show me the money honey

I am considerably concerned about my salary which has taken eons to arrive due to a newspaper article I read yesterday, The Straits Times, Home section front page.

What else but The Grangeford.

I admit that the first selfish thought I had after reading was, "Shit then my pay how??" Considering I am not working there anymore, and from the experience for the past 2 months, wages have to be personally requested from the lady boss, best on the 7th of each month, when the company is wealthiest having collect rent during that period. Plus, she is always on the move, so people who come to collect pay/commission from her have to wait for her to return or consider themselves making a wasted trip.

When Ivy and I quitted mid-May, we were assured we would get our pay earlier than the usual 7th of the month, which was latest by last Wednesday. But now I am still broke. :( The HR in-charge just replied my email where she said that lady boss would drop in the cheque for us then. I am not really appeased with the reply as their word had been broken once already.

What made me antsy was that the article mentioned that they had a lot to pay to the tenants of The Grangeford, including rental deposits and compensation. That, on top of the loss they had incurred by tearing down the partitions and the whole lot of renovation they had done. That's a hell lot of money.

This, I suspect, may be one of the reasons why we are yet to be paid. However, while I empathize with them, I still do not think it's a viable excuse to put off paying their staff, especially in times of crisis where the more pragmatic people might suddenly tender their resignation and leave the company to fend for itself. How's that for morale boosting. Chaos might ensue.

But all in all, my thinking is that no matter what scenario a company is facing, it should never compromise on it's integrity as credibility is extremely important for a company which is experiencing rapid growth and do not want to crash back down to square one due to a moment of procrastination.

Yes so... I WANT MY FUCKING PAY!!! If not I can only sit back and watch the GSS speed pass me.

On a random note my whole body is fucking aching and I have no idea why. -_- On top of the pilates stretches. Gah I think I am going to develop a cold. :( And on top of that my digestive system has to weaken, which to look at the silver lining, I might be able to shed a couple of kilos heheh.

Note to self: Must save up for a full ds by this year! Though I'm not quite sure which are the better brands. Yamaha??

I abruptly bid farewell.
