We are always told to bear with it, to work together, to understand. Who is going to tell the employer to understand the lateness of his staff? Who is going to compensate the man who is penalized financially by the lateness – whether because he is an hourly rated worker or if he missed an important appointment thanks to the breakdown? We are always having to understand difficulties, but all you have to do is to apologise for inconveniences suffered? And be paid millions for it? On the other hand, the ordinary person who may lose money for this inconvenience– something that often causes real pain, are just told to bear with it? To move on? How can you even understand what losing $20 mean to a daily rated worker, when the value of money has become so cheap to you who earn so much?
I am feeling very discouraged. The issues surroundingSMRTare really similar to the issues surrounding many government policies. We cannot focus on money alone, whether in terms of profit orGDPor in terms of paying the top man obscene amounts of money. The focus has to be the well being of the citizenry.
Anyway what’s the point of my ranting? When Gerard Ee proposes new ministerial salary, I am steeling myself to see a token reduction. Leopards do not change their spots.
However, a straw can definitely break the camel’s back. There is only so much people can bear.
