Angcheek Hypersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 the most vulnerable group ... the only way out is property agent, insurance agent, taxi driver, become hawker? above all are so called "self employed" ... no company wants to hire old & highly trained staff even you take 1/5 of your last drawn salary or just accept what is offer as market rate ... but always kena labelled as "over-qualify" over-qualify good what ... as long as not over-paid ... no? Highly trained, middle-aged and out of work guess who is the one creating all these vulnerability ? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrocarbon Turbocharged July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 How to not fall when you've worked so hard and climbed so high for 2-3 decades?Easy. Don't climb. Just be happy with a 2K job for life. Then, even retrenched, go find another 2K job = no loss of face. Haha... Don't just rely on employer for salary ba. It's best to have a sideline income, either from teaching others about your hobby, or buying and selling stuff (there's so many ways to sell now that it's laughable if someone claims not to know HOW to go about selling stuff). That way, once your salary is 50% of your take home income, and your spending is based solely on your salary, even if you lose your job, still can be like MCF table wiper, go wipe table and still be relative financially secure. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to be young and have dreams indeed By the time one turns 40 with family and kids to take care of, What extra energy, time and capital do we have to put into the sideline? Most will just forget it as the income from sideline would be quite insignificant given the time and effort compared to the regular day job If the sideline is lucrative, it would have become the person's full time job way before retrenchment even looms 😂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Life is like that, we will reach a peak and after that its all downhill. What is important is finding that peak and when your career goes downhill its ok as long as you find success in other areas in life. Eg. Family friends, health, knowledge, understanding etc... I try to save as much as i can. Usually at least 50%. Also try not to borrow nor pay instalments. So as not to spend future money on things which hold no good value. Wiping tables is a tough job. But someone has to do it. People who have not done it want to do it. Those who have cant wait to stop.

Little_prince Supersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 alot of companies still practice pay cut if you continue to work after 60 even though you doing the same job and same workscope and same perforamance. where is the justice in that? even the govt sanctions a cut in employers CPF contributions after 55 iirc. where is the logic in that? Thought they say must work longer? Why never state clearly it is work longer at sharply reduced pay? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_prince Supersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 that's true. most people career will peak abt 40-45? after that it's a matter of how you control your downward gradient.

Pinobii Hypersonic July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 For those who are ambitious, career must peaked before 40 in order to reach a C-suite position by early 40s After 45, it's best not to switch jobs unless you are confident that the company value older folks and you can fit into the culture of the company especially for management roles Have seen many many cases where people wanted to experience new things, take up new challenges in their 40s because they never did so when younger, only to suffer a pay cut or a career decline after the switch Challenges and risks should be taken when young because the affordability to rebound is higher Take very calculative risks on job switch when in 40s, any wrong move will have a severe impact on career and earnings While the desire to fulfill a wish or dream is strong, sometimes one has to balance between practicality and fulfilling that desire, and most of the time, it would be wiser to choose practicality 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
