Survey: 68% of Sinkie empoyees don't get pay rise when promoted

[Confuseous]

According to the survey, 53 per cent of Singapore companies promote without pay because they prefer to offer a performance bonus instead, while another 47 per cent prefer to offer their employees more flexible working hours. Additional annual leave is also offered by 35 per cent of HR managers in lieu of additional pay.

"Employees like a challenge, but there are risks for companies offering a promotion without a pay rise. While pay is not the only factor employees consider, if companies do not provide adequate compensation either through pay or other benefits, then they may lose their top performers to the competition," said Ms Stella Tang, Director of Robert Half Singapore.

Employers have discovered that Sinkies love fancy titles to impress their neighbours, never mind the pay.

Promotion is usually not a good thing in Sinkieland.

More responsibility, more shit to do, more stress.

If not properly compensated, there is no point getting promoted.

Take it easy, relax and don't work so hard.
Certainly, you should do a professional job, be punctual and try not to create troubles for the people around you.
But there is no need to 'piah' until your face turns pale, or to work ungodly hours at the expense of your social/personal life.
Fuck the country's GDP and fuck the rat race. You are not defined by your job. Live your life and enjoy it.
