Happy Salary Proliferation Day

When I was earning a measly RM5 per hour, I loved my job to death and I looked forward to working on May 1.

RM5 x 8 hours 8 x 3 = RM120 gross

Add to the equation the potential of pocketing additional RM45 of OT due to the crazy stream of yuppies/rich kids into the java joint on a public holiday.

Point being? Labour Day used to be a lucrative business.

These days I'm expected to spend my labour day at the office at the same salary rate but with extra workload and potentially ripping my heart out because the stream of yuppies/rich kids into the java joints are still steady yet I ain't part of the partay.

Sad. Also because I'm no longer employed by a certain java chain. And I really miss the anticipation of the triple pay day. It only comes once a year and only applies to those really doing the manual labour.

Yeah. Honour labourers. They're the only ones who truly appreciate the holiday.

(Can you tell who's depressed about work now? Guess! Guess! Woohooo!)
