Understood your points stated. It is fine with me not to get the 'extra' incentive. I learned it is company culture and it is right thing to do for the management to set the record straight. Thank you again for your time and I am grateful that I have learned a lot during my time with the company. Cheers! JoAnne

Subject: Re: Feedback Dear Joanne, Bonus is totally extra and not part of the employment contract. One of the main reason is to use the rare resouce to encourage the team
continue to contribute to the company in the coming year. It is the company long standing policy to only distribute to staffs who have not serve notice of resignation at the point of bonus announcement. The company need to be consistant in our management practice. We would like to thank you for your service while your were with us. rgds ----- Original Message ----- From: Joanne Zhao Juan Wen Date: Friday, March 30, 2007 1:06 pm
Subject: Feedback Dear Mr. xxx and Mr. xxxxx, I learned from colleagues that staff who resign in March will not be getting any bonus. It is quite surprising to me because after working for the whole year, all of us, on the high or low ladder of the company want to get rewarded for the hard work put in. I do understand that bonus is for rewarding staff's hard work and performance. I did get bonus for the year 2004, and 2005,therefore I think I have a strong reason to demand for the bonus for 2006, because I worked much harder myself having gained much more knowledage and experiences and not like a fresh graduate, I contributed to the company more. With the above reason, I would like to see if I am thinking a staff who came on board in last July(an example) I belive he will get bonus on prorated basis because he did not resign in March. But if he resigned in April for certain reason, how does company see this issue? If staff work for whole year and end up getting no bonus they will leave with regret.In the long run, it is not beneficiary to the company.That is my personal opinion. For my case, I resigned in a hurry because I was in the middle of discussion with company to see any opening for internal transfer
while my renting contract with my landlord came to an end and I had to make a quick decision before mid March(also one month notice in advance). What is why I was kinda pushed to submit my resignation letter quickly since I am heading to Shanghai. Thank you for your precious time and patience! Hope I did not offend you by any unintentional improper words? I look forward to a favorable reply.I think I deserve the bonus, regardless the amount,(because I understood it is also based on our group performance.) In the past 1.5 years, my supervisor kept on changing for some restructuring reason but I do believe Mr. Tang and my team know well about my work and some people from SUN also knows my working sytle.Basically as an employee I firstly believe in giving before I ask.You may want to refer to them for a performance review. With warm regards, 对话: NATURE TELLS ME 是我

Ｉ ＭＡＤＥ ＭＹ ＰＥＡＣＥ． Timetable for March and April- Work & PlayWent to S'pore Botanic Garden with father yesterday and again it impressed me. I really like it so much. I am really going to miss this giant garden in the hustle bustle of Orchard Road. I saw a lot of non-working ladies with their babies, sitting there enjoying the sunshine and breeze. Most of them are probably wives of those expats here. I think time spent with the nature definitely is more valuable than with the people and work. Everytime I find myself so joyful and cheerful in the setting of Nature. Nature tells me I am so trivia and a passer-by. But I need to make it a wonderful journey!
Having enjoyed Jurong Bird Park, and Botanic Garden, we will hit our road to Zoo and Night Safari on Saturday! Many wonderful pictures to share with you guys. Wait until April!
March 2007 Time Table
17th Dad arrived picked him up at the Changi Airport
18th CityHall, Esplanade, Suntec city (fountain of fortune) and Marina Square by MRT
20th pm Jurong Bird Park
22nd Airticket to Shanghai (single trip super expensive but no choice, to sync with dad's departure time), Chinatown, Clark Quay, Fullurton Hotel, Singapore river etc. but no time for Tiong Bahru, the place I stayed for almost 1 year.
23rd Picking up the bulky item from Singapore Post, cleaned teeth, and rested home
24th Japanese lunch at Toa Payoh, marched to Orchard Road, shopped a bit in Taka, and moved around before heading to Little India for some temple viewing and Indian cuisine. (Father never likes it though, while I am so fond of it.)
25th home stay-cramps and no chance to go to Chinese/Japanese Garden, Ladeside and dinner in Jurong Point as planned
27th Vivocity and Sentosa Island. Caught the first day public performance of Song of the Sea, music fountain newly devised with an investment of 30 million SGD. Father is lucky~ with my good plan. Took the monorail, the whole new experience to get to the island. Fun!! with underwater world and dohphin lagoon. Dinner at the new food square...beside the sea. Really relaxed and soothing style.
29th botanic garden! As introduced above. For more visual impression, please see my album.
