Announcements are as good as gold? Or is it not?

From day one, we were told to work hard & strive hard for results will tell & reciprocations will come. We did that & it has been 1 year 3 months since.

October was the closing of our fiscal year & everyone was looking forward to the increment & bonus. Our MD announced that we did hit the targetted quota but the increment will have to wait till January. We were given our AWS before Christmas & even then, nothing was mentioned about bonus.

Just before Christmas, our MD once again announced that we will be getting EURO$1.3K in bonus. Everyone was disappointed with this figure as the expected amount was 2 mths salary. Nonetheless, it still beats having nothing at all.

Now it is barely 1 week away from Chinese New Year & still no confirmation about anything at all. Our necks are long from the waiting, our morals running below sea level. There are rumours spreading that there will be no bonus & no increment. Rumours from reliable sources but yet they still refuse to announce. I guess they fear this will bring down the entire service team for each of us had fought hard the whole year.

I was told long ago that people with thin lips are liars. It is on the verge of being proven right. I guess we are only worth that much to them...
