This is a story of a foreigner whose grasp of english is poor and due to the need and want of staying in the country, he endures the abuse that the big boss lashes out on him. From forcing him to stay in another foreign country, to fining him practically DAILY, this poor soul is like an animal stuck in a cage with the key to freedom dangling just out of his reach.
What happened was that the big big boss searched through his emails and found that he emailed external consultants and companies. Upon reading his emails, the big big boss was appalled at his english and banned him from contacting external parties. He was fined $10. (again, no warning. Fine first then explain the reason) He had only $8 in his pocket so the boss took $4 and left $4 for food.
A collegue of his then came to his defence and said that he emailed only on his instruction. The big big boss then proceeded to fine the collegue $10 as well. Since the collegue did not bring his wallet at that moment, he was told by the boss to bring the $10 later.
So...the O3 environment's rules is to take money from the masses of workers by fining them whilst unawares of your great rules, then combining this and redistributing it later as 'bonuses'. How's that for a zero-sum game?

Wanted me to write every day what I do in a notebook, and pass it to him when I go home.
I was supposed to take the notebook in the morning.
- "10$ for leaving my office and not taking the notebook with you."
- "I don't have 10$"
- "You must have 10$ in your wallet"
- "I don't have 10$ ! you don't believe me ? you want to see my wallet ?"
(Nods in his head, showing him the wallet)
- "You see ? I have 2$. The rest are just receipts."
- "I'll deduct it from your salary."
(After picking, takes the receipts and reads them)
- "You have money to go to the Zoo, and don't have 10$ ?"
- "What I do with my money is my own business."
(Left the office)
Is he allowed to fine people? What happens to the money? Does he declare it as income?
Ha! Income? Nah, sometimes he says "Thank you for your charity", or something similar, but usually he puts it in his pocket.
Goodness knows what happens to the money but I think it goes to the purchase of stupid things like the pacifiers.
Illegal? Yep. But there are too many foreigners here who are afraid of getting fired and then having to leave the country. They are cought between a rock and a hard place. The big boss purposely bullies these people and he obviously hires a lot of them too.
