Wt_know Supersonic April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 look for a compay that give you company car or compensate you or drive company car (no bmw/merc no talk) you win both ways ... lol Dont have leh. Problem is my company is not a n oil major. Just a sub contractor that depend on oil major for jobs. They dont do drilling or exploration, my company no job, thus not make profit. So we hope for oil price to rise to USD100 days. But as a fellow driver, I hope oil price to stay low. Like that how? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enye Hypersonic April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 most of the time, those who complain pay stagnant are those with very high pay if company give 0.01% less increase to these staff, they can give 10% to other peasant staff so who still say their pay no increase please raise your hand. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktglfc Hypersonic April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 It's actually not. They just take elite salary and peasant salary to average it out. Increment, yes .. but only a bit... Not enough to cover increases in food, petrol, mrt hikes, housing bank loan increases, sch fee increases, etc etc etc etc... So, though I am thankful i have increment, but damned it, still back to square one, after all other expenses increase too ... haiz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWind 4th Gear April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 every time i read propaganda stats like this i wana vomit. 4.5% my ass. They must have included the million dollar miistar salaries and that completely skews the average and media numbers. we also dont know if this is inflation adjusted, or how they estimate inflation. Even if its inflation adjusted, they have some devious method that can exclude daily transport costs (car ownership, COE, ERP etc) from the numbers. the best way to judge if we have a real increment is to compare our own nett savings on a monthly basis for the year, with the same figures in previousl years, as a rough rule of thumb. These dont lie. My figure has been negative fer afew years running. these people ... ka ki kong ka ki song onli nabei ... simi ... again ... last year don't even got 4.5% increment ... pui! simi increment also not enough to pay petrol bill and inflation ... Highest GDP per capita is a meaningless figure to me. i am sorry. This does not mean anything at my individual level and does not translate directly to any real income for me. Saying GDP per capita increase by xxx% does not mean our real wage increase by same percentage. Its just a figure for the politicians to look good and to say singapore as a country is rich. The country can be rich, the citizens can also still be living hand to mouth at subsistence level. That's how we have one of the highest GDP per capita in the world mah [laugh] 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrocarbon Turbocharged April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 all tao kay will stay in their office long hrs de la hahaha I guess you rather dont have increment ... more tax for you only hahaha but seriously nothing is better than home cook food. Not all towkay need stay in office long, unless golf course is considered as their "mobile" office also lor... But yeah, home cook food = best!

NightWind 4th Gear April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 some tow kay like Ho Jinx can happy happy go on 3 months sabatical leave, all at tax payers expense. Shitty Times probably also took her salary into account in their stats. No wonder the increment figures have absolutely no relevance at my peasant level. Not all towkay need stay in office long, unless golf course is considered as their "mobile" office also lor... But yeah, home cook food = best! Something about how my mom cooks is just hou hoi wai (Canto). Bro that is a subtle but very IMPORTANT distinction.
