a thought

i almost went into a relationship with someone but i decided not too as i know that i won't be happy in the end. so i'm still single and life goes on. understand what freedom means now. thank u!!

accompanied my mom to the polyclinic and as my mom can't really walk long distance now, so we waited for a cab . . . for amost an hr. even called comfort and the taxi were all booked. alas we got a cab at 11am, and it happened just as we abt to give up. told the taxi cab driver and he told me that ppl are just not happy working for the company anymore. the company expects more from the drivers but their welfare is not taken care off. hmmmmm.... guess everywhere is the same then. =p but something the cab driver told me struck me.

the cabs drivers used to have a percentage of the advertisement cost that they have on their cabs. however, that benefit has been taken away from them by the company. however, the cab driver still have the duty of maintaining the adverts. hence it wld be an extra job for them esp if the cab have adverts on the roof. (not sure if it goes the same as buses). furthermore, the company could tell the cab driver to report to certain place to have the adverts fixed and it will take 2 hrs which means no compensation. on top of that, cab drivers have to use their daily takings to pay for their summons, petrol and whatsoever.

of which i ask myself this question, if what has been said is true . . where is the justification in price increased? if the company are enjoying the profits from the adverts and not taking care of the well being of their employees why should the public suffer. it's always the same reason for the price increase. so again where is the justification.
