Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

I see a pattern. Your request for advice is actually just a request for people to nod in agreement with your viewpoints. When they give you advice (tough love like someone said), you don't like it. More reason for some of us to be convinced that you are the issue and not so much those companies. If...

You are wrong. If you did read, you will realise that a few of my bosses in sg liked me and I was competent at my job. But some of them were later replaced by aholes. I am just objectively saying I see a lot of politics in sg and many ppl being fired (not just me). In fact the more competent you ar...

There's definitely a problem with bullying and power deranged bosses here. Thankfully, I have 1) options (to work elsewhere if i want to) and 2) money and also 3) a small business which brings in a few grand monthly to pay the bills. :P SG's business environment is definitely much better than say C...

The corporate setting here (and actually most parts of the world) is filled to the brim with stupid and incompetent aholes and crazy women. It's the truth whether u like it or not and whether u are part of it or not. I worked in multiple corporate environments in Singapore over the course of eight ...

There's definitely a problem with bullying and power deranged bosses here. i think there is competition and politics to some degree in every workplace. but i think once again spore seems to take it to a very unhealthy and dysfuntional level where there is no sense of fair play seems to be the same ...

this is one interesting article i read recently. sadly i also happened to know another person who was employed at this company and he too was forced out within a year in the early 2010s. i believe he was unemployed for like almost 6-9 months thereafter...this guy was married with kids and was the on...

A carpenter or plumber may be paid like 100k in the big cities of Australia. But I can't drive around sawing tables or digging faeces all day. It's just I am not made for blue collar work. Not every executive job. There are many executive jobs here that are paid low. Only certain industries like ba...

Sounds like you're not made for any kind of work. After all, you've failed at "executive jobs", you seem to ge...

Spore pays higher for almost every job for white collar degree holders. Especially after tax.

Australia pays more for blue collar workers but I am not blue collar.

I thought Australia salaries are higher. You can see the median and mean wages or networth of people in Australia, it is better than Singapore. err no, i live in a small city with very few jobs. putting that aside, do you guys feel that sg is indeed more political and there seems to be a lot of fir...
