IT has been couple months to speculative about our raise but never come. A lot survey conducted on this week suggest that republic's employers are willing to raise their worker's wages up to 4.5% amid inevitable inflation this year encountered. In past, our salaries would be reviewed by every 6 months under local SMEs. The pattern has been dramatically changed since one UK based MNC acquired our local one. We all had much optimistic to learn the process with the better prospect. However, the expectation has never met by new boss. Longer interval in wages review, lower welfare service, more workload but being informed no profit, etc. It's sad seeing some senior staffs have left us to find a greener pasture outside. Most of my colleagues at office are long term service, most junior even has more than 10 years service in this company.
By experience, rumour cannot be considered true especially for good news like salary increasement for us. We heard it's going to come in March this year. At the end of the month, we got pay slip that bring same amount. Again, some smelling news saying that April for sure. No different at the end of month. How do we believe in verbally pledges after witnessing like that. For May, we are seeing some senior level are getting meeting for review. Just now, I receive an email from our department head. It bring long waited news to make it official this time. Visibly, we all are happy in our face by latest news regardless of % we'll get this time. I try to convince myself that "It's better late than never". No different in this aspect. Thanks my new employer for your kind consideration that will definitely make our productivity better.
