Spoken to the big boss and they are not so keen on converting me to at least a direct contract. I really doubt it despite their claims of wanting to convert me etc.
The reason of not converting me is old and tired, Headcount reduction. Last year it was headcount freeze and not enough time to assess me. A test probe, can I convert anytime if there are vacancies available, was sent and returned negative results. The conversion will not be granted if there are poor performance.
How do you judge performance? Good showing? Good ideas? Good initiatives? My job scope does not provide opportunities to shine, only tons of pitfalls to fall in. So far, I managed to avoid the bigger pitfalls and only fall into the occasional small pitfall and scrambled myself out. How do I ever have good performance? My good performance will be reviewing my tasks and responsibilities and I dare say that I done a good job in all.
As I am a one-man team, I cannot take long leave since there is no one to cover my work. Taking leave is subject to company schedule. I can plan but I cannot confirm. Yes, they can pull back my ex-teammate to cover, but his new team will suffer from it or he be tasked to do 2 jobs.
I am going to demand at least 25% increase in pay rise if I extend. Pissed off by it.

The rude rich
This was reported in Singapore news and I did not managed to catch it since it is broadcasted on a weekend.
Was outraged by rude rich driver. Illegal parking on double yellow line is actually a common practise though it indicates no parking and waiting at all times. However, this dumb driver brings the art of illegal parking to a new high by parking at the bend.
1 hour has passed but the driver has yet to come out and claim his car. What was the most sad part was that instead of an immediate summon for traffic offence, the traffic police has no choice but to issue a summon after no signs of the driver coming out soon.
My personal opinion was that such an incident should warrant immediate towing of the offending car away, slapped with a heavy fine for parking on double yellow line and traffic obstruction. Throw in some demerit points also. However, alas, nothing was done to that effect.
The video clip is here. Only for those who understand Mandarin
