It's a big word, a huge word in fact, so much so that people are taking their lives when they fail to "perform". Finally it's official, promoted to the title of Assistant Vice President where everyone's base salary is S$10,000 mine's not even se7en, where the next line after announcing your promotion came your annual bonus which turns out to be a pathetic S$1,563.00. After which they ask if you would like to attend the promotion dinner, obviously not. That, at the last part is a request to socialize. Met my aunts over the tomb sweeping weekend, had a chat with her on simple stuff and then they started going on how bad is it to not have a degree blablabla and of course I shared that my bonus was pathetic to make her feel better about how she's doing and she rattle on about how her base is actually not low and they pay loadsa bonus compared to mine. You could almost see the glitter in her eyes, the joy and pride... that was lunch. Back at my grandp...
