This was discussed during lunch with friends.
We were laughing at the article we read in a local daily in the morning about company expect to give out 30 percent increment in salary/bonuses this year.
No doubt as there are some company been seen doing this, the majority are not.
My friends were laughing.They have not been getting any increment since two years ago. No bonuses either.
Both used to work with big company which gave out two month bonus minimum annually. This year that company had given out more than that and according to an ex-colleague who went to pursue her career at the big company, she got five figures bonus for only been there a year.
As what another friend say," Either you work because you passionate or you work because of the money. Choose which one that makes you happy. Happiness comes first,"
So now, my two friends, are thinking of changing jobs both in their late 20s and mid 30s.
Loyalty is a passe. They were saying why they stuck with the same company for years. Both were being sentimental. They were so attach with the company. They believe that it still can make the impact. I listen lot most of the time. oh well..whatever you do my friends..think about it and do what best. You got to take care of yourself and Im going to choke the person who said money is not important. You got to be kidding man. You need it as much as you need the air unless you live in hutan kalimantan with only leaves to cover your private parts. With all the bills the loans(education, car, housing,personal) I wish I can pluck the leaves and pay the bills with it. ahahah I wish.
