cheeky....ungrateful

About a year ago, a guy came to us asking for a job. He was unhappy with his previous company as he stated he was underpaid. So he came to us, and since we were in need of a staff in JB, we took him in. Initially he was doing great. His compliance was good. Four months later, he started to slack a bit. Then he left without completing his task leaving lots of uncompleted files.

We were understaff and pretty desperate for someone to help us out when he decided to leave. Apparently, a few months later, he pleaded to come back and work with us as he was unhappy with the company that he was attached to. After a few discussion and promises from his part, he came back and did his task wonderfully.

In his letter of employment, it is clearly stated that if he does not achieve his monthly target, he pay is only such n such amount as the nature of his pay is based upon completed files/assignments. He has never achieve his target unfortunately. We wrote to him asking for explaination and fell into deft ears. Hence, in May 2010, we only pay the portion of his completed assignments.

He subsequently left and went straight to the labour office claiming that he was underpaid. He even went to the extent of claiming June 2010 full month salary.

And I was thinking to myself, no doubt that some of it is our fault in having such person like him in our organization. But what struck me most is the ungratefulness of a person like him after pleading to us for a job. He came to us for a job, we gave him a job and you did not complete it. Is it logically for us to pay you for not doing your job?

Now, the labour office for reason unknown to many, will always favour the employees. So who protects the right of the employers? Does the employers does not have the right to penalize employees for not completing his or her job? It was stated clearly in the letter of appointment that if he/she is unable to achieve his or her target as stipulated by the management, the management has the right to pay him in apportion of his completed task. Mind you, 80% of his work are not completed.

I'm very disappointed with such people with such attitude. These kind of people just wanna have an easy ride and take their pay and leave. No wonder why we can't progress.

Well, let's go and sort it out in the court then. It is a matter of principles. When you can't complete your task, don't expect us to be kind enough to pay you the money that you don't deserve. When others can achieve, it is illogical that you can't....

what an ungrateful little &%@*^$d!!!!
