Merry Christmas 2006

Merry Christmas!!

That was just a stark reminder of the realities in employment facing Singaporeans – above 30 year-old – in the years ahead in spite of the rosy picture the useless lapdog NTUC is painting. And if you agree with the CPF ‘restoration’ of up to 3%, just be careful you might not even have a single cent going into your CPF anymore.

And this isn’t a joke nor a curse. Because where I worked, the application management side has employed absolutely no locals at all. The head of that sub-section is headed by an European expatriate who is a complete asshole and the rest of them are Indians (with one exception being an Indonesian). That’s not mentioning that the team was built from scratch, and not as a result of the resignation of locals.

Above which, with members of another team (all locals) departing on their own will or getting transferred, it is likely that they will be replaced with yet more foreign labour because I have seen some of the CVs.

It just ain’t so merry for me anymore. * sigh *
