People losing their job, but i'm quitting mine?

[FrostyBoy]

I wonder if i'm doing the wrong thing by quitting, but my boss has unfairly issued this years bonus's. Everyone will be getting theirs, but I won't be because of my condition as a foreigner (government rules, not offices).

But I call bull****. If I do not get my bonus, I threaten to quit. I don't know how it will turn out, i'm quite positive he will have no choice but to give it to me as I am pretty much the company's only life-support.

Let the war begin..

I don't know. Quitting over something out of his control, in these times...at least think more about it.

Key question: Have you put up with this in past years?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

You get other perks by being a foreigner working in Singapore, I'd imagine (I'm guessing you don't pay into CPF, for example, though I could be wrong). At any rate, if it's the government's rule, I don't see why you're whinging about your boss. And if it's the Government of Singapore's rule, I can't see how you expect the situation to change.

Christ man! First you drive a girl to suicide and now your demanding a bonus during a recession. It's always about you and your god damn Chicago subways in London, isn't it? You sicken me.

By law, I must receive a minimum amount every month. Because of recession, boss has cut everyone's pay, I told him it falls below my minimum required. So he said he will use my bonus to pay off the difference for whatever number of months. But the way it works out, is that it's only written on paper that I receive the minimum, in the hand, I still get the same as everyone else (the cut), the only difference is, I don't get the bonus.

So you see, I have been cheated out of it. It's bull****.

It's not my fault American's can't pay their way.

Bonus is mandatory.

[Riesstiu IV]

I've seen your work and you don't deserve a bonus! Not now, not ever!!

[SlowwHand]

Bonus is mandatory.

Evidently not.

[DaShi]

I say do it. I'm curious as to how this will turn out.

[Dr Strangelove]

If you quit your job will you be deported?

[FrostyBoy]

If I don't find another job, yes. But the smart thing to do is to just cross over to Malaysia for a day or two, then return to Singapore for another month, which I can extend to 3 months given permission.

Anyway, problem solved. Came to an agreement he could not refuse. Now my trip back to New Zealand will be fulfilled.
