Asian Work Values

Asian values: The longer hour you work, the more committed you are, the more hardworking you are. So please stay back daily and clock in more 'productive' hours! That seems to be the message I get these days. Is it the same for you as well? An enlightening thought indeed.

Dear Lengzhai Boss, if you're reading this, from today onwards, all your request will take 3 times longer then usual, cause PPA needs to earn a bigger bonus this year by doing more OT so that I will be rewarded for being hardworking and committed and give the impression that I am doing more work then others :P

  1. Dear PPA,

    I totally agree with what you have said. From henceforth, your lengzai and dearest boss shall also follow your example, but minus the OT part cos I am too darn lazy to waste my life away just to OT (without pay somemore!)

    :P

  4. In most established company, there are clear well-defined KPIs to measure the staff performance and it must be sign-off by both parties - the manager and subordinate. The KPIs must be measurable. If they cannot be measure, it simply means that you are working in a lousy stupid organisation. This type of organisation will eat you alive.

  6. Overtime can be measured, and can be plotted into a graph. But what does it imply when you work more OT? More hard working? Or more inefficient? hmmmmm

    Btw, here's a nice link on KPI, from my friend's site :)