31st Zoo, day time zoo and night Safari, the world first. I will take dinner esp. in the zoo when the dusk is falling... with tribal performance. Really another world~ You will forget about your whereabout and totally engrossed in the forest setting~! Here is some info. of my plan next month, when 5th is my last working day (That is next Thursday. And Friday will be Good Friday, well that is really GOOD~~~!!!! Well my company played a trick on me. I resigned in March and my bonus will be held back by them and I will not be rewarded for the past year hard work. Well, I won't negotiate with them. I will leave with grace. It is their failture to have the employee leave with feelings against them. It will not affect me much. After all, I am still young and promising and bonus/money is just means for the end.) and dear friends! I have quitted my current job and I am going to be free like a bird for a short while enjoying some more nature and relaxation. My tentative plan is to so some yoga in Shanghai admist GMAT test preparation.
OK here is my agenda for next week:(first week of April)
Father and I will go to Bangkok from 7th till 12th, April. Here is the hotel we are going to stay in. Thanks to Joe who booked the hotel near his home for us!
We will be arriving at Bangkok at around 1:35 pm local time on 7th, and Joe will be receiving us from the Airport and sending us to the hotel. He will resume working and a friend of his probably will probably tour guide us to the market. We will go back to the hotel waiting for Joe to pick us up again after 8 pm for a Thai Thai massage session. Dinner can be done around that time or earlier. After that, it will be time to rest a bit for a brand new next day.
It is Sunday on 8th. Joe will pick us up from the hotel and drive to the water market. Depending on the destination, it takes 1 or 2 hours to get there. Will try to finish the water market excersion at early afternoon and come back to Bangkok to see some of the palaces. Probably we will see the palace recommended by Joe. We will have dinner on the boat while viewing the beautiful palace and temples in the dusk... When the darkness falls, we will either go for a night market or for some massage, again. Thai food can be obtained from time to time as we go by differenct places.
We check out on 9th am, and will take a bus to Koh Samet. We will to go the Sai Kaeo Beach, the most famous and beautiful beach along the island. The route is: Bangkok bus station to Ferry Port---->Ferry Port via ferry to National Park Entrance---->Sai Kaeo Beach. I hope I can book a bungalow on the spot. Otherwise we will have to book a fancy hotel. Basically on Monday, the demand is not that strong. We will be enjoy the 'diamond sands' and Thaifood in the ocean breeze, and under the coconut trees. Well, I will choose a short one. People all know that sitting below a fruitful tall coconut tree is extremely dangerous. The higher it is the worse the fall, of the coconut. Haha...I really miss the sands, the leisurely film hut, the cheerful tree leavs waving to me when I was treking and the luscious pan cake with banana!~ At night time, we can sit down to view the performance of fire while sipping some soda water (lifting up the body while containing the minimum caffine.) Still remember we celebrate the birthday with Jim in May 2005. Jim, Dirk and I wandered around on foot in the evening, eating prata, pancakes, and in the day time we rode motocycle and printed our footprint everywhere along the coastal line. It was really the best time I have had.(Later Dirk told me that was the first time he had rode a motocycle-really quite crazy. I was riding on the back seat, doing some stunts like standing up and waving my handband, etc. :P) Time to review and re-impress!~ This will be a 3-day experience. We will check out on 12 pm and take the reverse route to get back to Bangkok. Arriving in Singapore at around 12 am and will check in hotel again arranged by YS. 2 nights stay while my last day will be for a dinner with Sally, my first and most kind landlady. On early 14th we will depart for the airport and fly back to Shanghai~! First time ever I will be flying with someone together to my hometown... I guess I will not cry~! I will make a comeback! heheeeee
No plans for Shanghai yet... Mainly to focus on GMAT and yoga to remove migraine. Seeing some Chinese Traditional doctors for cramps too. Those are the major pains in my life. ^^

(Joke) Anyway I am not feeling the fluke for making this popular decision of quitting the job. It is totally based on personal need and life path. Af all my company trained me and I am like a tough stone ground smooth. In many ways. My character was certainly tuned, finer I hope. And my way of thinking defnitely has absorbed the culture here, which I believe I have reminded myself of discretion problem.
Yes my fellow colleagues in the technical team are leaving in force. Surprisingly after I submitted the resgination letter, I heard Derr., Vel., Mike, are leaving around the same time. Today is Der.'s last day. He came one month later then I did in 2004 and now he leaves a little bit earlier than I am doing. Quite an coincidence! Maybe it is young people! Those who are married, and those who are here for more than 5 years will never leave due to their need for stability and their privilige of being a senior employee being relatively higher paid.
But the problem is telents are draining (hope I am one of them^^). It certainly has something to do with the money incentive. But other than that, it is more of a factor of sense of achievement and being recognized.
