It’s
almost end of the month and about this time, many of the working class, like
me, would check their bank account to see if there is any additional cash flow
into your account. To put in another word, "Salary" or
"Pay". And one would be happy once their see that their hard earn
money is in. And after a few days or even weeks, it goes back to the same
cycle, waiting for "salary/pay" day.
And for the next 3 weeks(or so), we
would be complaining and whining "price is increasing, but our salary
still the same" or "cost of living is going up, but salary is
not" or something like that. I also do complain about it, but what could
we do about it? We are not in control of the price, the government is. They are
the one who set how much is the price of an item. We certainly not in control
of our salary, our employer are in control. They are the one that determine how
much we should get based on our colleague qualification, what type of special skill
that we have, what type of certification that we have.
One may
say that “I’m in control of my life, not my boss/employer!!”, but are you sure?
When was
the last time you take a week off just to relax on a sweet peaceful chalet
overlooking the ocean without your boss/employer approval? Do you still have to
ask your boss/employer to approve your leave form so that you could do that? I know
I still do. So now, who is in control of your life?
What options do you have?
Is there another option?
