Svantaggi
- Our work is very exhausting especially during interim and busy season. Some onshores can be very demanding despite the fact that they've only booked few hours. Some even demand for us to work even after the week the engagement is booked. - A lot, if not all employees feel we are not appreciated. People who have worked for few years are currently receiving less than what the firm is offering to new comers. It seems like the management is much more interested in inviting people to enter the firm then retaining people who actually knows what they're doing through years of experience. The increase we've all received triggered some of my colleagues to pass CVs to different companies. - GDS Management doesn't really care about our issues. We all wanted explanations regarding the pay parity. Normally, the management should have held townhall meeting but they did not despite lots of complains from their employees. - The issue of pay parity has been going on for a year now. When we first joined the GDS since a lot of us are from SGV, the pay we're receiving is already below the salary they're offering outside. Now the management promised us that after a year, our salary will be in line with what they're offering outside. We 'trusted them' because they promised but that did not take into effect. It seems like the firm is more interested in inviting others to join than retaining employees who have dedicated years working for them. They always tell us that they're ready for attrition. We all know that everyone is replaceable but isn't it a bit insensitive to rub that fact in our face just because we're thinking of leaving the firm? Is it bad to demand what they have promised? We have already been silent for one year. Do we still have to wait for another year for their promise to take effect? We are not in any way affected by the pandemic, business wise. In fact, they're saving a lot since all of us have been working from home.
