[Serious post] Seeking help/advice

[YOlkie]

Background:
1. OP joined company in year 2015. Headcount of company was about 40 to 50
2. Got to know that before I joined, headcount was around 70plus or more.
3. Fast forward to year 2024. Company did an internal re-org, terminate one of the contract staff. Headcount is now at 25.
4. Company also plan to post 3 of my Pinoy colleagues (perm staff) back to Philippines branch, (not sure whose which company headcount will these 3 fall under) but these 3 pinoys will be getting peso instead of SGD. obviously, salary will be lesser.
5. OP called up MOM, raising concern that more staffs might be anyhow terminated by the company, or retrenched, long story short, MOM cannot help. Reason given: As long as company follow the guidelines stated in the contract then OP's company is compliant with MOM's guideline.
6. We do not have any union.

Can I seek advice how to get the government to be involved to look into the company's past record? From 70 plus headcount to the present 25. If this is not obvious enough I am not sure what else is.

MOM just pushed me away say they cannot advise.

Any advice?

U still keep ur job, why care so much?

 

[EDMW-Hates-Me]

What law did your company break? If company not doing well, die die must sustain huge headcount mer?

 

[GuiGuZi]

Throughout my working life I never had the thought to get government in to prevent a struggling company not to terminate my employment with them. I don’t know where you get that sense of entitlement from.

if you find the company does not have any more prospect by all means find a new job please. The company will be happy to let you go too.

Freeze headcount and mass retrenchment are two very different concepts

The only advice is to change company.

Suppose u know chances are high that u might be retrenched soon, wouldn't it make sense to seek for better opportunity elsewhere than to stay on as a deadweight waiting to be fired?

 

[needsomeadvice]

[TurboBumbleBee]

Homygotch
Business no gd lah
The company gotta downsize so what do you want?
You’re just an employee you know
You just do your jod and take celery.
Wah run, I cannot believe your post sia
The only way that the government can interfere is when the government buys over the shares of the company
Likewise you want to change the direction of this company you can buy over the shares of this company and do whatever you want including restoring the headcount.
Wah run eh, I cannot believ the naïveté of ts sia 🫢
