This is the second country that I work with. First in Taiwan for 3 years in an electronic company. I just want to share with you my experiences... In Taiwan , they have this saying "first impression last". If you do 10 good things, and you did 1 mistake..., for them you're still good.
One day, I did a very huge, big, titanic mistake with the product involved. It became a big lost to the company, and for the record, I'm the first and only one who did it. Actually, its the machine problem, but since it is my machine I'm responsible for it. I did not check immediately the machine if the output is good or bad then the machine produced a lot of bad output.The machine runs 24 hrs. 3 persons were responsible for it because we had 3 shifts. Among the three, I'm the one who accepted the mistake, since it is discovered during my shift.
After a month , It's the anniversary of the company , and it's bonus time. Everybody was excited for their bonus, except me, because I know I will not receive any single cent because of my mistake. We're three batch in the company, the first batch which is three years already received 18k NTdollar, the second received 15k NTdollar, and the third batch where I belong , received 10k NT dollar. I'm not excited to open my payslip because I'm expecting a ZERO.
Then to my surprise I saw in my payslip it's 20k NT dollar. I told my co-worker, "can you please check this, there's a typographical error because the 1 became 2". When I went to the bank, its 20k NTdollar. I really can't believed it. I reported immediately to my manager, that there is an error in my payslip for me I didn't expect any bonus, because of my mistake, and now I received the highest.
The manager said, even I make a mistake, they still believe in me, among the 200 Filipino workers. They said that I'm the most serious one. I wanted to disagree "no I'm crazy!", ( but it's only on my mind). It's a big money, I'm really happy, because its the fruit of my labor.
Here in this country they have their own interpretations, if you do 10 good and do 1 mistake.... you'll be bad all of your life, and there's also the bonus. Even if it is other people's mistake.... it will also be your fault. Look how sweet they are.
I'm a very peaceful person, I hate arguments, instead of arguing with them, since it is impossible for me to win anyway, because they will insist that they are right. All I do is to sing
"I did my best
But I guess my best
wasn't good enough
'Cause here we are back
where we were before
Seems nothing ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we oughta stay
or head on out the door
Just once ..la..la..la.. hmmm... followed by why, why, why, Delila.
Well I hope it's an isolated case, there are some Moroccan who are nice person and with pure heart.

All the managers came to me and very angry.... "why did you do that....bla..bla...churva...chenez...etchuz....sprakinayts...biz...bizzz. (actually it's my own language because I can't describe their face anymore). I tried to calm them, I wanted to say, "hey guys why so stress, only half a million lost. You cannot bring that money in heaven. The end of world is near!!! repent, repent, alleluia". Again it's only in my mind, because if I say this maybe it's my world will end that time. So the least thing that I can do that time is to accept the mistake, apologize with matching tears and colds and at the back of my mind I said.... "I did not kill anybody huhuhu".
