What?! Status Pending...?

Well, i was supposed to be retrenched by the company that I am working for now.. BUT...

This is the email I sent to both GM and HR manager -->

Dear both,

Sorry for interrupting your busy schedule. Anyway, I believe I need clarification from both sides as it has become a ‘he said she said’ situation.

Let’s jog our memory with the sequence of event,

10 March 2009
Announcement of Retrenchment by Dato’ Momo San. The list of retrenchment is given on 13 March 2009.

13 March 2009
Was informed by Mr Sticky that ‘they’ (should be referring to Mr Sticky and Puan Zorra who were in the same room) haven’t come to a conclusion either to retrench Ms Tina together with 1st batch (service ended 10 and 12 April respectively) or to retrench later as her service is still needed in order to work on Annual Report as Ms Sannie’s requested.

It was on mutual agreement that Ms Tina would extend her tenure until mid or end May to assist in the completion of Annual Report. During which, Pn Zorra did mention that Ms Tina will be given 1 month notice prior to the retrenchment, which the notice will be given in April.

25 March 2009
An email was sent to Pn. Zorra requesting for the notice letter and at the same time sending the form from Jabatan Tenaga Kerja.

Was informed by Pn Zorra that she couldn’t provide the letter as Ms Tina is not serving the notice period yet, at the same time, was informed that the probation period will be extended and notice will be given in April.

25 March 2009
Jabatan Tenaga Kerja (KL branch) has just confirmed in receiving the retrenchment list from MIECO on 25 March 2009. Total number of employees affected 17, 15 females and 2 males. The confirmed list of names has yet to be provided to the department.

31 March 2009
An email was sent to Pn Zorra by Ms Sannie regarding Ms Tina status. And again, was informed that Ms Tina will be compensate based on retrenchment package and the timing is delayed due to annual report activities.

* refer to attached email dated 31 March 2009

1 April 2009
Ms Sannie tendered her resignation.

7 April 2009
Ms Tina received letter to extend her probation period and stated that the status will be reviewed by Middle of April.

24 April 2009
After not receiving any feedback by middle of April, another email was sent to Pn. Zorra regarding Ms Tina status, as she felt that there would be a twist of event with the resignation of Ms Sannie.

Pn Zorra has called Ms Lina and informed her that her last working day is pending for Mr Sticky’s decision. However, Pn Zorra will consult Mr Sticky when she sees him in Kuantan.

* Sequence from email dated 25 March 2009.

30 April 2009
Received email from Pn. Zorra that Mr Sticky would discuss Ms Tina’s status.

8 May 2009
Ms Tina discussion with Mr Sticky and phone conversation with Pn. Zorra.

Based on the sequence of event, I believe you would have ample time to inform me whether the retrenchment package is either valid or void, considering the circumstance that arises. Even if I was on medical leave, I believe there are 19 working days in April that you’d be able to contact me whenever I’m in the office.

I am aware that I am under probation and am not able to expect much from M or may not qualify for the retrenchment package. I would like to highlight that there are other employees who are still under probation and just worked for 2 or 3 months that were being retrenched. So the notion that I am not qualify for the retrenchment is overstated.

However, the thing that upset me most is the non-communication even when you have already knew the situation, which is very ironic for me as I am in the communication department. A drop of email or phone call would suffice if time is crucial for a face to face discussion.

I am looking forward for a better explanation from you.

1. I hope I wouldn't sound very harsh
2. I want them to release me
3. I don't care about the retrenchment package anymore
