26 May 2010, Wednesday

Today’s news! I got my pay advice this morning. What’s more? It only contains the food allowance which only amounts S$121.28 instead of S$150. As far as I know, we have our laundry allowance which is about S$30 and yet it is not stated in our pay slip. I don’t know if we still have the split shift allowance. If we don’t, I’ll just quit. All of my schedules are split shift. My time is just being wasted in Tanglin if I don’t have the split shift allowance. In addition to that, according to the orientation in UST we are being paid for every over time and spit shift. So, what’s going on? I won’t be able to survive living in Singapore if that was the case. I should have just applied in Friday’s.

This is a very worst day! I spilled the dessert that I picked up (that was the very first time). I broke one water goblet (I have a total of four, fewer compared to my trainee colleagues). The thing is Loy Fat, the assistant manager, saw me cleaning the broken goblet. He said something about paying for the broken goblets. I am depressed over my food allowance. I have no energy. I am thinking about not being paid for the split shift and for the laundry. To think that Tavern is just a mere restaurant, I’d rather work in Friday’s…to think that Tanglin is not a hotel but a member’s club, a social club…to think that I am only a trainee but is doing the same things as the regular employees…to think that my allowance is less than S$450, especially for the first month…I am totally worn out. Other trainees have better compensation. Plus, I learned that it is indicated in the MOM that our pay as trainees is S$950 but we are only getting S$450. Another thing, this evening, the committee members of Tanglin and the GM ate at Tavern after their meeting. The fact that they are important people in Tanglin makes me nervous.

Off for today, I am paying for the internet and yet it is always disrupted.
