FT have 2 meanings.. some netizens interpret it as \"Foreign Trash\".. useless imports.. but dirt cheap..laughingcat:
To me having a foreigner to fill in as admin assistant is really so much about foreign \"talent\".
Today, the use of foreign talent is too loosely interpreted. If it is truly talent, then of course i will be obliging and accept it. But a superficial \"talent\", of which i cannot accept.

Did u guys read about people trying to stage a protest in raffles place on Saturday? It was supposed to call "occupy wall street". I have no idea what the protest is all about.
The police said "outdoor demonstrations generally requires an application for a permit from the police "
Like that still call "protest" meh??? -
Thatโs why I always ask this "does real talent really like such rigidity??"

It is kind of quite disastrous when the most new generation workers have a 'maid' mentality - that they need to be told what to do. When comes to salary & promotion, they have the kiasu attitude. When face with a need to exercise initiative, they have the kiasi attitude. True blue Singaporean qualities...
Asking is good, but not if Strawberry treats you like he's your boss, and his mistake is your mistake, because you didn't warn him of all the various consequences - just one example..concern2:

Strawberry is bad? Or prefer don't ask what to do and anyhow do, then do wrong? Which is worst?
The Manager who manages one the buildings that I operate in is a late 50 grey hair man. A highly energetic and knowledgeable man who I respect a lot (that kind whom if you speak to, you know he is full of ๆ๏ผ.
I wanted to renovate the premises and needed the aircon ducting plan to study how well I could reconfigure the ducts so that it could be more energy efficient.
He couldn't locate his blueprint of the aircon duct and I couldn't discuss with my contractor without it.
He told me it is not difficult to draw the ducting plan (just have to go above the false ceiling and basically see from there and draw). He requested I get my contractor to do it.
But I told him my contractor would not do it for me at that point of time coz I had yet to confirm his service and queried him why he couldn't get his technician to do it.
His and sighed and said, \"Nowadays these technicians are HOPELESS. Besides taking turns to be on MCs, they would feign 'stupid' so that they would not need to do more things. No technicians will do it for me even if they know as they will tell me is not part of their jobscope. Time has changed and people like us who can multi-task and willing to work for much more are going extinct soon. I will wait for my Malaysian technician to come back from his leave from Malaysia. That one more ching chai and will do for me.\" (conversation took place about 10 days ago).
PS: He actually wante to climb and draw for me but I said no coz he is no longer young and so should not risk himself unnecessarily. Those jobs should be left to the more abled-body young men to do...[/quote]
feign 'stupid'? I remember an uncle about 50+ years old in my old workplace ask me feign 'stupid'... because I do so much work even not belong to my jobscope, he said i need to feign 'stupid' sometimes to survive in the company.
But i don't know how to feign 'stupid'... know how to do then do. feign 'stupid' much harder... :scratchhead:
think i am stupid in feigning 'stupid'.

Tharman : we must welcome talent from abroad to create and sustain good jobs

He added: โWe must tread a balanced
path in our manpower policies. Our
economy must remain welcoming to both
businesses and talent from abroad, so as
to create and sustain good jobs โฆ
what is your view on this?
and keep out those white collar FTs :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:[/quote]Ya lor. Continue this train of thought, to get the maxi. Profit for shareholders, employ all FTs right from the CEOs, managers to the auntie cleaners lor. Sure make shareholders belly happy ones. Huge nos of investors sure swarm to invest Singapore liao. GDPs double digits, government very happy to report to the majority stake holder, Singaporeans. Are you happy with this masterplan?
I always believe a balance must be set in place. Don't just quote all the jobs that no locals want to do. The town council cleaner, a Singaporean, aged around 35 plus working around my block is paid $750 gross, working from 6am to 4pm. To supplement his small income, he washes cars for residents for $1.50 per car between 6 to 10pm. every night. Would u do it? Don't simply quote that no locals want to do those jobs. Bosses should strike a balance. Making maxi profit is not going to make you very happy. See part of ur less profit by employing Singaporeans as doing National Service. -

True! A friend of mine told me that her boss recently employed a PRC fresh from China to work in the company as his assistant manager becos cheaper. During interview in China, she claimed to be able to relate well in English. But after she was employed, she was always overheard asking clients over the phone whether they could speak to her in mandarin. Tsk!WCW:
if u r the company, is it better/cheaper to pay salary for foreigners or locals?
foreigners are usually not better.. esp for skilled jobs..
