Hi ,

PLEASE take some time to read this...maybe after work or at home.

I came across these 2 blogs that day. A young pretty lady name May Jie(MJ) who worked for our competitor HP in SG has passaway due to overwork. My friend who worked in HP had checked their company address book (just like our SET), and confirm that MJ worked for HP SG, so most probably this is a real story.

Here are the blog addresses :

MJ's Blog(with her last post) : http://pinkmayflower.multiply.com/journal/item/140

MJ's Friend's Blog : http://kaiyan.multiply.com/journal/item/197


From MJ's Friend's Blog:
"Doctor said that she sat down for too long a time and a blood clot formed at her legs. When she tried to stand up, the blood actually shot to her heart, causing her to collapse. Her Mom called the ambulance immediately but even on the way there, she was informed that MJ's condition was critical, asking her to be prepared.

According to her Mom, she was working non-stop for the past 8 hours with the lap top on her lap, replying emails and work related stuff, so this proves what the doctors had examined as well."

From MJ's Blog:
"I came to HP started as an Admin Executive in Sep last year & changing to a Partner Support Manager in Mar just this year.

It's ok for me to wake at 3.30am to start work @ 4.30am everyday in the morning. But never did I realise what kind of stuff were coming towards me... What I face everyday as a partner support manager is having more than 100 emails per day (I'm not joking, they're no good ones), partners from New Zealand practically "screaming" to be served first, getting their orders delivered ASAP, wanting everything, complaining of everything. Month end was the most "exciting" part, you get to go on concalls almost everyday, prepare backlog reports for each concall session which consists of 500 over orders remaining undelivered, investigating item by item.

Only 3 of us managers handling the whole of NZ. All for the sake of a salary just enough to keep myself alive for a month. I'm not earning like the other managers are cos I'm only a contract staff.

I've got myself sick these few days. Had diarrhea last Thu, hurt my knee and was limping badly since last Sunday, had breathlessness since Wed & fainted after work on that day at my office lift lobby, knocked my head against the wall when I fainted, collapsed again last night at home. Now my chest feels really tight & breathing is really tough. Doc just said I'm really stressed out. sigh..... what should I do? Quit? or continue this ultra-super stressful job?

Just yesterday, I received an email from my job agency saying that a contract staff who's working in HP as well, passed away from heart attack, leaving his wife & kids... deja vu? coincidental? a warning sign? I dunno. I don't wanna end up dead for the sake of dough. "

***SO my dear colleagues/friends, please standup and walkaround for awhile after sitting for too long......for your love one's sake pls~~~~~

I never believe in working too hard for the company. Work can never be finished. My opinion is if I cannot handle it, I will still do it my own pace. By doing this, I'll be throwing the responsibility back to my employer. This will remind him/her to employ more staff if he/she do not wish to lose the customers. It's other people's business anyway. My job is to contribute my service to the company. Company's profit or lost is still the employer's responsibility, not the employee's responsibility.

Yeah this is a really sad case..i got a posting for condolences for her at my blog also....haiz as long as we work for others...our life is like that...

Please do not look at my blog if you have never been scammed before. Please also keep away from my blog if you are already rich and happy.

i guess it's easy said than done. :handsup:

Life is tough in singapore. :cry3:

In my company sometime the tool owner has to work from morning
8am till the next day 4am & boss still not happy.
The work load is high but sad thing is people have commitment to make.

Some reason why people choose not to quit.
-House loan
-Car loan
-Children fees
-Insurance
-Daily expense , Makan, Tansport. Medical expense.
-Leave earn during the year at the company will reset to normal if quit
-Will i be able to adapt to new enviroment
-Can i get a higher pay or equal amount to current (salary too high to quit)
-Things may get better after all the hard work.
-ETC..
