Longer term projects or personal work assigned to ownself have to find the time to do outside the official working hours, either come in to office early, or go home late - before the rest of the zoo comes in . Or like me, reach and leave on time, but do at home later in evening or weekend. More efficient with no distractions.

Might as well say can go home like that means work is not busy at all, that's why everyday can go home on dot. 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf4786k Twincharged March 25, 2024 Share March 25, 2024 (edited) looks like its coming soon. Why Singapore Employees Need To Be Ready For Retrenchment In 2024 | DollarsAndSense Business #1 Companies Are Retrenching – Potentially Viewing It As A Path To Sustainability We’ve been reading about a wave of companies retrenching their employees this year. Some that have made it into the news in Singapore include Shopback letting go 24% of its employees, Lazada letting go an estimated 100 people, Unilever realigning its marketing team in Singapore, PropertyGuru laying off 79 employees, Tetra Pak closing down in Singapore and 300 employees will be affected, Electrolux relocating its regional HQ from Singapore to Bangkok, and more. This trend is not unique to Singapore either. Many of the biggest (and possibly smallest) companies globally are also looking to align its workforce with its requirements. They include Amazon to Google to Discord and Twitch. Read Also: MOM Responsible Retrenchments – Guideline For Companies To Be Fair And Decent #2 Retrenchment Statistics Are On The Rise According to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) the rate of retrenchments more than doubled in 2023. 14,590 workers were retrenched in 2023 compared to 6,440 in 2022. While more people may be looking for new roles, they will also be hit by a slowdown in job vacancies. In December 2023, the job vacancy to unemployment ratio was 1.74, compared to 2.30 in December 2022.

An environment of higher interest rates will inevitably affect global growth – including in Singapore. With a signal that interest rates may stay elevated for a longer in 2024, investment sentiments may dampen on the back of higher borrowing costs. At the same time, the post-pandemic explosion in e-commerce has meant that many businesses pivoted into it. Not doing so would be akin to giving up the potential growth. Now, it may be time for companies to relook their initial hires. With technology constantly evolving, and potentially more companies jumping on the AI bandwagon now, there may be greater “churn” in the economy – as DPM and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong mentioned in his Singapore Budget 2024 speech.

This was already on the news months ago.... and discussed until death on various singapore forums. Not impossible, but feasibility is quite low. Need to coordinate 2 ships to docks in nice nice timing on both sides and unload cargo swee swee on one side, transport swee swee to the other side, load swee swee, then some time and $$ can be saved. Of course never say never. I think PSA have to quickly brainstorm worst case scenario. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
