Raymondism Twincharged June 22, 2011 Share June 22, 2011 no offence, if you don't share, how we know it's possible? maybe a summary would suffice? its very simple dun think too much just decide what's important in your life.... and give priority to those one thing for sure, everything is important for many pple but what are the things you cant live without? everyone will know wats important to them... e.g. a family earning $3k a month can hv two kids... and you will hear another family with combined income of more than 15K saying that bringing up one kid is difficult... who is right.... who is wrong?

Tigershark1976 Turbocharged June 22, 2011 Share June 22, 2011 another wtf article... who was actually surveyed.. how did they conduct the survey?? according to the article..72% of sg employees would be happier working two years past the official retirement age without any additional financial benefit.. funny thing is none of my colleagues felt this way... so i guess we belong to the other 28% of singaporeans whenever there are such survey... it means the gov is gg to raise the retirement age again... and the CPF withrawal age??? most likely to increase as well..

It found that 72 per cent of Singaporean employees would be happier working two years past the official retirement age without any additional financial benefits. The survey also showed that 66 per cent of Singapore employees interviewed said their career now demands more education and training than ever before, while more than a third said they felt their current job was beyond their current abilities. Interestingly, four out of ten people surveyed would prefer a position with more responsibility, even if there was no increase in salary. The survey also indicated a high level of confidence among employees, with 61 per cent believing recruitment of good talent had been increasing since the financial crisis and 65 per cent believing their companies were in a good position to hire well-qualified staff. The findings also indicated a four per cent rise in employee satisfaction to 61 per cent among Singapore employees since its last quarterly release. However, 74 per cent felt that more people would leave to work abroad in the future. Randstad regional director for Singapore and Malaysia, Karin Clarke, said this highlighted the priority for employers to focus on strong talent retention and attraction strategies. The research surveyed 405 Singaporeans from May 2 to 13, as part of a global quarterly survey of 13,565 employees, which tracks employee confidence, mobility, job satisfaction and personal motivation. - CNA/al There it speaks for itself.. only 405 people.. not enough.. and who know the 405 people who survey are those that maybe being arrow to do survey and they may not give truthful answer.. on one will ever knows..

Kiadaw 6th Gear June 22, 2011 Share June 22, 2011 I didn't read the full thread, but IMO, If needed, then very sad, but if its a choice, why not. I intended to work until the day I die, but I do not want to have a job past retirement age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
