Rumours have been flying around the office about the bonus payout this yr. Stanchart isn't affected by the US subprime crisis an had achieved record profit figures for 2007. But the ground's sentiments are that bonuses are lean & that the figures has been revised downwards. Disgrunted colleagues of mine, overworked & supposedly, underpaid in comparison to those of the local banks. Wonder how true are these...
While no one will claim that they are ever remunerated adequately for their input, i suppose the fact that people leaving the banks after receiving their bonuses are a common trend. I already have few folks telling me that they have gotten their letters ready. Ironically, my boss asked abt my intention for an international trsf 2 weeks back. Wonder if its becoz he knows that i'll be unhappy with my bonus payout or just an attempt to keep me in the team. I am not hopeful that an international trsf to HK will happen. Maybe it's just lip service? I don't know.
Well, the white envelopes that everyone's looking forward to will be distributed soon. Wonder what's my reaction when i see the stated figure. Maybe it'll trigger my enzema to flare up, which i have a tendency to strike when my tensions are high.
