Agree with you on that.

 

Esp some type will bring in their own village and the entire dept all same passport...but how do you guard against this?

 

Cannot answer. cos i don't earn a million dollars. [laugh]

 

I think restricting nationality types is too restrictive on the company. Especially in smaller companies like say only a small F&B chain.

[thumbsup] Great discussion!

 

MNC while being able to pay more, corporate culture different. Though the ladder to climb is higher and longer, so probably more advancement opportunities.

no leh. from exp. mnc pay is over rated. maybe just for the top top few performers pay is fantastic. for the rest it's so so nia.

 

if you are average. join the civil service for above average pay and job security. [laugh]

I'm working with a local agency now and they take good care of all the staff. Most of us are locals, but we have a few FTs who truly are talents. Integrate well with us and work well with us. That's the kind of FTs we like and need. Problem is, now we got all these mudder fudder jokers coming in here with sloppy work performance and see us no up. Like that tiong family who actually wanted their Indian neighbour to stop cooking curry. Shocking part is that the gahmen actually agreed with the tiongs.

 

Anyways, came here to say that most local SMEs are very good when it comes to giving priority to locals in terms of hiring and keeping employees happy. MNCs, not so much.

You are lucky to work in such company. My company full of foreigners, one office in one dept alone 10 over people, only 3-4 locals. -_-

no leh. Civil service is only good on starting pay nia. after that pay increment are really bad.. unless you on fast track. and also must be in correct ministry. if not you become a under paid over work staff.

True. I guess the job stability compensates for the lower pay raise.

what i heard from my friend in Civil servant is that some will quit and then join back after a few years of experience to get higher position and pay. and guess what.. most will have more pay then those who faithfully stay in their job.

 

i guess this is happening island wide for all company. Singapore dont practise reward the loyal worker well. [mad]

he Asst/Deputy Director mah.. maybe average hons but good working attitude leh...

 

or best.. all the good candidates leave liao end up he is the only one to promote [:p]

 

i got a friend in JTC, around 29, he already Asst/D Director and drawing around that figure. First class Hons. but his colleague who are older are getting lesser and not promoted as fast.

 

btw, he wasnt on fast track just that his department have lots of oppounity for him to how his worth. a smart fellow from humble family background. very smart too.
