Asked to resigned, having issue with notice period

alien9 — Sun, 17 Jun 2018 23:57:20 +0800

I'm currently holding a key position in a company (as an e-commerce developer) and I have 3 months notice period in my contract.

Few weeks back, the company asked me to resigned due to the company's monetary situation (sale is bad and they are having trouble to keep me due to my pay).

I managed to find a new company that I'm very interested to work with. However, I tendered my resignation letter on the 16th April and my notice period would be around 16th July but I want to work at the new company on 2nd July.

Reason is to meet the end year review for increment (I need to work for minimum 6 months to get a review and then pay rise) plus longer time for me to meet my KPIs as I did not get a pay bump by joining this new compang.

I've discussed with my current company and they want me to work until end of my contract.

I'm currently have no motivation to work there anymore due to mass turnover in a very short period of time and miss-treated by the company.

Can I just not come to work at my current company and go to my new company or what can I do here?

Benelli Leoncino VS Honda REBEL 500

alien9 — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 22:25:53 +0800

Looking to upgrade my Suzuki Belang 150cc to a bigger bike and I have a lot of interest between these two bikes.

I like both design but would prefer Honda Rebel because I rode Modenas Jaguh for few years back then.

Haven't test drive any of these bike but planning to do it this weekend

Very bad employer's practice

A friend of mine works as a HR Exec in one of the Security Guard Company (the company provides security guards to school, hospital etc).

Those security guards that work with them have been given a probation of 6 months. During the probation, their basic pay is RM 630 + some allowance that I'm not sure about.

So, what the company does is that when all those security guards almost completing their probation period, the company will ask the HR that deals with the security guards (my friend and some of her friends) to send them a termination letter so that the guards won't be working there anymore.

The reason why the company did that is because they don't want to pay the minimum wage of RM 900 to the security guards that have completed their probation period. What can my friend do about it?

Can report to Labour Office or not for the wrong doings of the company?

Keto Diet

alien9 — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:06:05 +0800

Hye guys. Anyone here have any experience about Keto Diet? Care to share here?

I'll start with mine. Today is my 5th day on Keto Diet. Felt very lethargic making me unable to complete my workout routine today.
So, when you guys adjusted with the energy transistion?

Back Exercise

alien9 — Thu, 10 May 2012 23:33:43 +0800

Hye guys. Today is the Upper Body Hypertrophy day from Layne Norton's PHAT. My first time feeling so tired and almost skipped my evening class because of no energy left. Anyhow, I have a great workout today

But then, I just want to ask you guys, when you are doing your back exercises, how do you engage your lats? Means that how do you make sure that the exercise is targeting the lats, not the biceps or any body part?

These are the exercise that I've done today (back only).
1. Pendlay Row
2. Chin up
3. Close Grip Cable Row
4. Dumbbell Bent Over Row <- might change it to Meadow Rows for next workout
5. Close Grip Pulldown
6. T-Bar Row using T-handle

As far as I know, during the Pulldown, I need to pull my body back just a little bit before pulling down. But then, I feel lactic acid build up on my shoulder (which means that I'm using my shoulder) throughout the exercise. It shouldn't be like that right?

Delayed Onset Muscle Syndrome

alien9 — Sun, 06 May 2012 14:00:06 +0800

Hye all. Just switching my workout routine from Stronglifts 5x5 + a bit of adjustment to Layne Norton's PHAT as per suggested by fellow forumeres -Dan.
Just tried the Lower Body Power day on Friday and right now I'm experiencing DOMS, and it is very hurt at the moment. Another bad news is that I just done my Arms and Chest Hypertrophy day yesterday (Saturday) and I might be experiencing another DOMS and stacking them up will be a lot of pain.

Anyone knows how to reduce the pain?
