Thief Stole from Employer to Buy Racing Bike

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

To be low paid, and looked down upon all day long as being stupid and poor by the boss’ wife, all the while watching the boss skim from the top. All while handling more wealth in a day than he could make in lifetime.

Would be a festering resentment day in and day out.

I sure couldn’t do it.

And I guess neither could he.

Haha!

Everyone working hard to get ahead is a noble thing.

However some Khmer often don’t have the first clue about inspiring loyalty and dedication in their staff.

Just simple things. Paying them more than 50% of a factory wage. Keeping the break room fridge stocked with snacks and drinks. Not letting the missus boss around the employees like personal slaves.

Some try to extract very last drop of sweat from their workers while avoiding paying them. Openly cutting corners while expecting workers to go the extra mile. And then loudly berating they when things don’t go as they plan.

I believe communism crushes the human spirit. Capitalism far from perfect but the best choice for people.

This is true to a large extent. Not universally, but sure as hell up there.
