How does it feel to go from a $18k a month job to become $3k a month grab driver?

$18k/month has so much money, the only reason for driving $3k grab is so he can receive BTO subsidies while you who worked 10 years to finally hit $8k cannot even buy BTO.

Since the 2000s sinkie mentality ish aim for management jod.
Their rise to management positions ish not organic.
Many work 1-2 years in technical field, then rook for jumps to management track.

Nao these pple hab no technical skills, they are stuck in middle management in the midst of economic shakeup.

Top management hab the power to call the shots, they make policies to protect ownself.
Technical pple do actual work and produce actual value, they feed whole organizations. Sho they are deemed essential and are (somewhat) safe.

Many middle management hab nothing true to offer and not high placed to ownself protect ownself.

Sho when chop comes, these pple are let go.

Lolz.

Actually ownself see open can Liao. There are ups and downs in life, as long as earning honest living, what is pride?

Like Tiong always teach bbfa who can’t let go of their ex to move on: 你放不下的,人家已經放進去了。Same words can be used for life. 🤔

blessing in disguise. your true friends will still be your friends.. your fairweather friends will slowly drift away from you. and you will learn that you can actually live quite well with 3k and you will even ask yourself what the hell you were splurging on before? assuming you were previously a high spender

my plan is to semi retire between age 46-50 and do some random work that will definitely see a huge pay cut, maybe i will even be a cashier and serve my former colleagues. but i guess to work at low paying jobs without money stress would be a new experience.

so i guess it depends on your financial state when u go from high to low paying job.
