车祸。。。中的平安

四个多月前的某一天晚上，
我和朋友出去游玩，在回家的途中；
遇上了车祸。

当我的车子开到分叉路口的红灯时，
一辆默多骑士逆着方向向着我的去路奔驰而来。
他撞向了我的车，整个人扑向我车子的大镜。
下车一看我的车灯 和大镜被他一撞而破裂毁坏了。
当看着大镜的破裂， 我的心也随而撕裂了。
我心疼极了。。。我当时完全无语能言。。。

心中的极痛失是无法能弥补的，
到了今天我还在寻找我的车灯；
毕竟这辆车是一辆上了年级的车，
再加上它是当时的限量版的车。
这就更是难上加难了。。。。

但愿我那封电邮到日本的总公司会有所帮助，
他们能早日帮我寻到车灯吧。
横祸的降临真的是任你怎么想避也避不开的。

这四个多月来的无奈与心疼。。。
真的太难熬了，
但依然感谢神，如不是他在保护我；
那个人不是扑裂我车的大镜，
而是现场扑碎我车的大镜；
那么我和我的朋友也就会可能当场毁容了。

感谢上帝让我在危险中依然得到他格外的平安。。。。

Advantages to Work in International Company

Business is everywhere in the world when there is people around it, so does the existing of firms, organizations and companies. A company in law simply refers to a legal entity formed which has a separate legal identity from its members, and is ordinarily incorporated to undertake commercial business. Companies in most parts of the world can generally grouped into two of which is the local company and international company. Local company usually refers to company just operate within a certain country, county or even just in a certain area.

On the other hand, international company mostly refer as multinational corporation(MNC) of which is an enterprise that manages production establishments or delivers services in at least two countries. Multinational corporations have played an important role in these days especially when the world’s business has moving towards globalization, and it can be said that out of 100 largest economies in the world there will be at 51 of them are multinational corporations.

Furthermore, very large multinational corporations have a powerful influence in the international relations as they have budgets that can exceed those of many countries. This is because they have large economic influence in the politicians’ representative districts, such as Microsoft the computer software’s company and Morley one of the world largest cigarettes manufacturing company have some influence in the America politic; as well as these multinational corporations have their extensive financial resources available for public relations and political lobbying.

Meanwhile the multinational corporations also facing some challenges, as they must compete with other MNCs and the local existing companies as well as the new entrances in the market. Many multinational corporations have voted employee as their most important investments or most important resources. For example Dell has set that employees are the reason for it success to gain customers interest among other competitors. In order for some multinational corporations to control their employees’ turnover rate, and to maintain the specialists they have in the company, they have practices some effective ways and techniques.

First of all the technique is giving good compensations and benefits to their employees. For example Intel Corporation’s compensation and benefits package that given to their employees. Intel is known as a successful building block supplier to the worldwide Internet economy by hiring the best and brightest people to work for them. Intel also believe employees are the most important investment for success that if they shared the success with their employees who have helped us earn it, will make the employees feel satisfaction and fulfillment to the company and that will lead them to contribute more to the company in return. Intel’s comprehensive benefits and compensation packages to their employees are also reflected on that belief of employees are the most important investment for success.

The comprehensive benefits and compensation packages of Intel to their employees have including the two types of bonus programs, of which is the Employee Cash Bonus Plan (ECBP). The ECBP is a profit-sharing program that tied directly to Intel's financial performance. Under this program, certain Intel employees will be rewarded through a cash payout twice each year; of which is an over inception plan that is the corporate average of 7.7% of annual eligible income or 20 days pay. Beside the ECBP there is another bonus program, the Employee Bonus which is based on personal and business group performance, as well as corporate earnings per share. Under this bonus program the reward will be paid out only once each year and the reward will be figures as much as 1 to 4% of the employee’s eligible earnings.

Furthermore at Intel Corporation’s compensation and benefits package, their employees might own a stake in the company by going through the Intel's Stock Option Plan. Under this plan, Intel’s full and part-time employees may be eligible to receive options based on their past performance and anticipated future contributions. In order to show Intel’s sincerity to their employees, all employees are encouraged to enroll in the Stock Participation Plan. This is the program that offers employees an opportunity to purchase Intel stock at a price lower than the fair market value through convenient payroll deductions. This Stock Option Plan is to make Intel’s employees feel more self belonging to Intel, so indirectly the employees will contribute more as subconsciously they will be treating Intel as their own company.

Under these whole Intel Corporation’s compensation and benefits package, Intel offers a variety of important benefit programs to protect the well-being of the employees as well as their eligible family members, which are including the same-sex domestic partners. Intel has offering comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability and group life insurance coverage to the employees and a voluntary coverage options for their family members under the benefits program from the very first day of his or hers employment.

In addition, if the employee was and is working in US Intel Corporation’s compensation and benefits package, then every seven years, all the regular full-time employees over in the United States will be entitled to an eight-week sabbatical with pay. In order for the employees to have normal vacation and some personal time off, Intel also offer a competitive vacation program in the U.S., and an additional nine holidays as well as a "floating" holiday every year.

