I had to write this. Though for purposes of confidentiality i cannot expose to many details or names. Not that i don't want to, but i might get charged for it.
Not that it is of any importance other than to me. Me, the only Chinese in my work category in my unit, who was given Chinese New Year leave of 10 days one month before, suddenly had it unceremoniously cut short by 2 days this morning. Perhaps you might say i should be thankful i'm even getting 8 days, which i am, but as i said i'm the only one in my work category celebrating Chinese New Year. So, i who have worked through Christmas, Hari Raya and Deepavali covering other people, would expect that you give me the weekend which comes together with my weekday leave as an offday.
I was probably too naive. Usually when people tell me they will give me less calls next month because i have done extra calls this month, they actually mean it. I have had no problems from housemanship to MO-ship. But being a specialist is a whole different ball game. Seniors have the memory of a fly. They forget what was said if it brings them no benefit.
But it seemed weird why my usually hard working seniors would be so calculative over a weekend call. It took a clever husband to point out for me to realize i was the only haematologist to be testing out a new trial 'standby'call implemented this month.
Which means:
1. I have 2 days leave robbed from under my nose
2. I have to change my return bus tickets (if its still available considering how it's only days from Chinese New Year)
3. I have to pay the penalty of changing bus tickets
4. I get an extra 2 day weekend call
5. I may never be paid the measly RM85/day they are supposed to pay me (since this is a new system that my bosses are anticipating claim problems)
6. Cancelled pre-planned CNY plans
So, being naive i believed it was a mistake by my specialist doing the on call roster that i was to have my leave unceremoniously cut, when in fact it was a deliberate masterplan set up for me as they didn't want to do work without being paid.
OMG.
I WILL PAY THEM THE RM 85 A DAY EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT CALLED. I JUST WANT TO SPEND MY CHINESE NEW YEAR WITH MY FAMILY, WHICH IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE!
Is this how low professionals go these days?
Bravo 1Malaysia. Betrayed for a measly RM170.
Let me start planning for my next Hari Raya/Deepavali/ Christmas holidays.
