i believe many of you heard that my company has hired china drivers, but how many of you have heard that my company has sent china drivers back to china on the day they were dismissed?
it's scary. i shall not go onto the details on why they were dismissed. but when my manager told them the news they broke down. they were crying like there would be no tmr; it was understandable. i really emphathise with them and their situation: suddenly your ricebowl was gone. your dream to work hard in singapore and send back your hard earned cash to your family is gone. and the next moment you will be at the airport and taking the flight back to your hometown with nothing left with you. it's dramatic and drastic.
i was kinda caught in the drama as i was trying to calm down the 2 bus drivers who was dismissed but it didnt seem to work. they were kneeling down and banging their heads on the floor to plead us to give them a 2nd chance. as much as the management would want to, i think the decision is a justified one considering what they have commited: assault in public wearing uniform.
the 2 workers left the airport for their flight home at around 840pm. it had been a emotional rollercoaster, at least for me; for someone who has watched the workers go for their english lessons and driving lessons and finally passed out from the training to become a full-fledged bus driver, this is something that was affecting me pretty much for that day.
but as my manager says it, it's all part of HR - termination and dismissal cases. haish..
