A FINAL WAKE UP CALL FOR MAS
MANAGEMENT, UNIONS AND STAFF
In continuation of our earlier post below,
we have reproduced some serious and valid
comments from
CONCERNED on June 13, 2012 at 9:09 am
For MAS
to turnaround and succeed, the departure of Rashdan should not be overly
celebrated. Instead , Mas staff should take a good long look at themselves and
the Company and ask pertinent questions about how and why the Share Swap and
Collaboration could have happened in the first place. Because the TRUTH is, Mas has been a lame duck organisation for many years,
subsequent top managements have come and gone with their quick fixes, but the
problems that lead to Mas’s consistently dismal performance remain.
It is convenient to vent anger, frustration and even hatred at the “newcomers”
because it is comforting to be able to deny the fact that the rot has set in a
long time ago, there are deep rooted legacy problems, the organisation is
structurally not even organised to conduct the business it is supposed to do,
successfully. Khazanah saw this,and perhaps in their
haste, ill-placed intentions and not to forget the presence of some personal
agendas on the part of our competitors and political masters, the Share swap
and CCF was crafted. Think for a moment, would anyone even consider
such a deal for successful airlines like SQ? No way. So, even with Rashda’s
departure, is Mas magically going to turnaround and recover? No way.
So now, what next? Whilst the focus should remain on getting the revenue in,the Board should seriously addreess the structural issues starting with the people. Clean up HC first, the rot began there decades ago.

Good
question. Should be answered by the custodian of all things people related, ie
HC, and the Human Potential Development Department which has “Talent Management”
under it. But, wait a minute, these HC people have been around for ages
including the Head of HPD, and MAS has difficulty in locating or identifying
qualified people within its 20,000 workforce? Back to Concerned’s posting, the rot is right there in HC. And guess what?
MAS offers the Voluntary Leave Programme and does not extend VPs and up if they
reach retirement age. Good ideas to trim staff costs and allow natural
attrition to help reduce the numbers. BUT, in spite of Policy, HC just EXTENDED
the services of the VP, Human Potential Development for another year at a
salary exceeding RM20k! Talk about double standards. What is the justification
for this when it is universally known how incompetent these people are? If one
wants to debate the point, then answer this basic question – who among the
20,000 staff has been identified, groomed and is ready to assume the CEO’s
position? The silence speaks volumes for the total lack of proper people
management in the Company. So, what does HC do? Extend
the services of the incompetent. What a joke.

The
most sensible and honest observation on MAS. The staff
are in denial mode and it is always
better to blame others than ourselves. The rot is too deep everywhere.

Mas is
doomed BECAUSE the employees whether management wiil never
change. Majority of the staff understand its not about merit or efficiency. From
the beginning those who want to go up must SUCK UP AND VERY HARD
indeed and majority are selfish in their career. Just look at the union with their
greedy leaders. Who made them .Even without Tony or Danny , MAS without
spoon feeding as from day one its a goner. Dont get upset by this remarks.
Take a look yourself in the mirror before blaming others why you and your
airline is nothing to be proud of.
Take note of Concerned. He has a point to ponder.

Totally
agree. It is easier to blame others than yourselves. The fact is for all to
see. The airline is bloated with staff, a majority
of which are not really interested in helping the airline raise its
profitability. The union behaves like a mafia. I am not a fan of
Danny and he simply does not have the leadership skill or absolutely zero
people skill. I have worked with him, and he is the worse the CEO I have ever
worked with in my 23 year corporate life. But the airlines problems go way
beyond Danny. And no one has the balls the make the drastic change required,
especially when any CEO appointed will have to deal with the mafia union!
