[GPGT] 7 local candidates were interviewed

[Forever84]

Typical louya boss attitude.

It is both the employee and employer who is being interviewed. It's not just the employer who gets to choose right

Let this picture decide your thoughts.

Sinkies kena troll... Song boh? That boss can go developing countries to set up business. We are a developed country for a long time.

 

[CaptainTeo]

This kind of sinkie only like to step and badmouth Singaporean

 

[workingclass]

Typical Sinkie SME owner. Want to pay 3rd world wages but enjoy 1st world business environment and charge 1st world prices.

If not happy, can always open shop in Africa. Can hire a staff for $200 a month. Also don't need to follow labour laws, and the locals are definitely hungry!

Interviews of 7 interesting young candidates for a job which is a 3k+ salary with 14 days annual leave.

===

Local Applicant A requested not to touch his on weekends and whenever possible to work from home instead of working on site. When told him he needs to work on occasion weekends and off in lieu may be given, he asked for overtime weekend allowance and told me it is the law.

Local Applicant B said that our office is too far for her as she is staying in the east but willing to consider if we can provide transport allowances.

Local Applicant C shared her last drawn salary was $6k and was expecting this job to match. She is only willing to take a 5-10% paycut during probation and expect to be paid the same after clearing probation.

Local Applicant D requested for a team of junior staff to assist in his work because in his previous company, he had assistants to do some of his work. Told him we can not afford, we are a lean SME. His reply, “o.. thank you for your time, I will skip this interview.”

Local Applicant E asked if the company can give him 21 days annual leave instead of 14 days because his previous company gave him. When told he can take no pay leave if his leave is not enough, he said he will reconsider this offer.

Local Applicant F asked for a higher salary and when told we can only afford 3.6k per month, her response was... she will take the offer but would like the termination notice to be shortened to 1 week instead of 1 month... she was honest enough to say, “I am taking the job to survive for the time being while I wait for better opportunity.”

Local Applicant G asked for a guaranteed AWS + 1 month minimum VB to be written on the contract because his previous company, an MNC did that. Gave me a lecture on staff engagement and attracting talents and work life balance.

Good luck to them.

Hello.... now is economic crisis and pandemic...

I felt I was being interviewed as a employer not doing my job to interview potential employees

There are jobs available and there are talents for sure.

But these young talents are not hungry for a job.
Many are not willing to be humble and not willing to suffer. They prefer to work smart than hard unlike our older generation.

I am pro-singapore workforce but.... they make it harder for us to consider employing them.

So stop blaming companies for considering non locals.

We did try our best.

isn't there alrdy a thread on this?

 

[EMPt1ness]

Sounds fake. Why would a candidate for a role that pays 3k ask for a team to assist him?

Is that an IB?

Ya lor. The responses sounds abit fake for candidates applying for a 3k job

Anyway i am not sure what is the purpose of his shietpost. Nvm about ever increasing cost of living, retirement age, property prices, GST? lets have all singaporean jobseekers to start to drive wages to the bottom of the barrel. Best lets keep wages stagnant for the next 10 years, or even better drive for -10% yoy reduction in young grads median salary.

Srsly its these dumb selfish SME owners who are destroying our country for their own wealth

 

[Xmaspresents]

Usually co will states if it is 5 days or 5 1/2 days work no?

 

[Adenovirus]

How can locals compete in an even playing field against FT? They usually come from poorer countries and don't have their families here, hence the willingness to work more for less. If there's an even playing field, American SMEs will be full of migrants from central and southern America. It's not a matter of entitlement, it's a matter of RIGHT that we citizens are prioritized over foreigners. It is right to be unfair to them.

 

[tokong]

Delane also dulan.

Actually she is right. People nowadays want too much. Simi your last job was like this like that so now you want other companies to give you the same things. Siao boh, got job good enough already still haggle for terms and conditions. You follow the company contract, not the company change the contract or company policy to suit you. Knn, jiak sai la.

 

[wadsad]

got what kind of master will have what kind of dogs.

only know how to exploit and csb.

 

[Tony.Manero]

Tldr. Heng she used the term local.

Simple. Trying to justify his PAP masters' rhetoric that sinkies don't want to be realistic and FT are needed, in order for them to justify their failed policy.

 

[whitecabbage]

stupid cheapo boss, 3.6k and 14 day leave only? still want ppl work on weekend?

We are still third world with regards to work benefits.We should live to work not work to live.European countries are already progressing to 4 days work week and yet we are still expecting people to come back on saturday.The 2 weeks annual leave is also pathetic

Jokes aside, many strawberries are very entitled. Just look at the bbfas insisting 4k or they won't work in edmw
They'll be silently doing social distance ambassadors jobs in a year or so

 

[eAtNeAt]

Nowadays sinkies benchmark their asking pay to the safety ambassador and swabbers.
