To quit or not to quit?
 

Just started my new job 3 months ago. During the interview the boss assured me that I will be an assistant to a senior position. I got a pay cut of 10 per cent for this new job coz my previous job contract has ended. After working 3 months, the senior guy still hasnt been employed yet and right now I still covering the position.Yesterday my boss asked me to take over the senior position without any pay revision. Is 10 times stressful than my previous job. Feel that I been conned liaoz...Any advise?:mad:

look at the long term - there are many reasons for this move by your boss.

If it's a big company, if he can be your boss means that's something in him which he possess which others don't. So hang around for a few more months. He may just test you whether you are up to the job or not.

If it's just a SME, you may want to just look out for other jobs which able to pay you on what you are worth.

Plus many many other scenarios which me is too sleepy to type.
Leave it to other bros ba :D

Hi TS,

Upward communication ....... :)

I think the right person to ask is not us, go have a talk to your boss. Tell him exactly what you feel.

If he's a good boss, he will appreciate your feedback :D Finally, both of you can work out a better solution ...... of cos better package for yourself :D

No need to test lar. Current job is also contract scheme. Moreover is a SME which you had mention.

Re: To quit or not to quit?
 

If he is the boss, I don't think he is stupid to do this to you. Could he be testing you out? Are you the kind of worker that have more work and demand more pay immediately?

SME usually values the staff, esp those with ability more than MNC. I don't think you should quit so hastily, may want to spend more time to observe the work environment and other colleagues, and at the same time, take this opportunity as a good time to show your ability, treat it as a learning experience...if things really don't work out, say after 1 year, you can leave and find another job, and your resume will look better.

If it is a contract job just bear with it for the time being. At the same time look out for better job opportunites. You still need money for your daily needs and bonking.

Bro kim-seng-heng, though your are under contractual employment. Ask yourself why you took a 10% pay cut for this job?

My advice is to strategically insert yourself to gain new skills, growing responsibilities and visibility. Meet with your boss from time to time where you ask how are you doing? If it is mostly positive, point out that you are interested in growing your career to a permanent basis and appreciate the new responsibilities. Is it possible for an increase in pay or variable? As things improve and if you do not get either, and are doing a good job and handling your role responsibly, take the skills you have learned when your contract expire and start looking for a new job. Often the best steps to career growth is to go to another company periodically. However, DO NOT burn bridges. It is a very small world.

Anyway, look on the bright side and aside from issues of exploitation and unfairness, your issue is "Pay Raise" is "Not A Pay Cut." You new "title" is "Still Employed." :):D

Cheer up and good luck! :)

Whether there will be senoir to cover back is still in question.
Are you happy working there? say there is a senoir later on.
Will you be happy.

Whatever decision make....just be happy with the outcome.

Introduce a chio FL to your boss and get him KCed till a state which he'll quit instead of you quiting.
Or get yourself KCed by a FL and then you'll be posting a more relevant thread here ;)

WTF you're posting your company's website in your sig and even have a nick after it?! Or is that the company you're in now? Interesting agenda... :confused:

Re: To quit or not to quit?
 

Bro, is it true, and you tried yourself before? if yes please share your successful story here so bros here can earn more $$$ and fuck more horny FL :p:D

Very creative suggestion, and sbf is getting more exciting.

Back to the TS's topic, if your are happy with the arrangement and see potentials in the future, then stay there, you may be in the senior position yourself ; otherwise just look around whiling working and jump ship when opportunities comes

Don‘t think too much, just "骑驴找马“

First of all what is your age?
If you are young then there are many oppertunity to grow.

Politics
Politics happen in every company. You see the dog, you see the fox and you see the wolf. You change another company it still exsit

Pay
Please consider your annual income rather than monthly income. You may have enough basic to survive monthly but you may have very big bonus e.g. 6 to 12mths.

Convinence
What is the time taken for travelling to work place.

Nature of Job
Need more detail before any advice is given.