During my stay here for 2.5 months, my supervisor kept on changing. My leave approval and performance assessment is done by different bosses and the boss who I report to on daily work was not the one who gave me performance review due to a suddent change in their management structuring. This certainly put a big damper on my confidence in my future- who is going to satnd up and speak up for me for my hard work and efforts when I am not even sure who is my boss? Something more astonishing happened.Then on another turn, the boss who reviewd and recommended my pay rise quitted his job because of some dramatic changes in their management positioning. Even senior managers are not sure about where they are going. I still remember in D&D, I ulshered in guests including Tang, who said to me No worries JoAnne soon I will find my seat. I could somehow sense the double meaning. Totally chaos in the managment and how can people downstairs feel secure and setteled and protected.
As a distribution-natured company, we do not own proprietary technology and we are constently shouted at by the vendors because they are the ones who give us business to do. The management thus will never compromise their good ties with the vendors and thus it is not possible for them to protect our interest once there is any disputes/conflicts on workloads between us and vendor partners. We are actually colleagues standing on the same line selling products to the reseller/end customer but as a distributor we have to do more because we are dependant. It is a sad story for us people in the not so high level of hierarchy of the company coz once the management gives directives we are the ones to follow with much more work, pains, frustration. That is what I concluded after working here. This is only No.1 point.
The other serious issue is pay issue. As I observed, senior employees never resign but the highly mobile workforce are those who have been working here for less then 2 years, on average. Some leaves on a more firm and decisive character after working here for less then half a year, or a quarter. It is because people are came in years back started with relatively better pay during those thriving years and as years goes by their salary never got cut but increased. To date, no body standing on those 'old' positions are willing to leave due to the good comfort zone type of jobs they have- good pay, routine job scope, and relatively not-so-bad benefits. For new/late comers, the story has never been the same- low start pay, increment by percentage based on the low basic salary, and the recent years constant change of managements here and there. People do not see a prosperous future with those drastic changes which affects the morale, and also the confidence. When the pay is not so satisfying, people really see no reason why they stay on... That is point No.2.
No3. is jealousy or politics. I remember reading our own company post, reporting manangers commenting on company culture- the extent of politics is almost next to none. It is not true. There are certainly competition or tension in the email exchanges between those guys on the similar ladder, and between the higher standing ones and the catching up ones. I feel knowledge is not well shared since people are afraid to sharing and becoming not so scarce. It is not healhty and sustainable approach for an IT company like us. We do no own our own-branded technology and yet we are not willing and ready to share knowledge in the fear that people will catch up. It is totally a big barrier to the team spirit and thus the advance of the whole group. Managers are not so generous with prasies and recognition of the outstanding performance by the staff for whatever psychological fear. Only when problem arises, we feel the panic and the impact of lack of good communication and sharing. Communication is essential to any kind of relationship. Good communication and sharing impart the team with a lot more confidence, solidarity and will to over come adversity at bad times. This is certainly something lacking in here, due to people's emotions in the workplace that is supposed to be professional. Emotiones are inevitable but are subdued when well managed with scientific approach of communication, sharing, listening and encouragement. There is always an big deal about positive enchancement, not only applicable to the children...
Now HP team is left with 2 engineers, and SUN team with Susan pressurized and exploited due to their unfiar perception of inexpensive 'China or India' labors. When you give people a good life with due respect in the form of commensurate pay, well planned schedule, are people willing to serve longer happinly. Nobody can keep on working like slaves, going home dog tired and at the month end receiving small paylist.
As for myself, it is time I took a break, to think about the things to do next after these 2.5 years working. Maybe it is time to upgrade myself a bit, here and there, physically and academically. LOL.
Upgrading work in progress~ Sorry for the inconvenience caused...~~~(Have to live off parents for a while la~).

And they charged at me and crashed into me. I felt so happy. But somehow I found myself too big to hide and not as nimble as them to climb up and down, here and there. I felt so exhausted when I tried to climb up a fence which they easily squeezed themselves through. I woke up! 3月14日 Damanding JoJO Maybe?^^Remember when I was buying books,
I looked for books with no dog ears, Made sure there is no broken part, and all is well aligned in printing etc. That was my middle school years, when I was a bookbug.
The shop assistant made friends with me as I was a patron of her shop. One day she said:
a yioooo. you are so particular in choosing a book-a lot of physical check and content assessment;
when you grow up you will be demanding too when you look for a husband!
Now it is time----
And I recall what she said,which was shrugged off by a laugh then
She might be very right, as it turned out to be ture? I always maintained that the guys I have met are (most of them) so demanding and perfectionist. Maybe I am worse/better^^ as I just realized these days? But isn't that a good sign?
