MAS to save up to RM100m via new accounting system - MALAYSIA Airlines (MAS) expects its new revenue accounting system to add between RM50mil and RM100mil per annum to its bottom line as a result of cost reduction, efficiency gains and revenue enhancement.
I am not a fan of this book 'Who Moved My Cheese?' I have been working in a dog eat dog world since I was a kid. 'Change' is nothing new to me. But I like one phrase in this 'Who Moved My Cheese?' - Be Ready To Change Quickly And Employ It Again & Again
'Who Moved My Cheese?' is a book which warns complacent people about 'change'. A change to your job, a change in the family, a change in the economy, a change in the COASTLINE! Everything can change in this world. So many friends of mine are so complacent with their current situation. They think that they could have the same job forever. They think their family will always be there to back them up. They think they have endless opportunities to come etc.
Not many will smell the cheese everyday and see if it is getting old.......
A friend of mine got retrenched recently. He is around 40 years old. A age that is very difficult to get another opportunity in Singapore. He went to see a recruitment agent after trying many job applications on his own. The job recruitment agent was very blunt with him. She said:-
'Sir, although you have been working for 15 years, you don't have 15 years experience. You have 1 year of experience, but you have done that 15 times.'
Harsh. But also true. I am sympathetic. But I am not sympathetic.