Last but not the least, Intel employees who have made an impact to the company will not go unrecognized; as Intel's award systems will be recognizing and encouraging the employee individual outstanding performance in the Intel Corporation’s compensation and benefits package. The awards range will be from a formal recognition at the corporate level to spontaneous employee-to-employee awards that presented at the department level.

Besides offering comprehensive compensations and benefits to employees, multinational corporations also realized that childcare issues can cost millions of dollars each year in lost productivity and turnover as the parents will be disrupted at work when their childcare is unreliable or in poor quality. Multinational corporations learnt about working parents are in need of childcare help, and traditional childcare solutions do not adequately address the needs of many employees through employee surveys. So some multinational corporations such as Intel and Ford have had a pretax childcare benefit and relationships with national childcare providers for some years, and these two multinational corporations have taking a more greater steps to provide more support for parents and guardians in the back couple of years. Intel has taken the best address unique childcare needs for their employees by taking the site-based approach to childcare, as Intel in Israel has partnered with the community to support childcare centers located near Intel facilities providing services, and in Intel Ireland has implemented an on-site resource and referral service to help employees locate childcare; as well as Intel Malaysia has offered an on-site preschool.

Furthermore multinational corporations also noticed that employees’ self-development outside the office is also just as important as the development inside the office. For that reasons multinational corporations will also offer a variety of training services and programs to further shaping up their employees' lives throughout every level in their careers. Some multinational corporations have even giving their employees opportunity to further study with either its own university or other universities; as well as sending their employees to overseas for training.

Last but not the least, multinational corporations often provide a greater career growth to their employees as their employees are encouraged and given opportunities to challenge themselves in the corporation. Some multinational corporations even have a high challenge for their employees as the average of employee moves to a new position will be within every 18-24 months.

It is because of all the comprehensive benefits, compensations, childcare services, training and education, as well as higher career growth opportunity that have given me greater interest to work with an international or multinational company rather than to work with a local and lower potential company if I were ever given to chance. Although I realize that the pressure and the workload to work under big company like multinational company will be much higher than local company.

許久。。。許久

自從在戴爾上班後﹐我的人生除了工作外還是工作。

這裡也很少上來寫了﹐是沒有時間還是。。。

其實應該說自從妳離開後﹐我再也沒有任何人生情趣。

已往我的努力是為了我倆的家﹐

所以在香港那段日子﹐雖是辛苦但總是覺得甜蜜的。

但如今我的生活是那麼那麼的刻板﹐

早上老早就起床﹐上班去。

我從不知道我的努力求上到底是為了什麼﹐

我每日的埋頭工作又是為了什麼﹐

因為我的目標隨著妳而去了。

我如今只是一副空殼﹐每天就這樣的做。

每一天就像是Generate Quotation和收聽員 的機器一般的做個不停。
一直到了晚上才帶著一副像似上完戰場的俘虜生心歸去。

生病了也照常上班﹐除非到了完全倒在床起不來。

否則我絕不請一天假﹐

我像似要折磨死自己似的。

我可以說是在進行一項“慢性自殺”。

我很喜歡“歸去”這個字眼﹐因為這兩年在我意念中的仿彿就是它。

好想。。。好想能夠面臨這天早些﹐

早日歸去﹐土歸土﹐塵歸塵。

不再有任何眷念﹐不再有任何牽掛。

楓。。。。我到底要到何時才能再見到妳。。。。。

Sexual harassment

Sexual harassment is a wide spectrum of offensive behavior toward a sexual nature, typically in the workplace or other setting where raising of objections and refusing may lead negative consequences to themselves. Sexual harassment rationally referred toward women being sexual abuse rather than to men and it is usually more sensitive over in the West than the East, especially the United States of America.

This is because women were sexually harassed long before there was even a word for it. From the history of US, we see that under slavery, women or I should say African American women were usually sexually abused by their white masters. After industrialization came in, women started to work in factories and offices where they had to endure another type of sexual comments and demands by bosses and coworkers as the price for survival.

Women live under this type of conditions for decades and centuries, which was long enough until women started to voice out for themselves. Even though sexual harassment was recognized as a legal claim for sex discrimination at work under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, long before it was commonly accepted as harmful.

Women began to speak in public for the first time about this form of sexual abuse in the mid-1970s. That was in May 1975 when The Women's Center at Cornell University held the first Speak Out; whereby the feminists in Boston and women workers in New York formed action groups. This was the very first time where the words "sexual harassment" has emerged to describe and give coherence, communality, and communicability to an experience that women previously had no choice but to consider just life.

Since then sexual harassment is considered a form of illegal discrimination in the United States of America. The harassment must impact individuals of a specific sex in a discriminatory manner in order to be considered as sexual harassment, for example any unwelcome sexual advance or conduct on the job, having the effect of making the workplace intimidating, hostile or offensive.

Today sexual harassment not only referring just on women being sexual abused and discriminated by men or vice versa but also looking into same sex harassment over in the workplace. This is because men or women are capable of sexually harassing other men or women, and it does not manner whether their personal sexual orientation is heterosexual or homosexual. This is because a heterosexual man can sexually harass a homosexual or a heterosexual man.
