Recently I have touch based with my clients who were heavily affected by the "Unpaid Leave" movement in Taiwan, and most of them are working for big companies that we hear everyday on TV. (note: the term "unpaid leave" is a new term describing when employers are "encouraging/forcing" employee to take mandatory leave without paying). It was to my surprise that the "new attitude" or we can call the "side effect" of "unpaid leave" is so "obvious" and "shown" without hesitancy to the outside world. |
The new attitude can even further be distinguished among the managerial and the non-managerial workers:
To the non-managerial level of workers
(1) Excelling in work and challenging the status-quo is no longer the #1
reason to get up and work until 9pm.
(2) Work is simply now something that they MUST do in order to pay for
the bills. No more bonus and extra perk
To the managerial level of workers
(1) Taking on all the responsibilities that are falling in the cracks among the non-managerial workers.
(2) Hoping that that the senior managers would recognize the "extra effort" to sustain the performance delivered now with much less resource and quality
(3) Speaking softly with reason to their vendors who may be worse than their situation and hoping that the vendors can provide "free service" or at "reduced cost" by leveraging on future potential business and historical relationship.
One positive thing out of this "side effect" is that people are now investing much more on "personal relationship", because everyone now realizes that personal trust and credit outweighs the fact of working for big company. People who used to use the "BIG WIP" in good days are facing big challenging in finding employment opportunities in bad time. After all, everyone wants to be treated with respect and would definitely help those people who have paid importance on these important values.
So, have you noticed any side effect?
