Hari Khamis: Majikan Nak Apa Sebenarnya?

Majikan kata mereka nak pekerja yang rajin, jujur, berani bersuara dan pandai berfikir. Tapi rajin sahaja tak cukup kalau hasil kerja tak seberapa. Jujur pun susah kalau bos tak boleh terima kebenaran. Berani bersuara pula kadang-kadang dilabel sebagai suka melawan. Pandai berfikir pun belum tentu dihargai kalau asyik mempersoalkan keputusan bos. Jadi, majikan sebenarnya nak … Read more

POV: Loyalty is Dead

An employer have been good to you. During COVD, business was terrible, but they paid your salary on time, didn’t cut pay and took care of you well. That matters and you should remember it.

Hari Khamis: Terlalu Penting Ke?

Jangan terlalu bangga menjadi orang yang terlalu penting. Macam kita tidak boleh diganti. Kalau semua kerja bergantung pada kita, adakah dia tanda kita terlalu hebat?
