Moi friend in local bank also quite jialat.

Sinkie management culture really very bad.

I thought local banks are filled with.. you know who..

 

[StoicGuy]

It depends on your character also.

A simple test.

A. Urgent operational/production issue.
B. Continue meeting with CEO first.

If you have a scheduled meeting with CEO but suddenly got very urgent operational issue that needs you to coordinate the recovery.

If you choose A, then you are not suitable for CS or GLCs.

Some big MNCs has this an interview question especially in Singapore, especially you had worked in GLCs before..

Sinkie pwn sinkie stories for your Sunday naps.

101% CS is very unproductive and offer the good worker will leave that place while the cmi ppl stay and move up the ladder

 

[soulblader_89]

becos they nvr fire wat...iron ricebowl....

those yearly review is for show...

at most they transfer to do other thing or reduce bonus

increment sure have...just very little like $50...

promotion very slow...but it is slow for everyone anyway....

this type of environment surely many incompetent...and they dun leave...govt agencies no headcount to hire new ppl...

 

[Shion]

sinkie pwn sinkie is a culture and behaviour flowing thru our bloods

 

[tatsit]

isnt this the foundation of sg's education?

you think bell curve is about studying hard or finding ways to make your fellow classmates score worse than you? because if everyone is clever, everyone's score cannot be high.

how do you think govt agencies and GLC conduct their promotion practice? they have limited space for promotion and everyone is fighting for grade A. here comes the bell curve to the rescue, and to get promoted, you have to make sure your fellow colleagues perform worse than you by backstabbing the sh!t out of them.

Office politics is everywhere wha

glc and govt agencies like to hire "scholar", i gt some scholar classmate come in same time as me, but work in different office...more atas...

they gt different treatment/ scheme for scholar people....

very obvious class system

like a E5 normal employee vs a E5 scholar employee...

the scholar E5 will be higher position and more salary, despite u all same lvl, and scholar tend to promote faster, regardless of performance

 

[wwenze]

Let me put it this way

You want to build your career on productivity? The average productivity of a person's whole lifetime is not enough to pay for a $3M condo

 

[yuzu28]

What makes you all think that there's lots of sinkies there?
There are PRs and many many new citizens, indo, msian, indian, tiong, Myanmar...

I always thought that hdb n tc are on friendly terms until few weeks ago, tc asked hdb to confirm abt the S&CC n no reply till now.

Last year, I asked my tc again on the status of the noisy exercise equipment that we had been sufferings for weeks, tc asked me to check w hdb n bsc.

I thought tc dare to ask me to do it instead !!!

Now I know.‍

I even asked this f exercise equipment agent this year too to lessen the noise n they replied will come down to check n advice not to slam it as indicated on the board.

I replied how to prevent ppl not to slam when users are short, tired n no strength, kids, this is human reflex etc..

1 week later emailed agent to ask for any updates n to provide b4 n after rectification, agent MIA


So now residents still sufferingS due to agent, hdb n tc jlb ....

 

[soulblader_89]

reason thing is slow is becos too many ppl is involved...but too much dependencies

got 1 time, some simple issue can resolved within 1 day...but need approval from many parties

like if this director is on leave until end of feb, u cannot just approve it...have to wait till he come back...

vice director oso on leave

then he come back, the situation have change and new problem arise...have to rediscuss solution....

the existing solution does not work alrdy...have to retink of solution and seek new approval again...

happen again and again .....

What is E5? The paygrade?

Myself and many sinkie professionals I know in private sector would rather work in multinational office where sinkies are minority (with no specific nationality forming the obvious majority) rather than in a sinkie majority office

 

[iceblendedchoc]

the backstabbing culture is cultivated since primary school, where you have class monitors and school prefects. students were taught to report any misbehaviour to teachers.

whereas schools elsewhere and international schools here only have class reps, which are mainly tasked with dissemination of information or doing the saikang which no one wants to do. and students were taught "snitches get stitches" early in life.
