WARNING OR JUST PLAIN 'PLEASE QUIT'
8 years ago · 0

I"m writing on behalf of my sister. It"s her 15th year in this company. She"s already in her mid- 40"s. With a double degree in Marketing and Economics. She worked in other companies before, such as in Beauty products, teaching and advertising. It"s because she has never dabbled in fashion, they offered her $2500 when she started. Working hours are from Monday to Friday, 9.00am until 6.00pm. Deduction of $50 every time she runs late they even deducted her when she had an appointment one morning but never refunded next following month. No allowances, no commission and no overtime charges. Extra services, fetching the boss"s maid"s home. Arranging it naturally like it"s supposed to and not as a favor with their "sister in law".
The company promised a 10% of shares and possible partnership. Instead changed their mind, hinting if she were to leave they will take everything back (not that she had received any advantages in the first place). She directly asked the boss" if they wanted her to quit but they said no.
She was promoted to "Senior Marketing Manager" this year. Her current salary $4500. Her job requires sales, designing, consultations and most of the time having to deliver samples and uniforms to clients herself. The company bought her a car, actually paid for her first installment, and then she had to continue on herself. They supplemented her credit card but took it back. They had just started paying for her EPF (pension) just 3 years ago (yes, 3).
2 years ago they hired an intern. A diploma in Mass Comm. Start off salary, $2000. She was hired to be an assistant for my sister. Just 2 weeks after she was redirected to help the lady boss in production department. Her job, making phone calls to promote and sell lab/site shoes and issuing invoices. 1 year into the job she was then raised to $2500 and now $2700-$3000. Bought her a car, installments fully covered by the company (not a rumor but an accidental slip-out from her mouth) which she seldom drives it to the office. Instead she asks my sister to fetch her for appointments.
So, is she supposed to quit or is she their game of ball...

So I wonder about life sometimes. We are born into this very cold world, and we're not given a choice on the matter. We're told that you have to stick it out. S...
