Sdf4786k Twincharged January 30, 2019 Author Share January 30, 2019 This guy complain cannot secure another job at the same level but should count himself lucky he can still stay on until now as PR. Unlike the other PR, former SIA pilot, was stripped of the PR status and asked to go, albeit for a more serious transgression in the eyes of the authorities. If he wants to stay on and enjoy what he likes about staying here and the advantages, then he should eat humble pie, downgrade his job expectations, it's not impossible. But still hope to live like expat ... My view here is, does every Singaporean who move to australia, becomes a PR has the same kind of conviction to love Singapore? If not, then what is the secret to retaining the heart, mind and soul of someone who goes to another country for lack of a better word, a new and meaningful life and builds something better where the country that he leave behind cannot give its citizen. Case in point is, he came from India because India obviously cannot give him a dimension that is the golden opportunity here in SG. From his track record of blogs, it does look like he has quite a fair bit of "work life balance". Blogging about cricket and sports as well as movies and still have time to work and have a family. Which Singaporean as a VP in a bank in Singapore has such luxury of time.? Maybe I should look for a role in DBS to take a slower pace with higher pay. It's a reality that in this day of Internet And cheap air travel, telecommunications back to their country, no one really uproot themselves totally. The three big cultures (prc, Indian nationals, filipino) still have very strong roots back in their own country. I can see my friends or acquaintances are still very much attached to India even though they were born here (2nd generation) or have been here >2/3 of their lives. And yes they served ns etc. and here lies the problem. When the next generation goes into the army to serve and protect the nation. When a crisis appears, which end of the spectrum will he protect and will he be torn in between. There are both sides of story. Every action has consequences, unintentional or otherwise. In India, recklessly fwding Whatsapp msgs have caused riots and deaths. But we also don't wanna drive ppl up to the wall. Sad case is for this man & his family it didn't work out in SG. Hope everyone can learn to be cautious esp posting on public-facing FB. I suppose he is very comfortable in SEO and has already know that the vast expanse of popularity and what it attracts. Just that the expression of what he posted was either taken out of context from his point of view, or he has really no sense of what a Singapore flag and what it means to a nation.

Mercury1 Turbocharged January 30, 2019 Share January 30, 2019 In banking work life balance really depends on the ability to BS, sell the impossible working your team overtime while sucking up to mgmt. I knew a chap good at this leading a team who was totally lazy at my previous firm. Good at pushing work to other areas and one day he got hired by DBS as a VP (some dumb sinkie fell for his BS and hired him), needless to say his time was spent working his team to the limit while he went around Raffles having coffee and drinks with his old pals. Finally most his team quit leaving the function in jeopardy and then he got a new job in another bank as a director.
