In a radio interview:
A teacher (sobbing): "The work load is very heavy that I don't have time to take care my kids. It seems that my Phillippine maid is my kid's mum, not me. Luckily I have a good maid, otherwise..... "
ALL WORKING MUMS ARE LIKE THAT IN HONG KONG!! And you get the ability to hire a maid at home.
Maybe the workload and pressure are really huge. But you are not convincing.

Can't hack it? Find a new job or a new career.
I always says, it is the problem of time management. Working under high pressure is the culture of Hong Kong!
For the likes of you, yes.
For others, picking noses and chatting during office hours just so they'd have something to do for faking OTs.
I'd been worked in an environment that 0010-0024 work is the norm, I know about the fantesy of 'time management'.
14 mins? ;p
Hey, what's with Blogger?! I am pretty sure I had my name typed correctly for the first comment here, and now it says hnmmi. I have had comments deleted from your's, sonic's as well as Veronica's blogs which were of nothing indecent, and I simply couldn't bother rewrite them.
Oh, it should be 1000 till 2400
'Time management' works if you have a high degree of self autonomy in your job. It breaks down if your employer treats you like part of a production line.
The Hong Kong people in general work so hard and for such long hours, but per hour they probably earn less than their Western counterparts. They also sacrifice in the quality of life (look electronic gadgets and big flat panel TVs ain't quality of life). The difference in earning and quality of life is sucked up and destroyed by the high land value which only benefits the big real estate developers.
The future is so grim, everybody's wearing their pitch dark shades so they don't need to see the horror of it.
