He says:

“Then on January 5, the circular stated that it ‘could only afford’ to pay 0.5 months bonus.

“It would appear to me that HR announced the one month bonus without consulting the finance guys.
“To change the payment sum suddenly, may also affect some staff badly especially the lower ranking staff - they may have already committed to use the extra 0.5 month of bonus.
“I am surprise to see such a big company acting so irresponsibly and haphazardly. I wonder what the labour union in the company say about this abrupt change.”
I am surprised too, that such a 'mistake' could have been made. Staff morale will surely be affected. tsk tsk.

Hahahaaaa..... perhaps the same fucking thing happen to a local company !!

This company I know, behaves like a MNC and thinks like a MNC but actually, it is a fucking Chinese business man company or "pop and mom shop" as the westerner calls it!!! If they can avoid paying CPF, they will do it. If they can evade or cheat on income tax, they will do it!! When I deal with them, I had to track carefully and if I could avoid doing business with them, I will avoid. First encounter, they treated you nicely and prompt in payment. Subsequently, they tried to take your advantage, they tried to swindle you, tried to hook winked you, and tried to hustle you.

During the year end meeting, the so-call CEO told the staff that the company will give 1 month bonus. After the meeting, the staff only has 1 month salary. My friend asked me what happened to the 1 month bonus as mentioned ? I told him that his boss probably regretted saying or at the spur of moment, head over heel, he said it too early. After the meeting and going through his head, he realized his mistake !! When is it coming ? It is everybody's guess !!

Gosh... you should look at my friend's face..... Sadness and disappointment was all over his face.
