Astrid 4th Gear May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 alot of ppl seem to be unable to differentiate between surviving on a 6k salary and living the singaporean dream on a 6k salary. Exactly my point! You hit the nail right in their heads! The former sure can one - but many many things have to be compromised. Even between $10-20K pm, there are still many things that'd need to be compromised. All in context of the Singapore today. Not in the 80s, or 90s!!! Not even in early last decade! ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_prince Supersonic May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 This is really our plight for middle aged PMET :(( I can't imagine how I would react if I were retrenched one day :( We are not young anymore, and even though we can possess lots of life experiences and work knowledge, we will be overlooked in the selection interview when compared with cheap FT :( This is even though we ask for lower pay :( Why aren't Singaporeans First policy come in place? Why aren't garmen penalizing companies who are engaging excessive FTs? As for now, I have to "obey" boss instruction, for I fear the loss of family income. I dread the day if it comes few mths ago. my ex boss called me. just hit 40+ and he got retrenched. bullied by ang moh GM. can't find a job with 2 young kids. ask me for help. i did what i could to recommend him for a job in my coy. but somehow can't even get interview! after sending a few times, with no reply, and i keep seeing them hire some ah neh fresh grad from dunno which godforsaken uni. i suspect the new ah neh HR is not forwarding his CVs to the HOD. so the next time i saw a suitable job, i just forward his CV to the HOD directly and just cc the hr. and sure enough. he got the interview immediately. So bros. for those of you with FT HRs. Pls take note if you try to refer anyone in. Go directly to the HOD. i don't know if my story is representative ... or just a coincidence.... but just a reminder to all frenz here. Which service sector this falls under? 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktglfc Hypersonic May 31, 2014 Share May 31, 2014 Look, like it or not, inflation has definitely outpaced wages. 10 years ago HDB flat costs $200k, and chicken rice can be had for $2 or so. Now $3 chicken rice is common, and flat prices are through the roof. Yet salaries have not kept up. Very simple things like that is why we are complaining, cos we can actually see and experience it. Freaking true !! Only our salaries are not kept in pace :( However, garmen's salaries are always in pace, with near-million dollars paycheck. We can see and experience, whereas they can't when their income got so many zeros behind 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
