A Malaysian engineer recently vented his frustration at a local Government-Linked Company (GLC) for “wasting his time” after initially agreeing to hire him but ultimately rescinding the offer after 3 months.

Shared by his friend, who provided more context on the matter on the Engineers Malaysia Facebook group, the post has since caught the attention of Malaysians.

 

A Malaysian engineer with 17 years of experience was rejected by a GLC firm because his pointer was 3.00 decades ago

The post revealed that the individual is an engineer with 17 years of experience in the industry, including in consultancy, and possesses an Ir. with Practicing Certificate (PC). 

During the interview for the undisclosed position in the GLC firm, the bosses who interviewed him agreed to hire him and even set the remuneration package.

However, after 3 months of waiting for the offer letter, the engineer was suddenly rejected by the company.

The Human Resources (HR) department told him the reason was due to a new policy by the company to only hire those with CGPAs above 3.00.

This meant that despite the engineer having almost two decades of experience in the industry, he was rejected due to his CGPA being below 3.00 when he was an undergraduate.

To add insult to injury, the position was actually filled by the engineer’s friend, who, despite not having the same level of qualification and experience, had a CGPA of above 3.00 when studying.

The man asserted,

“A waste of time. 3 months waiting for the offer letter. Seriously, it’s a waste of my time. The hiring manager agreed to hire me, I passed the IQ test, I negotiated the salary but was rejected by HR due to my pointer decades ago.”

Malaysians gave their 2 cents on the matter

In the comments section, Malaysians felt sorry for the individual but believed that the reason given by the HR department was just arbitrary so that they could hire someone else.

One commenter opined that the company probably wanted to hire someone for a lower salary and came up with the CGPA requirement as an excuse.

Several commenters echoed the same sentiment, saying that the GLC firm chose to opt for those who demanded lower remuneration packages to save on operational costs.
