Not sure this is consider sus or not? I got into a contract role and the agency was fine at first. Then, it's get more sus as I work longer. My paid was on the 7th day of the month and only received at night like 9-11pm. Then, my payslip is always 1-2 weeks after the paid comes in. It's not a concern but still, it's good to know where the money goes to and for other purposes. EPF contribution is getting more late. The past few months has been over the 15th deadline.

Currently, I still haven't gotten my payslip. Another thing is they have not been transparent with me about my tenure with the client. Just a fyi, this is my first contract role and I'm not okay with it since they were never going to update me anything at all. Also, the fact their HR ain't responsive after an internal change is quite sus

Anyone got any sus stories to share?

Okay, so few months ago. I was reach out by a recruiter for a role that is a 12 months contract for a client (renewable)

I'm like okay,cool. I went for the interview and took it. Not long, I just felt odd and refocus on getting a permanent role. At the end of the day, a permanent is better than a contract. That's my take on this. People has different opinions on this.

Anyway, I went for interview and got the permanent offer which I was happy. I reach out to my client's manager to let her know I will be resigning and so on. Then, I email my resignation to the agency that I will be serving my one month notice.

The agency received my letter and then the boss reach out and saying, the client agree to renew my contract which I was so confused why he stated that. To my knowledge, it was a 12 month and it's currently May. It doesnt make sense for him to announce me about my contract getting renew.

Anyhow, agency boss was saying that he can increase my salary and so on. Later, the higher management from the client reach out to me to talk about my resignation and told me that the agency and client contract will be ending on mid of June.

That's when I found out, I wasn't given a full 12 months contract. It was a 6 months contract. I felt misled.

As i process this, the contract was with the agency not with the client. It was understandable and I went to check the chat history. It was not stated 6 months. Only 12 months. I was so pissed off.

Has anyone ever encountered this? Is this normal for you? The fact I wasn't informed it was a 6 month contract with the client is crazy. I was kept in the dark

So this company is a Multinational Corporation (MNC) and acts as a large enterprise. I have accepted the offer but there are taking a long period of time to prepare the offer letter. I have receive this messages from the recruiter.

For example, this was the message, "there are several internal approvals and ongoing progress updates that need to be cleared before we can move forward. Hence, theres been a slight delay on our end."

Is this normal for such big company to take that long to prepare an offer letter? or it's a concern?

Hello, I'm currently looking for a custom tailored suit jacket shop in KlangValley/KL. Anyone here know a good and decent one? Budget as long 600-900. I think that's okay for custom tailor suit jacket,right?

If there's a lower price range option,I'm up for it too

I'm sort of aware the job market is not doing well but lately, many recruiters have reach out to me and been asking will you be interested in a new opportunity.

When I ask what is this new opportunity, they say this is a contract role and it's renewable. What change? Is this the new trend? Forgive me cause I'm so lost. Is this a way of how company are budgeting themselves?

Edit: just to clarify it's fixed term contract roles. Not contractor role

We always say that title is just a title. You're a senior and yet you don't look or work like a senior. Same goes to being a manager or team leader.

People saw these and just say it's just a title. What matters is what you do regardless of the title.

So does higher work title helps or what you do in your work helps you more

OR BOTH?

Anyone here has that company that always pay you on the 7th instead of paying in between 1st-7th of the new month.

HR law said that no company is allowed to go past the 7th.

I'm in a contract role and it's anxious cause I only receive my paid on the 7th day at the night between 9pm and 11pm

Is that a red flag? Anyone has that kind of experience?

I'm curious is there anyone here sometimes has no task or low on task? Do you feel fulfilled or like yeah, i don't care. I got the financial flow coming. That's all it matters. Anyone here has that experience?

I'm currently at that part that I will be busy for a peak season and then it slows down. Like more free time than work time. Sometimes here and then.

Do you stay or like yeah, i need to be occupied with task on hand
