no car but property

certain days each month, deduct pay

It is better to accept a lower pay now to help the company to tie over the situation  than to lose a job completely, hang in there and hopefully situation could improve quickly.

Nowadays many on contract schemes especially in stat boards. So no need retrenchment. Just don't renew contract.

True, many companies even those big companies common to offer contract job as short as 6 months only. Then they assess your performance and see if they want to renew your contract, rather than hire you as full time basis, and if you cannot make it, they cannot get rid of you. Lol.

Yup as Sosaria said... But you know what, the bigger irony is that those good performers tend to go faster... Those lousy performers but loyal and suck up to their boss tend to be more secure.

wah tiagong banks starting to recall risky loans

if business doesnt recover soon.....then 😬

no spread fear...

🤣

It is not in their interest to do that esp when recession is not expected to be protracted. Banks are likely to offer interest repayment arrangement while principle loan is deferred.

So contract such as 6 months counted as jobless or employed? So if you found a 6 months and rest for a year, depending on when they did the survey, employment record very good right? Can one plan if you are constantly on 6 months contract? That is one of the big problem today many employees are facing. No comfort of a secured permanent job.

If people are looking for a long term job, 6 months contract indeed no good. Unless the person is looking for short term job only, then such contract job is suitable for them la. But i also wonder how come companies would offer such 6 months contract job?
