Finding the right ingredients for a successful career: Ir Victor Cheung
For many Hong Kong engineers who finished secondary school in the 1970s, choosing a career path was straightforward. Having picked the science stream in secondary school, aspiring youngsters who did not like their chemistry or biology as much as their maths and physics would choose engineering rather than the medical sciences in university. Ir Victor Cheung, however, did not have that choice. Growing up the son of a cook, he seemed destined for a life in a commercial kitchen too – until two mentors stepped in.

又去讀書？
公司同事跟我說，她打算Part Time進修了。既然是Part Time，我自然不能對她的決定太過說三道四了。反正你在工餘時間讀書，影響不到你在office hour的工作表現，我就沒有任何投訴了。我初初做老闆時，是蠻喜歡同事在工餘時間進修的。喜歡的理由其實相當自私：同事們去讀書，一讀就兩、三年。以前公司規模細福利差，要留住員工，是件天大的難事。同事們話要去Part Time讀書，好處是在「讀完書」之前，工作方面會相對穩定。只要作為僱主的我，能在工作時間上稍稍提供多一點點彈性，平日對同事的表現不要太苛求，這兩年，這個同事九成是不會離職的。中小企千方百計想員工的turnover rate能夠低一點，當你聽到同事們去Part Time讀兩年書的消息，還不覺得自己是中獎乎？問題是，香港地會在工餘時間進修的人，九成也不會是為興趣，又或者是對為了滿足自己對知識的追求。每天返工早已讓人筋疲力盡，晚上和週末還去上課，求的當然不會只是一點滿足感。大家辛苦讀書，是期望讀了這些書，能在事業上更上一層樓，賺取更好的待遇。我不想過份地潑冷水，但除非你所讀的是歐美超名牌大學的MBA，否則孤寒僱主如我，很難單單因為你身上多了一張半張證書，而給你升職加人工的。
