Thank you Singapore

THERE is a Burmese saying that "I am not bad if you are good". I don't have a practice of smile easily. Perhaps it is bad practice. After finding several unfairness in work, it become more persist on me to smile to my fellow colleagues. I paid attention on my job during working hours. If I have nothing to do, I would surf so that I could able to remain at my desk. There are a lot of bully, abuse, racist at the job. We would be easy target since we are immigrant workers from inferior country.

I know it from experience that the law would not be enforced if the offender is close to superior/management. Where got no one is above the law? Probably in the book only we may find. I may be pessimist for my thought. But you will never sympathize without exposure of the same feeling. We are frequently intimidated by locals in some ways at a time. The local people would avoid to argue or clash between them. But they would not hesitate to score/blame at inferiors. When it step down, they would be united among same races, Chinese to Chinese, Indian to Indian. They would tell us not to speak our mother tongue at work while they always enjoying theirs. They would quickly switch the language if the case is going to be wrong due to their fault. At another point, they would score us by their own language. We could sometime feel by behavior, not necessarily physical abuse.

Yesterday, HR manager asked people to join in one colleague's Birthday celebration. It is about to sing Birthday song as usual. I feel that is not fair and don't want to join. Thus, I risk of her anger by choosing not to join. She said, she won't ask other when it come to my turn. Never mind, as it never come to me by office. My official Birthday has been passed few months ago and there was no such activities in office. Then, HR recognizes on other colleague's Birthday doesn't mean it is correct way, to my opinion. We don't know what is real HR policies toward all employees. I feel that it all depend on personal feeling of few person. As a MNCs, it shouldn't be like that within management. But it really really happening to my workplace. I don't know why such thing happening to our world, especially when they speak loud that they are world's leading specialist in one particular building technology.

Thank you, Singapore for making me a mature cautious guy.
