[sgnewsalte]

PM Lee encourages Sporean to have more babies. But when the female local employee goes for her maternity leave, her job is taken over by foreign workers. And the PAP Govt keep telling us that foreigners helps to create job for locals.

After she returned from her maternity leave, STOMPer Shaneya was shocked to discover that her job had been taken over by a foreigner and that she had been transferred to another department.

According to this STOMPer, these changes were implemented without her knowledge and approval.

She says:

“When I came back to work on the 28th of January 2009 from my maternity leave of 112 days, I discovered that my job had been given to a foreigner. I was told by this foreigner that I can’t have my job back, which I had handed over to him before going on leave.

“The sad part is that I joined the company in 2006 and this foreigner, who is an employment pass holder, joined a year after me. He was inexperienced when he joined and I had to teach him a lot of things. There was also some favouritism involved as I heard rumours that his uncle was related to our boss.

“Coming back to my issue, after waiting for 5 days upon returning from my maternity leave, my boss spoke to me very unhappily and reluctantly. He said that he had decided that all the effort that I had put into my job previously didn’t matter and that he didn't want me to ask anymore questions on why he was giving my job to the foreigner. He also told me to be thankful that he was not firing me!

“This is my first pregnancy and I feel very discouraged to even think about a second one. Yet, the government is encouraging Singaporeans to deliver more.

“I have been transferred to another department and that is only because someone else from that department left. So if the person did not leave, does that mean that I would have been jobless by now? I can’t believe that this is happening in Singapore."

I'm not generally into FT bashing because I think:

• they have contributed;
• they are just like us trying to earn a living.

I have however observed at least one instance of Singaporeans being discriminated against because:

• most of us do not care to brown nose in front of DOMs;
• the FTs (PRCs in this case) cover up each other's incompetencies.

I know of a PRC admin assistant in a semi-govt institution being given six months maternity leave with her job (and later a promotion) secure. To make sure she does not lose her place, her then immediate boss (a Singaporean) was prevented from hiring even a temp replacement. The rest of the department had to cover her duties.

What kind of worker is she to enjoy this treatment?

• She was / is often late for work.
• She is regularly on MC.
• She cannot speak English well.
• She pushes work to colleagues.
• She leaves work undone.

It was clear that almost any replacement would have been better than her and would have edged her out.

But she is also backstabbing and enjoys the protection of fellow PRC colleagues (whom she in turn supports) and they would together brown-nose in front of the ultimate DOM boss (Sg).

The immediate superior who tried to act on her inadequacies was asked to leave and replaced by a PRC - bumbling idiot who will if left unchecked bring down the organisation. It doesn't matter to the DOM boss of course because he would then be enjoying his retirement.

I welcome most FTs and have good friends originally from China, India, Malaysia and many other places in the world. In this one instant though, Singaporeans have been taken for a ride and screwed by our own people good and proper.

There is no respect for the employee... Hmm is that the norm behavior?? I don't think a first world country boss will do that.
