Have We Won Debate for Travelling Allowance Already?

Today, me and colleague continue our battle about the travelling allowance.
First the admin manager gave us 1 day leave (for Saturday work) and 2 hours leave (for Thursday & Friday work @ camp). Then we said we want travelling allowance as we always have.. So she said RM20 per person deduct RM5 for each meal you take in the camp (even it's prepare by company).

We are so not satisfied with it that we continue our fight today. So...She then say, RM20 per night, the 1 day trip will be RM10, nett pay will be after you deduct the RM5. Before you can get your claim, you have to fill up a claim form and make a short report of your journey. State out time of arrival and time of depart,etc.

But after few hours, the admin manager change her mind again when the admin executive walk in to ask her. She said, your company standing order is not yet being approved by the managing director, so if you want to claim travelling allowance, I suggest to follow the rule and regulations of the other company.(which is own by the same managing director). So we agreed.

Then, the result is, RM25 per night. For day trip / The day you return is RM10. For the day you depart, you can claim RM7.50 for breakfast, but if the day you return has been provided with breakfast, then there will be no RM7.50 for you. OR, the hotel you lived provide breakfast.
RM5 meal still need to be deduct unless you bring your own food. LoL
I think if I bring my own food, there will be 2 luggages.

I just wonder why she refuse to bring out the handbook at the first place or tell us that the new standing order is still under consideration. She rather let us all mad at her and cursing every single minute. What is there to be hiding for? This is totally crazy.

Tomorrow I will submit my claim form and hopefully the ah mu who did the payroll will remember to put it in our salary in October. Aih..

Thank you friends, for your support, and thank you for helping me scolding and cursing them lol thank you. xD

Horrible Heartless Management!

I woke up with my panda eyes today. Hoping that my work will run smoothly as my account will be audited by some internal auditors. *sigh* It feels like you're a flower and there is some flies sticking on your petals lol... I think they will be here until this Friday. This is boring... really boring.

Well, the main point I want to talk about this company I'm currently work in, isn't about having auditors checking your stuff. It's about the travelling allowance you get when you go to work outside of town. I still remember the first year I join this company, they sent me out to camp for 3 days and 2 nights. I got around RM40 i think, for the allowance. But this morning, the admin manager came to me and say that she gave me 2 hours leave.

My brain couldn't twist back what she said so I just look at her with my eyes full of confusion but yet she just walked away. When I told my colleagues about it, she asked me to go together and ask the admin manager once again of what she meant. There, she told us, the 2 hours is for the 2 working days we use to go to camp as per the financial controller instructions. Then, I asked her, What about saturday? We spend 1 whole day at the camp too. Then she puzzled a while and said to me, she will give me 1 day leave for that Saturday. Gosh... No travelling allowance.

BUt then, my leader of account department went to talk to this admin manager in the afternoon regarding the same thing. Then the admin manager told her, If you guys want money, then will give to u according to your position but I might have to deduct RM5 for each meal you eat. Now this is the part where we are not satisfied with. Camp provide us food. It's not like we asked them to provide for us. Afterall, I think it's their responsibility to provide us food, all charges will take into company account. And somehow this admin manager want to deduct us RM5 for the meal we took, doesnt matter what we eat =_=" this is totally insane! I just dont get it.

Then she said, other company staff brought their own bread to the camp and eat just to avoid their allowance being deduct RM5. Wow.. other company? Other company has their own policy.. why must we follow? All this while this is how we get our allowance if we ever go travelling for work purpose and now she change it just like that? CRAZY bitch! damn!

I just cant accept it. We are not giving up to fight for our allowance. We are going to ask our kuching colleague who already stay at the camp for like 6 days. Do they receive any allowance? Do their allowance get deduct for RM5 for meal? I really wanted to know.

Battle continue tomorrow!

Tiring Journey of My Favourite October.

Finally I'm home. I missed home so much although my home is not as good as some home of the rich, but , like people said, you will love the place you stay no matter how it is, and that is how I feel.

Now why would I suddenly missed home? LoL. Well it's because I wasnt at home for the past 2 days. On the 7th October 2010, the senior executive of my current company request me and 4 other colleagues to go up to the oil palm estate. She told us there will be a meeting and would like us to join. Well, I was thinking, it's just a meeting, why not just join and see what is the meeting all about.

