It seems she returned to her employment on the basis of promises that were not fulfilled by the company.

Her behavior is called 'quiet quitting'...     the Op's wife appears to have played the game well and received a solid compensation package - I'd argue thats smarter than allowing herself be continuing to be bullied in the work place. 

 

 

What she did is not quiet quitting at all.  Read the definition of it. 

 

Quiet Quitting: doing the minimum requirements of one's job and putting in no more time, effort, or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary...  the definition and the Ops explanation is fairly clear:

The Ops Wife basically forced them to make her redundant or accept that she wasn't going to be doing certain duties and wasn't going to kow-tow to the bosses...

 

Its up to you if you want to interpret something different....

I agree with you. Bar girls could find another job. They are just lazy.

As an amused bystander, I've found this thread both interesting and informative.

I now know that I should treat contributions from:

BritManToo
& Bday Prang

... with caution.

Apologies if the rest of you are already aware of this but I only visit here occasionally and I'm still learning.

It might be the OP is a troll, and this is just his umpteenth troll thread.
On second thought, it isn't might be, but definitely is

Just block him, end of!

How did she get a Tabian ban book then?

Wake up BritMan - many Thai citizens are 100% ethnically Chinese just like in Britain where many British citizens are 100% ethnically from different groups.

I only consider people with a Chinese passport to be Chinese.

Those member you've mentioned above (although there are many many more) I've also noticed are usually full of $hite and definitely have no idea what they are talking about the majority of the time.

Dude, I saw your profile on Facebook. You're full of tats and look unemployed living in some village, yet you are bragging here about being paid bigly by some company.

 

Here's a hint.....don't use the same Facebook username as you use on forums.

You are lying again.

I live in Bangkok, come visit some time.

Your 'consideration' is somewhat irrelevant when it lacks accuracy.

 

Chinese can mean different things based on the context: a person’s nationality, their ethnic background, or their cultural affiliation. 

 

In the context of this thread... its obvious what 'Chinese' means...  The Ops Wife is a person of Thai nationality with Chinese heritage, i.e. lineage is direct to Chinese ancestry.

 

 

The Thai-Chinese (Descendants of Chinese immigrants - Teochew, Hakka, and Hokkien) are just one of the ethnic groups that make up the population of Thailand which also includes Central Thai (Siamese), Northern Thai (Lanna/Khon Mueang), Isan (Northeastern Thai), Southern Thai, (Descendants of Chinese immigrants - Teochew, Hakka, and Hokkien), Malay Thai, Hill Tribes (Karen, Hmong, Lahu, Akha, Lisu, Yao (Mien), Khmer (Cambodian) Thai, Mon, Indian Thai, Viet Thai, Sea Gypsies (Moken and Urak Lawoi).

 

All are Thai but have their own ethnicity and subculture predating Passports.

The one that you said my wife could not possibly get more than 1 month severance.

If you're talking about prostitution, nobody says this.  Everyone knows that there is a choice, but some choose the easy, high paying option.
