Ridiculous office rules revealed

[DACH]

Same can be said of the many MNCs who park their HQ here.

 

Tax haven. Tax the citizens to subsidize them.

Many companies locate their HQs/main ops in other countries due to tax issue.

 

Even for Apple company.

another ridiculous rule in my another ex-coy was must off air-con and lights and all power switches when leaving office.

 

if failed to do so for 3 times, will get warning letter

 

Whats wrong with this? You dont turn off the lights, aircon and power when you leave home?

Apple was in trouble with US taxman few years ago for moving funds to SG.

 

That's what I vaguely remember

I dont know abt the exact requirement. But you will notice that these scholars are mostly HK or UK citizens. And hor, they dont mix with ppl like me at the low end one.

 

everywhere is the same. those in ivory tower or destined to be in ivory tower do not mix with peasants.

companies are cost saving, so tht they can improve their bottomline and thus return to employees....i see nothing wit that

This is considered ok, especially if your company is in a stand alone building. 

[RadX]

unless he working in hospital, then maybe lah, cannot switch off ventilator...hahahha, highly unlikely tho

some companies have a timer, where elec to the lights are cut off after 10pm.  Good move

I dont think this is ridiculous leh.

 

My company, aircon is building control, auto off at 6pm.

 

But lights, normally the last person within that section will turn off. I am usually not the last person. But sometimes I am the first person. Even if on, I will not go and tell HR or Admin abt it.

I worked in 1 company where they have a motion sensor for the lights.

 

When everyone is hard at work at your desk, the lights will suddenly turn off....

If it's your house, will u do that?

Think your company HR Dept failed big time , until this kind of basic thing need to issue letter..

Really no self ownership mentality among the employees..

lights, air-con and computer I understand...but they insist that the wall socket switch for your computer also must off!
