Man slapping co-worker in viral video taken by SIM student

[insider]

Maybe all can try to ‘imagine’ what kind of upbringing this man had when he was young and what kind of social life he has been having for the past 29 years.


For cases like this, I tend to put the original culprits as his parents, who never groom him enough to know about what pride and dignity are, for not having to know that their ONLY son was going through this kind of working life with that kind of salary.

The parents may have doted on him a lot but if in the process of doting, they groom a ‘softie’, then all have to do reflections. His dad maybe someone abusive as well, abusing his mum who tolerates the abuse silently. Many possibilties here that only they know what would have caused the only son to become like this. (excuse my plain speculations)

I tend to see from a wider angle, that maybe have to be ‘thankful’ of this evil supervisor who brought out this man’s probable psychological problems (which I believe are deep deep ones) and perhaps enable the parents to seek help for him as soon as possible before this man go further haywire (to suicide) if the parents can see beyond the hurts caused.

It seems to me that this man is ‘used to’ abuse and perhaps may ‘enjoy’ it. He needs help from professionals… (it’s just plain ‘abnormal’ if parents still need to stand out for a 29-year-old ‘child’ as like parents standing out for kiddos in primary schools.)

According to the above article, his internship at the company was only for 6 months. $500 per month for internship is normal. But what I don't understand is why he chose to continue working at the company, drawing this ridiculously miserable $500 for subsequent 2.5 years! There is no employment contract drawn out, he has no bonus and NO annual leave.

Maybe he was promised stock options. So quit university and continue internship. Want to be like Zuckerburg or Bill Gates, quit uni and be billionaire. When the company IPO like Facebook or Microsoft his stock option will be worth billions. $500 per month is a small sacrifice for the billions he is going to make. Not happy then go other companies to work and see if can earn billions... :spank:

Fully agree.
Hard to believe a young and promising graduate tolerated in silence.

It's really a BIG question mark here...WHY did this intern work for this pathetic amount for so long? This kind of daily stress for $500? Didn't his parents know what he had been going through? They kept quiet and let their son endure this? He can't be staying on for the money right? Now after this incident, they asked for $100K. After 6 months, he definitely could leave...no other company to work in? Sitting down and being abused verbally and physically? :? :?

and his parents said he usually work from 9am-11pm and under a lot of stress and worry about his job :yikes:

Didn’t any of his parents ask him to leave? Did they care for him? Such long hours for peanuts!!!

Too little is known or revealed for the general public to make a fair and sound judgement.

Maybe the parents need to go to court to get details revealed. But if the parents don't like what they hear, can they then storm out of court? :scratchhead:
