doesnt work this way...
the current market price for these fresh graduates have risen to 3k, due to unavailability of these resources at this level. the fresh graduates also do some surveys with they frens and career office... just like rentals and coe prices... not about what it is worth. more of demand and supply determining the price.
its driven up the costs of operations... fees and others have not gone up much... hence, the squeeze on those who do take up the job has gone up so much. even the senior managers, directors and partners are working hours like no tomorrow just to ensure that the quality is not compromised. the outputs from these fresh graduates are really not satisfactory. they cant write properly, cant count, dun want to do faxing, photocopying and filing... insisting this is beneath them.
why are they like that? cause the parents and the schools pamper them so much... sigh.
