Chitchat Front line: one retrenched PMET asking for salary 7-8k
- Thread starter SNTCK
- Start date
Did he state what he was doing previously with a 15k salary.?
if he has a luxury car can work as limo driver. $50 per trip, 8 trips per day, 5 days per week can earn him $8k a month.
Nabei the car run on air or fart? No need factor in petrol, car installments etc?
that is if heshe already bought the car when he had the $15k job and instead of selling it can service car loans, fuel and maintenance for less than $8k a month. bet half his old pay of $15k a month went to service his auto loan. after deductions of $6.9k a month for cost of car, can still live on economy lice or nasi lemak and discounted bandung.
and shake legs on weekends.

Management in an oil and gas company.
Now asking for 5k salary also hard to get job.
Looks like 40++ , didn mention about his age
Is he ex PAP voter?or did he switched teams and is now playing for the opposite team?did teo chee hean or Lim swee sway recommend that he apply for Jobs Skills future grant and pick up a new skill or line of work?for example carrot cake hawker or air con repairman?
I see a lot of sinkies like him - can earn $15,000 salary with a big company but cannot "make" $2,000 when he is on his own.
I wonder if our million-dollar ministers, if left to fend for themselves, can make $5,000 per month. You listen to remarks by TCJ on card boxes and Alice Fong. He sounds like a boy scout. As for CCS, has he ever worked in real world ?
Luck plays a part. Some people with good luck can get a decent pay job.
Most probably he finished his 'luck'.
tat one must ask no porn lui
pls dont look down on him,he like most of you just want to be an employee all his life and is unwilling to venture forth and start his own company and bear all the risk of worrying whether his company will be solvent the next day and has to worry about every faucet of the company from manufacturing to logistics to distribution to marketing to hr to the balance sheet and worrying about 200 other people's jobs and whether he has to fire them next week to pay the bills.all he has to do is sit in his air con office and do his job as an employee and collect his 15k paycheck at the end of the month.at least he is not some low class peasant employee like most of you earning ur 3k 4k every month,he is making 15k peanut,and considering he is a very highly trained employee 15k executive with over 20 years experience running other people's companies for them,he is more likely able to know to start his own business.the question is taking the first step forward.
Sinkies earning 10k abv u can bet they voted PAP during the last erection. They deserves wats coming to em, get fuck and be a Uber or Grab driver.
If you worked long enough you will find many people are just operational, nothing strategic about them. They happen to be "lucky" to get the job due to their "qualifications", ethnicity (angmo hired by angmo, ah neh hired by ah neh, chink hired by chink, list goes on), at right time right place.
Very few will change the status quo (even if very obvious changes seen in the market). That is why many established companies sinked once their iron rice bowl business model is drastically affected by macro-economic-social-political changes.
To narrow things down, the macro-changes in the world (digitisation, open door economy, information available everywhere) meant that the Singapore (who ride with the post-WW2 and cold-war western economic boom) advantage has ended. That is nothing unique or special about Singapore or its work-force which can be readily replaced by anyone anywhere.
It is quite obvious that PAP government has zero leverage about the MNCs here (shown by the non-local job hirings and support for Pink-Dot) as they can easily move to KL or BKK as regional hubs. In fact these days with superior IT reporting technologies, the need to regional jobs or offices are making less sense as many local-country sales office can directly report to HQ (and even conduct meeting online).
Just think carefully, how many unique and powerful Singapore brands are there? I can't think of much. Or really successful investment houses or funds in Singapore? Also none.
If one compared to HK, they have a lot more locally owned companies which have global footprints (for example Lee Kum Kee). Lee Kah Shing's Hutchinson investment group has way way more success than GIC or Temasek. Even the HK based Malaysian owned Kerry Group which is based in HK very well oiled machine in the agriculture commodity business. Just compared the value of the listings on HKEX versus SGX. That is the most obvious report card.
it was a mistake leaving the british colonial membership party,under the british colonials,Singapore's economy would probably have flourished more independantly and democratically.the legends of our ancestor industrialists tycoons like Tan Kah Kee and Liam Nee soon would not have been forgotten.instead we had a dictatorial regime that wanted to control every aspect of this country and turn this country into a communist state run economy.
his ex company also need to survive mah. instead of paying 15k for one person, they could hire 5 pax at 3k each to handle multiple projects.
These PMET are useless. If they are any good, they would have started their own business already! It only shows that they are just good at doing useless things like management which any body can do and not innovative job creation.
