temperament,
ReplyDeleteYou think why I went back to working weekends at the selling floor for next to nothing?
I feel good that I still "have it".
Can entertain the recently married young couples with my nonsensical style of humour, flirt with the more mature female customers, and once in a while, practice my Zen when customers or supervisors half my age raised their voices at me...
LOL!
All employers want to hire cheap. Most jobs don't need experts or 10 yrs experience. Can mostly fulfill job functions and continue to bring in revenue can liao. So the only thing is how expensive the worker??
ReplyDeleteEven illegals also can as they are even cheaper, provided got sufficient margin of safety. If say the law changed to mandatory 10 yrs jail plus 10 strokes rotan for employers, then most employers will say not worth it liao.
The main cure for flooding of foreigners is that their home countries quickly develop and their home salaries rise enough, to make it uneconomical for the effort & sacrifice to come to SG.
Currently many of them are earning in SG equivalent to 6X to 15X their home salaries. I used to work with foreigners who openly tell me their 1 month SG salary is equal to 1 year's pay back in their home country.
With this kind of 15X difference you can't hold back the foreigners & the employers, unless by forceful legislation & enforcement.
Since SG operates on pro-business and many of us also want SG companies, stocks & REITs to do well, hence foreigner flooding will still have to continue for at least next 20 years.
I rather let foreigner work hard than I work hard!! Hahahaha!!!!
Haha I also kena fallout from depressed wages --- finally decided not worth to slog liao! :) :)
DeleteSG govt will need to prioritize their policies and see how best to balance economic growth & social stability. This one too headache for me to worry liao. Hahaha!!!
But seriously, if you look at SGX blue chips, performance sucks over the last few years, especially considering the tons of liquidity sloshing around the financial systems. Quite pathetic compared to US stocks or even Indian stocks. This is one argument for being globally invested, or at least being aware of various opportunities.
Most people who made money in local counters are those who bought at lows e.g. 2009 or 2011, or who are lucky in punting small & micro caps. Now is punting for IPOs ... Hahaha, reminds me of 1990s.
Excellent effort to make this blog more wonderful and attractive.
