Tired....

I am freaking tired. Pst Tan mentioned in a previous service that 6-7 hrs of sleep is suffient for a person as statistics show that those getting 6-7 hrs of sleep a day lives longer than those with less than 4 hrs or more than 8 hrs of sleep a day. I do get about 6-7 hrs of sleep everyday. Should be sufficient what. Why am I still feeling so tired? Maybe it's stress.

Another staff have left. There has been some misunderstanding. She may think we are mean. But we actually meant well. Note, all staffs have to go through 3 months of confirmation period when they start working for us. She's was still in her 3 months confirmation (been working for us for about 2+ mths - 10 weeks & 1 day to be exact) yet she has already taken quite a number of MCs/unpaid leave on top of her normal off days. There are also days she wanted to take unpaid leave but wasn't allowed to. None of our previous staffs ever taken a single MC/leave during that confirmation period. How can we confirm her like that? No matter which company you are working for, if you keep taking MCs/leave, sooner or later you will ask to leave the company. It doesn't matter how long you have been working in the company. But we knew her condition and close one eye about it. After some discussion, we feel that it's better for her to work part-time so as to have some time to rest. So decided to convert her to work part-time instead. If she really needs the money and wants to work full time, she would have to do so somewhere else (we already have a full-timer and her pay is much lower. we couldn't afford another one since business is still bad). But she got angry and scolded my mum with some nasty words. No matter how unhappy you are with your boss, you are not to scold him/her (unless you are prepared to go). Like that how are we to keep her even if it's only to work part time.

One thing about Singaporeans is that they can only work part time or full time for a temporary period (6 mths the most). Then we've the problem of having to look for new staffs and retrain them. We can't keep retraining people every few mths. We've got more important things to do. Even if they can work permanently full time, they are either going on MCs regularly or having to take a few days leave. As such we have no choice but to employ a foreigner (from china) to work full-time (moreover their basic pay is lower) and a couple of part-timers.

Left with me and the somewhat new staff from china (she told us she can come to work everyday, don't have to take any day off since she has nothing else to do). Though it's just 2 of us, we can handle. After all 2 in the shop is already enough, 3 is too many.

That irritating woman is at it again. Complained about our music and us doing promotion (our 1st anniversary promotion). As if our promotion is affecting her. We are not even competitors since we are selling different things. Our music is not even that loud. No one's complaining except her. Some even ask us to turn the volume up. She doesn't (more like dare not) come to tell us directly but call and complain to the suntec mgmt and ask them to send someone to tell us. At least the mgmt staff who came down is very friendly and tried to explain herself. The other time, one of the mgmt staff just shouted at me and then walked off. What kind of attitude is that? Can't she even say it nicely. Getting tired with that stupid irritating woman and all her complaining. Don't she ever get tired? We are tired of her and can't even be bothered anymore.

Forget about those uneventful things.

As I said earlier, we are currently doing promotion. But there's no crowd, what's the use of having promotion. Think everyone is waiting for the GSS period to buy things. Have to wait about another month i guess. And bear with the quietness for now.
