500 people queue to take lift to office every morning

[dancingshoes]

Just after 8:15 on a recent weekday morning, people were already lining up in front of office buildings in the city center. The longest line had more than 500 people, all waiting to take the elevator.

Xian Wei, who was standing in line at the Dongbao building, said he usually has to wait anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes for his turn.

The 33-year-old works at a software development company. Though the workday technically starts at 9 a.m., he said the company's president understands the situation and tacitly allows employees to show up as late as 9:30.

Why not come that bit earlier or after 10. Or use the stairs. Even on the 20th floor, it will not take more than 10 minutes to get there.

Yah, I was going to say this too. Why can't they use the damn stairs? Stupid boss also encourages them to use the lift.

No excuse. Install an Electronic Lift Gantry at 8am and it will encourage the poorer serfs to come in early.

just like your whatsapp crashing, there is no planning, just a go ahead. besides, you can reward yourself for your stupidity by buying groupon voucher to eat chilli crabs and get served some crap.

lifts have to stop at every floor?

 

[songsongjurong]

adopt ERP style gantry.

obviously the lifts were not run by SMRT. if all take at same time and never break down, what sort of farktard CEO would hv no shame to raise his own pay by another $2mil for his failure to perform.
