Burnett Wednesday night that the confrontation indicates there is "absolutely" a risk of the U.S. and China going to war sometime in the future.
