salam everyone..
i've been wanting to write about this and glad that i hv the time now.. :)
as mentioned before, i went to jakarta in july and september tis year.. both trips i had to be in jakarta for 7-8 days.. lama gak kan.. the subject matter above actually refers to my july trip..
b4 leaving mcm biasa dpt meal allowance and cash advance. the cheque was for 2 pax, and the cheque was under my name. therefore clearance for advance has to be made by me, meaning i hv to b d one to detail out all the expenses made using the cash adv. fair enough. i did juz tat.
in tis co, we hv to submit our claims b4 6th every mth.. since i reached msia on 11th july (whc is after 6th july), means i hv to wait for my claim in my aug salary la kan.. i did my cash advance detail and balance to return within that same week.. siap bank in duit balance to the company on tat same week.. efficient giler yg sgt merugikan diri sdri akhirnya..
sometime b4 25th of july, our HR dept requested for lots of things yg sblm ni travel x pernah lak mintak.. but bcoz i juz want it to be over with, i obliged.. at the same time, i submitted my phone bill claim as well as my bill became so high - all due to international usage. of course, i only claimed those used for work.
then pay day came.. to my shock, none of the claim is there. so i asked. only then baru nk bgtau xbleh process sbb some items in the cash advance return form tu is not claimable. maknanyer kena pakai duit sdri. of course i didnt agree. mmg byk taxi kat jakarta xde receipt. bukan salah aku kan. and then we had our event kat hotel, and tis gov officer from jakarta ofc ckp it is a custom there to tip the manager and his staff yg da byk tolong (walaupun tu keje diaorg). and the tip is not small. we're not talking about 2-3 ringgit tau.. we're talking about hundred..
i then asked about my phone bill claim. bleh plak diaorg kata takde.. and it is actually a habit of them to lose staff's application for claim/advance/leave/etc. so i was angry la. when i went to their ofc, bila minah tu tarik je my advance form tu, terus nmpk my phone bill.. maxis kan warna hijau biru.. mmg immediately la recognize my own bill. i suppose my facial expression showed how angry i was even though i didnt shout at her. at tat point of time, it took all the willpower i had to supress my anger towards her.
Me: ok I understand the advance part, buy why didn’t you process my claim?
HR : co policy to hold claim when advance is not cleared
Me: what? But it is 2 totally different things. 1 pulangkan duit co, 1 claim for my phone bill.
HR: sorry. Kalau 1 nama, kita process sekali je.
Me: so bila nk process? (suara da mula lain)
HR: bln depan masuk kak.
Me: fine. (walked out)
At tis point of time I cudnt contain my anger any longer. If I had stayed in that room for another second, I’d definitely explode. My phone bill was nearly RM2.6K. it was beyond my credit limit. I had to use data to receive work emails into my blackberry. Itu yg buat bill melambung tu. But it was all for work kan.
A few days down the road… (to be continued)
