Heartless Management...

Funny...my ex-colleague called me just yesterday for some chats! Surprisingly, my ex-GM is pregnant. Just for your info, she's not married but screwed and now pregnant for more than 5 months. She's been hiding that till now! Wow...

Greg once described her as an "ah moh" standing in ChinaTown, blond hair, thick lips, fair, tall, with a really low cut blouse and short mini, criss cross black stockings, high cut boots...Imagine that. Well, no objection! She does have the potential to look so! Hehe...that is what the naughthy boyz would hope!

Well, NH management always have a one and only regulations to pregnant woman - FIRE!!! Singapore law has an advantage to pregnant woman, they get 3months maternity leave and are paid compare to only one miserable month in Malaysia. And in NH, any pregnant woman being disclose by the management, will be fire by anyway. Harman, an ex-operation planner, she is a poor lady. Married in Aug 05 and was pegnant in Oct 05. Happy she was, but the heartless management gave her so much stress. "Convince" her to change her job scope to a contracted one, make her stay late etc... Unfortunately, her baby destressed itself. She had a miscarriage. Ouch, isn't that painful. At then, her contracted appointment was still in discussed. Since she is no more pregnant, they continue her with her original permanent position.

After her honey moon in Dec 05, she was again pregnant. How happy and worry we all were for her. And the joy she have on her look was so satisfying. But NH did not let her off so easily. She was warned, yes warned, to accept the appointment letter, converting her permanent position to contracted by hourly basis for 6months with the same job same stress. In this way, any labourer could not sue the management, coz the pregnant lady is not fire instead she willingly changed her job appointment.Isn't the management too smart? Pay lesser for the same job done(pregnant woman need to go for medical check-ups often, which mean to be unpaid leave), no benefits given, no need being sued, no need pay maternity leave most important!!!

Cruel heartless i would say!

Of coz, Harman went through lotsa stress. But she was still coping well for the baby's forth-coming till something bad happen. She started to take leave and MC very often. Her pregnancies was no good after all. Reaching her third month of pregnancies, she started bleeding and having sharp pain at the abdomen. After a few days, her baby is gone AGAIN!!! OUCH....twice Ouch ouch...its painful...i know the feeling deeply down my heart!

Twice the miscarriages, lotsa thanks to "good" management of NH. She finally decided to leave NH which i think most of us would say YES it's good to leave and rest.

My 'dear' GM was already pregnant by then unknowingly. Smart ass she has, hiding her stomach for five months. Of coz, who would not be afraid to have the kind of treatment Harman just went through.

My advice, yes hide your stomach if you are pregnant just in case you face this kinda of damn heartless manaagement. BEWARE!!!
