Wow your smartThis happens to agencies everywhere (not just Malaysia) because of the business model : hire the least amount of staff to do the most amount of projects to maximize the profit returns for the bosses. There is a proper term for these sort of workplaces including the kind Steve is talking about : Sweatshops. lol
Staff clock in at 9 am or earlier, work nonstop till 8 - 9 pm, and bring back the laptop home to continue from 11 pm to 3 am lol, almost daily, and forgo all their weekends. This isn't just exchanging 5 days for 2, it's doing 7 days for 0 at the same fixed salary, and working nonstop at maximum intensity.
For anyone here who can't find their FTE, they should try working in an agency.
For people who want to start an agency, you should find countries where the government offers grants (e.g: 50% grant for website dev/SMMA work) to small businesses. Then, pitch this grant to small businesses there ("get a website done for only 50% off") and make this your "business model", and roll in the big bucks lol That's how many of the "agencies" here operate and the bosses are all driving supercars.
