I wonder if most people actually prefer the promotion...or the salary adjustment

Who says job hopper is bad for the company which hires him?

Job hoppers can be bad for the company which hires them but each time they join a company, they will most probably work hard in order to impress. On the other hand, a loyal employee may take the company for granted and starts to slack a lot.

Don’t believe? Try to observe. Most newcomers always come in on time, if not earlier. But the old employees will always come in late.

Somehow, the term 'job scope' can only be defined by the boss and it DOES change from time to time

This comic is requested by a friend of mine. He contributed first part of the idea and I modified it slightly.

I think in reality, this kind of situation does happen to some people and at times like this, the term ‘job scope’ or ‘job definition’ or …well, ‘initiatives’ can be quite blurry and subjective. Just make sure you don’t try to sound threatening when your boss is in a bad mood.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why a lot of candidates are afraid of technical test during interview.

This is based on 2 true stories. Maybe they are not as exaggerated as this one. But really, I think as job interviewer, Mitch should’ve checked the test paper properly before giving it out to the candidate unless he is doing that on purpose.

Also….ever wonder why some interview sessions are so long, that the interviewer ends up doing nothing for half a day? Not a bad job to have huh, as an interviewer

Don't worry if you've failed the test during interview, you might still get hired!

Companies love loyal employees. In fact, that’s one of the most important pre-requisites when they look for people. On the other hand, they also don’t want to hire useless people who failed their technical test. Hmmm, I thought useless people (or in a nicer term, less talented people) are the one who can’t find a job easily outside?  Doesn’t that make these useless or less talented people, loyal employees?

Conclusion, companies have conflicting policies – they want good people, and they want loyal people.

Never attempt to disclose one of the manager's biggest secrets.

Sometimes, employees need to know what to say and what not to say. Disclosing one of the manager’s biggest secrets is not the smartest thing to do….in fact, it could be the dumbest thing!

Anyway, it’s just a joke. The job scope of a manager is, most often than not, more stressful than the employees’. So…learn to appreciate your managers!

By the way, from this week onwards, the weekly comic update will be on every Monday instead of Sunday. I figure that there are more people online during Mondays.

Complaining too much is not a good thing during a job interview. You might encounter the unexpected!

People do tend to complain a lot about their previous companies even though they should not do that during a job interview. It’s bad for your reputation and you never know if your job interviewer actually knows your ex-boss. So choose your words wisely and answer positively during the job interview.

Don't judge a job by its job description?

Sometimes, a job opportunity with over-the-top benefits and salary package might not be a good thing.