So we all went up there with bag filled up with basic needs. Who knows, when we arrived at the estate office, the financial controlller doesn't seem so happy. To my surprise, the senior executive is already there busy with herself. lol. She told us we are late and say people are not happy waiting for us to start the canteen's stock check. All of us feel so mad and yet can't voice a thing at that time. Who is the person who told us that we are only attending a meeting?? Arghhh so so so pissed with that lady! Why can't she just told us that we are there to do some task? Is it so P & C until she has to lie?? Erghhh if I can turn her into a tomato, I would smash the tomato with my feet! *smash*

So all 4 of us having a puzzled mind don't know what to say, what to do. Everybody in the plantation look tensed lol. HAhahahahaha yeah, cause all of sudden we are now some sort of storekeeper checking stock in a dusty, rat urine smell of canteen.
*sigh* I hate that place and I thought I wouldn't have to go there again as my workload is getting more each year. *sad*
We still continue to do the task although none of us feel pleased.

That Thursday passed by quite fast too. Somemore it's a raining Thursday. I feel so so hungry even though I ate pork bun already that morning. Maybe the bumpy trip makes me feel hungry easier than usual. They promised us there will be lunch served but when we went to the rest house, nobody was there and the door is lock. We had no choice but to go the other canteen and eat. To our surprise, they only serve instant noodle. OMG! I am so hungry and feel polluted with the rat urine and dust and was hoping to have a simple rice meal and all we get is noodle??!!!! eeeeekkkkkkk
I feel like kicking the asshole who gave us this fake promises.

Fine fine fine.. We can't do anything at all. We all know it's hard to find food in the middle of the oil palm jungle so we order some instant noodle and carbonated drinks. *sigh*
After the 'super duper simple not full meal', we rest a while and continue to work after that. I hate checking those dusty stock. Those ladies working in the canteen totally never clean those stuff. Maybe because the person in-charge doesn't mind the dust. lol.
But then, when it's near the time to go home, we all doesn't feel good at all. Why? because our stock check is not yet done lol. Haih.. have to go down again the next day. We can't overnight because we didn't prepare anything as we are told that we will be there for a meeting lol.

Somehow there is a thing which I dont feel pleased at all. Why is the person in-charge of the canteen account doesn't have to come and do the stock check herself but me and my 3 other colleagues? It just doesn't make sense at all. Out of the 3 colleagues of mine, 1 is a I.T supervisor. =_=" It's not that we dont have enough staff in account department.
If to say that we need to go to help each other colleague, well fine then, what about my work? My account will be audited tomorrow for 1 whole week. Who would help me? Them? I have a doubt in that. I feel paiseh to ask other people to help in our own work as we can do it ourselves. I dont know why would they have the face to do that to us.

The next morning, I left my luggage in the office and went out to buy some stuff with my colleagues. She need small bottle of shampoo. When we go back to get our bags after buying things, there is this girl saying to me " u guys know that it's already confirm that u guys will overnight at the camp?"
WSEHHHHHHHHH I am so so angry that time. Don't she feel a little paiseh at all? Still dare to smile and ask? What is that all about har? So I answer her while lifting my bag, " I know, I know ah, other you think I bring all these bags for fun?"
I dont want to look at her. I am so so so so so mad no words can describe!! ish

Then , while I walked half way the exit door, my admin manager call me from behind. She asked me, " do u know ur account will be audited on Monday?" , I answered , " i know ah", " u know they're coming?" =_=" "i know ah.." She actually worry I dont have time to do my own arrangement for my work to face those auditors next week. But what can she do? Can she do anything? I wasted my 2 days doing other people job what the helllllll... eee i feel like smacking those heads who doesn't realize the wrong thing they do and still can smileee =_=" Not even words of concern.

I never regret of the good things I do, as I never expect anything good from them. What I do is good for myself. If they know how to pay back, they will know how. I have no need to put effort of teaching them. I pity my 2 new colleagues. They get cheated again and again. It's not that we are stupid for keep staying even after getting bullied like this. We have reason behind that. Those who ever been in our shoes will know how it feels.

Tomorrow, I will represent my 3 other colleagues, passing back the work we did at the camp to the person in-charge of the account. We all left some work for her to do. Yes, we are very nice. lol. It's her job, and we left some for her. =P
What we suffer there, does she know? We overnight there leiiii. We live in a big house filled with boys and girls, old and young. Our room smell ridsect and filled with mosquitoes. We are unable to call our love one to chit-chat as digi yellow man is not around! We need to go out standing outside donating our blood to the mosquito to call our loved one. Ahhhhhh sad!

Hmph! It's time to show some attitude to these assholes!
