I can understand tat certain companies hav their own rules of employment but sadly, i couldn't bring myself to agree with the way the co where i work for, work.
The contract staff r on a 5-year contract basis, n with the co tat r owned by the government (mine is a semi-gov co), it is mostly automatically renewed, if not it would be done with 'not much difficulty'.
In the co tat i work for, the employment turnover is alarmingly high n staff were naturally absorbed as permanent employees once the 5 years r up. Those who r not interested would hav gotten off the ship long before the contract ended. Recruitment then was constantly on n new faces come n go (or rather, came n went).
However in the recent years, the company tat i m working for is not doing well. Actually, it had been tortured n drained off for a long time, but it only succumbed to its injuries abt 2 years back. And becos of tis, those deserving contract staff r short-changed n r dismissed. The contract just ended without any EOC (end of contract interview) or any review at all. It was only after being pressured by the union some time back tat they hold the eoc interviews again. But even so, the co is still under trauma. It needs more time to recover. And so, the number of staff being let go r still higher than those who r absorbed. Now, the co sets beforehand the percentage tat it wants to retain n not base on individual's conduct n performance. Tis is the fate of one of my senior colleague. It's js disgusting, especially considering another fact tat the crew working on the ship now is gradually lesser tat wat's essential. Tis is becos recruitment had been freezed more than 1 year ago n the ppl resigning/let go meanwhile was still ongoing.
The more disgusting part is tat the co prefer to train new ppl (rumors has it tat they're hiring again soon) than to retain the experienced ones. In my line of duty, i truly believe tat experience count especially during crucial moments.
The co should hav a guideline to retain its staff base on their record. On whether to accept the offer to stay, it is purely up to the employee.