Mama pointed out that the threshold for me was very high. But it benefits no matter what!
Just some thinking when I am working in the same time...(R. said to me. Ohyiooo I am so busy, JoAnne can you help me with this and that?- Well I will work for the sake of myself wherever I am now.) 3月13日 狂欢是一群人的孤单 孤单是一个人的狂欢爸爸要来了 带他去泰国岛上重温一下最快乐的日子! 想不到过了2年我就回去了...呀.DIRK和JIM说好了同我一起在8年重游故地的~~ 看来我的心愿实现了!(我当时想我才不要8年来^^)
- I AM A CREATURE OF HABIT, ALWAYS REVERTING TO GOOD OLD PLACES.
然后! 我计划一个人去旅行! 越南, 老挝, 和缅甸+Combodia(any combination 或者 ALL)
旅行期为期一月或更久(起始日为下月中旬)-哦不要问我HOW AND WHY?
大概想是去佛教圣地 净化心灵(听起来我的心灵不纯洁似的?)
已经做了很多目的地的调查和研究了喔~哇哈哈!!
志同道合者 请报名与我为伍
出发点新加坡/上海(SECONDARY)
希望我出来的时候不是NAN, 也不是YOGA MASTER (没有去印度)哈哈~~!!
"我一个人吃饭旅行到处走走停停..." 想不到我一直K的歌(在家里K的) 要实现了哦!! 事在人为!
mama说她看了很紧张我的安全, 我忘记说了, 我跟旅行团呢~~ 哎, 真丢人, 这么大了还是妈妈,妈妈的... 没办法呀... 自虐的自杀的都想想自己的父母就不会了! 我更加不会的妈妈你放心好了~~
 会给大家看照片的!
哎哟哟, 要借个DC...要拍马屁去了呀! 之前的都摔了.如同我的S.E.手机一样.
Anyway today's horoscope reading:
Cancer
June 22 - July 22 You are speeding along in your vehicle and suddenly there is a huge ramp in front of you, dear Cancer. You have the choice of avoiding the ramp, staying on the ground where you know that it is safe and clear, and being content with a very limited view of the world. Another choice, however, is to hit that ramp head-on and let it send you soaring up over the trees and beyond. Who knows where you might land? There is an incredible adventure waiting for you when you take that leap into the unknown.
De Ja Vu~~ Teddy Bear Told Me So?
3月1日 Nortel Event in Q BarJim has arrived in Singapore. A bad friend to him. I have been sick and could not find a time for lunch or dinner with him.
Attended Nortel Partner Appreciation Party in Q Bar. It is really new in Raffle's place--the museum right on the Singapore River, with in the approximity of Clark Quay. Anyway reserved the Q bar coupon for him...haha...bar people they are...
Wine with small tarts (cream with carvia, smoke sarlmon, or pickle) as snacks before the 'Lor Hey(?) meaning the toss', followed by buffet dinner enriched with games, lucky draws, speech by Nortel key persons and best sales person awards. Two guys. Remember K. told me his stock with Nortel was bad? :O opps! I got called up to the stage as they got a luck draw prize for me- a bottle of 2005 vintage Australia wine. ;) Problem is everytime I pretend to be a lady appreciate wine, I got stomachcramp. Today was not exceptional. Observed people from the corner. Talked to people came to me. Listened to excellent motivating speeches from the management to their own team and partners... Learning is lifetime process, anywhere anytime.
Got rib pain after taking the anti-biotics with a sip or red wine. Bad chemical reaction!!! Ran into Mcdonald to drink a cup of hot milo and felt an immediate recovery... Continued with Ruth and Dinesh to march to the MRT. Passed by Indochine located in Asian Civilization Museum, a place of good memory. Ruth has good experience. Thankful to her medical advice. In MC, i left my bag of Nortel T-shit on another desk. Dinesh made a good joke " Please do not leave your belongings unattened. If you spot any suspected article, please report to our staff or call jojojo." haha...it is so funny for a non-mandarin speaking person to say the 999-jojojo. Quoting the train anti-terrorism broadcast. He is also a lucky guy here today, got a bottle of wine as well.
Everywhere I go, I try to print what I see in my mind. On the way home, with the rain, my tears dropped, feeling very nostalgic already of Singapore, of the people I will miss forever......
But I will believe my family needs me more than my selfish motive of enjoying life in a fine city. Shanghai is my birthplace and I appreciate it as well, if not more with the people I love and loving me within my reach.
I have composed a small paper of points for my discussion with my 'O'. Hope I will have good luck. Strong words and points to make my way!! |
