I read some forums n hear-say where it was claimed that many HR staff are foreigners...especially from phillipines,etc.

So I guess it's natural that these HR is calling for pay rise.

It's a win win situation for their kind and general good for the toilet and table cleaners.

Its an excuse for them to increase price and justify for it.

[Maroon5]

its jus a vicious cycle. your pay increase -> business cost increase -> prices increase.

For my company will no depend on wat HR expert or any article recommendation.

 

Pay rise or pay cut depending on company profitability.

Private sector is like that.

 

Inflation? What inflation? My problem is it?

 

And this mindset is shared by many bosses.

 

Cannot really blame them because they have a bottom line to watch.

Profile of the average salary man in Singapore

Education: High school

Age: Early 30s

Occupation: Security guard (actual person I know)

Salary: $1,600 (estimated take home)

Assumptions

6 day work week; single; contribution to family expenses not included

Transport: $120 per month (to and from work only)

Mobile phone: $50 per month (as an average)

Meals: $120 per month (one meal per day at work at $5 per meal; others not included)

Cigarettes: $165 (assume 1 pack every 2 days; $11 per pack)

Entertainment: xxx (variable)

Total expenses: $455 (based on above)

So approximately 30% of the salary is spent on basic necessity (cigarettes being the luxury here) and that's discounting entertainment expenses, breakfast and dinner, home purchase payment, savings and etc.

How the hell can one survive comfortably with a $2,000 per month salary?
