ONE WEEK after working, HR manager who is also younger sister of lady boss called me to discuss about my salary. I am currently working at the downstair where all executive and engineers are working and I heard a lot about her and noted that everybody is afraid of her. So I braved myself to face her and wait in the meeting room for her coming in. Usually office staff lady informs us what to do now and next before HR manager take into action. She is also a lawer graduate from UK and good at english skill. Her size is bigger and taller than me at least double.
Once she came in, I stand up and greet her respectfully. She take a seat infront of me positioning face to face. She bring along some documents seems all my data and continue talking as follow:
HR : you are ZIN MIN NYEIN, right?
me: yes madam
HR : What is your post here?
me: according to agent and interview in yangon, I am supposed to work here as "site supervisor"
HR: ok, she is taking note, tell me what did you do in your country.
me: I usually worked as a quantity surveyor despite I am engineering graduate.
HR: alright, what's your professional?
me: I am B.E (Civil Engineering) from local university.
HR: How long have you been working in construction industry?
me: 5 years altogether, madam
HR: immm, not bad
me: I still don't know what I need to do and how much I am paid for my service.
HR: yes you have to follow company's pay structure.
me: How is it?
HR: you will earn RM-450 a month for first 3 probation period as a trainee worker.
me: I can't agree that, madam
HR: why? it's a must (she started to lose her temper)

HR: but you can't do what you like in my company.
me: yes I know but....

HR: Do you know that our company does not recommend your degree

me: I just demand what your MD & agent have promised
HR: how much they promised you before you come here?
me: RM-1350 + OT if I am needed to work on site, RM-1800 fixed salary if I need to work office
HR: you will have to get one thing to get this salary.
