Why everywhere also retrench

[Prime 13]

I m doing gig now. But its very satured cause too many ppl doing. Jobs getting cheaper and cheaper. Earn 1 to 2 dollars job u wanna do?

Then chiu can 'retrench' chuirself.
But chiu are not a retrenchment lumber.
Gig economy ish the best thing happen to govt.

You sure everywhere tio leetrench? Today during lunch, left table happily discussing about upcoming trip to New Zealand, right table happily talking about new cars. All happy and laughing. All is good.

Ya I shared about my recent Korea trip and upcoming jp trip.... Nice sharing....

Chum! By then gig job like Grab drivers, Taxi drivers also replaced by "Autonomous Taxis", "Automonous Buses" (in trial now in Punggol, NTU, etc), and Delivery replaced by "Robots", replaced by "Drones", etc.!

Sat inside one... Got horn by vehicle with driver cos exit to main rd too slow... When I exit, I look at autonomous vehicle sticker at the side and behind.

If the smart and blind people can drive. I am sure this is a good country and is a blessing to be here...

can pack home prepared food mah

Pack once or twice a week still ok. Everyday pack also will run out of ideas what to pack and how to go lunch with fellow colleagues? Later become outcast in the office.

those tio pok won't eat in a group

Ya so many still haven’t Tio pok lor. An lah, the worst is not here yet.

they have been playing the games for many many years . they know how to go around all those policies even those new wayang policies. they were purposely left with loopholes until ppl find out and complain then they will "patch" it and the vicious cycle continues until sinkies do something about it .

You are absolutely right.

My foreign intern just gotten the approval from MOM. Converted to Perm now

HR knows the loopholes very well.

Many companies do not want to employ Singkies, not because they are expensive but other factors.

Young Singaporeans will work as Grab or delivery eventually, and that is considered employment.

Next time 40 % population are unemployed mainly over 50s n fresh grad can only do gig job

Can hired many many Visitors after that.

Very strange?

Why Singkies keep talking about retrenchment while young foreigners are pouring into Singapore for job opportunities. 2 of my foreign interns have converted after graduation. The company knows how to play the game to obtain EP/SP for them. HR knows the loopholes.

Many foreigners are coming to Singapore to look for jobs because jobs are scarce in their own countries. Singapore is the best country in Asia which opens its legs super wide for foreign workers.

4G ish the best government. Citizens collect used cans cum bottles. High paying jods for Visitors. It all starts with the EP being origin.

because they not strawberry.

fall down? just stand up rar... no need to think too much about the uneven road, just stand up and keep walking.

The gate cannot be closed because Singapore is run like Inc. Without young foreigners coming in to take up jobs, Singapore is finished. Singapore only advantage is human capital.

The gate will open wider and wider as time goes by.

Young Singkies must embrace such change. Learn a hard skill so that when you are retrenched after 40s, you can still make money out of your hard skill while looking for the next opportunity.

You got learn ma?
