150,000 Singapore workers have had their pay cut by 25% since mid-March - ---- safe to multiply it by x2 or x3 times to get the actual numbers.

There's probably another 300,000 more who got cut by anywhere from 5% - 24%. Anecdotally I hear of many companies instituting 5% - 15% cuts from top to junior management levels. There are also a lot of other initiatives undertaken by companies that result in reduction in take home pay although they may not officially be classified as pay cuts. These include reduction in OT opportunities, removal of various allowances, removal of reimbursement of certain items that can usually be expensed as part of work.

Should cut more. Many are useless idling surfing porn and shopping websites.

 

[A Singaporean]

How many are retrenched?

They need another 25% pay cut to sustain their jobs.
