    MAS SELAMAT CAUGHT in Johor

    OKOK, so we're all excited! Here's a question.... it took 4 hours before SG police notifed that Mas Selamat was missing. It now takes Malaysia police 1 month to release news of his capture. Why?

    New Job Old Job

    I don't know if I'm in a worse situation. I am the most experienced person at the place I work and lead a team of 40 staff. I'm about 1 week away from signing that letter. 2nd interview tomorrow. I'm going to tell my boss, prepare all the handover, suggest who my replacement should be, and...

    2007 bonus?

    Your comment is spot on. Yep, my telco fits right into this category. AWS was factored into the basic.... so low bonus, no AWS (unless it means my base is already lower), and minor increment that doesn't even cover inflation for the last 4 years!

    2007 bonus?

    ahhh, I hear u. What annoys me though is I was top performer, my boss said I will be "looked after" then promise increment and bonus but both cannot deliver up to promised level. Then blame HR! Talked to another friend last night, he said US MNC is like that, bonus is super low. Told him I also...

    2007 bonus?

    I was talking to a friend 30 mins ago, similar position in terms of responsibility as me. Local fairly large company, salary roughly the same, and he brought home 5 months!!! Even his staff took 3.5 months..... (its not a financial institution) that got me thinking!

    2007 bonus?

    The sad fact is that working for a US MNC doesn't pay. You can have a number 1 ranking out of 40 people (like me) and still not even draw a full 1 month bonus - when the company pays massive dividends out to shareholders! Increment? yeah, I got 5% and others got 2%. Were you happy with your...

    Continuous shutter/flash combo?

    Good advice dudes. Thanks. I was under the impression that continuous flashes were "normal". Thanks for clarifying. Under no flash conditions, it works fine. Thanks again!

    Continuous shutter/flash combo?

    I'm stumped. Don't know why when the flash is used, my continuous shutter doesn't fire continuously. Seems to only fire once, then needs a second press on the shutter to make it fire again. Is this the way Nikon builds its cams?

    Urgent 24/12: Sydney camera shops?

    Hi guys Need to buy urgently for Christmas (so I have 4 hours left before close of business). Need to buy a tripod for my parents. Saw some crappy plasticky ones at Myer for $70. I'm sure it should be possible to get a cheaper one and better quality. My parents would be using it on their...

    Chanelle and Honda Civic

    Yep! Agree totally. I was struck by number 1. After that, I guess the girl didn't do it for me. Served more as a distraction blocking rather than enhancing. My opinion.
