there are punishment but no reward in your office

I think it would be very hard to work in a place that never offered a pat on the back sometimes. I know that with the economy the way it is it might be hard to give a lot of bonuses or pay raises but there are other ways to show appreciation too. I think that moral is very important for a productive group.

Most companies are like that. When it come to a reason to take away from you, they have no problem doing it. But when it comes to giving extra for something good, they either do not acknowledge it or they give you a letter saying how thankful they are for your hard work and dedication.

With punishments, there must be rewards as well. If not, how would employees stay motivated to work for the company, when their best equals to nothing and their mistakes results in losses. A fair company is one that knows when and how to reward their staff. IF your company doesn't do that, it's best to leave because the company won't last long before they fold. When staff morales are low, there's no way to increase productivity and efficiency at work.

There are some companies that does treat people unfairly. We also have the same problem here as well. The company needs people who can manage the employee and the money as well. There are some even big companies not paying the concept of having good management in a company. Their management is like small class company that doesn't really concern about this cases. In short, they mistreat and made false conclusion for employee. The employee aren't satisfied instead of disappointed with the company conclusion.

Heck, that was one of the reasons I did not work for that company I recently applied for. When I, along with other applicants, was told about the strict policies of that company, many of us were discouraged to go. That company had already a low salary to give us monthly. Their building is located 18 kilometers from my home(my transport fee is higher than the daily salary amount), for late comers, even a minute late, your daily salary is deducted by half. I mean, what the? Why would I work my A off for that kind of job? I would be better off with another job available nearer. I think when workers are under that kind of company policy, they won't like their jobs much, because they are not rewarded fairly. Most of them wouldn't be motivated to do better, because they are paid the same amount anyway, not worth their hard work.

Well, i feel even worse is the company punish the hardworking employee! For lazy worker, company just left them there. For hardworking one, they give you more to work on:( too bad :(

Hi adhyz: Oh that is really sad. If I were in a situation like this I would start asking myself if is it really necessary to keep a job that doesn't make me feel happy as a person I would try to find something different, some other opportunities because the money should not be our only purpose when we are working ALVARO

"a valuable work is very expensive". Typically, a well-established company will giving reward for hard worker, to give spirit to work better. Current economic situation is not good, these workers were in a difficult situation. Although the state of the company as you say, when worker go out and find new companies, they will not be easy to get new one.

Eww~ If ever I got interviewed in a company with that kind of policy, I'd definitely decline whatever offer they have to give me. Without rewards, there's no sense in performing real well in the office. I'd definitely stay out of that kind of company and look for a new job.

Oh, you need to work in most of our country company. You late 1 minutes then your salary got cut. Nothing right in everything you do. In another company, although you got good and worthy idea, your reward is always limited, although the profit of the company is very high. You know, lazy guy often got same salary increase as hard working guy. But hardworking guy got more and more work, plus anger if they did not perform as good as usual. So need to find another freelance job to increase income (while keep got anger from office) :D

That company has a bad management structure and does not know updated concepts for better work environment. If this continues, that company will suffer by seeing its workers leave and look for better opportunities outside. If an employee excels in performing his responsibilities, I truly think that he deserves a recognition in terms of promotion, raise in salary or even as simple as treating him/her to lunch or dinner.

There should be appreciation for the achievement made and I dont think there is a need to punish the underperformer.It is better to send them out. There should be a system of apprisal in every organisation . The apprisal form will be distributed to the HODs and they will report the performance of each employee. In our office we will select a best employee in every month and we will publish their name in the notice board and they will be rewarded. Likewise we will publish the name of people who are coming late. So over a period of time, we are seeeing some improvement.
