Wife get overseas posting, and husband quit job to follow along to the overseas location, is a plausible scenario nowadays. Obviously a lucrative enough opportunity to make such drastic decision. By the way, nobody talk about wife get retrenched, the default is usually husband. But in dual-income family, if the wife is retrenched, it can have an equally detrimental effect to the family's income.

KNN Aiyoh. Its just part and parcel of career. I was retrenched twice, shiok shiok take money. Dont so weak lah. KNS. oh maybe these guys over commit in their big ticket purchases??? In that case, next time, dont. Heehee in any case, welcome to the Brotherhood You were lucky. Nowadays retrenchment 'benefits' are not a given (not mandated by law either). Companies can give all sorts of excuse to say bye bye without any payout. Like you say, good luck. Don't depend on company giving you anything. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt lucky per se Both times i was working for politically sensitive big multinationals that had to make sure that retrenchments are managed as such. Everybody knows that in SG retrenchment bemefits are not mandated by law and therefore in favor of the company, so as to attract businesses The type of companies i work for are not able to run away from paying out retrenchment benefits even when not mandated by law. Thats why i join them muayhahhahhahhah. Edited February 14 by Throttle2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think depend on individual, some people still can and have no problem jump here jump there even in their 40s. Then if lucky some in their 50s still can change job. So must see if you are those high flyers or the type of job you are looking for. Age not necessary would play a big part of cannot find job. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG whatever union is useless Last MNC company I worked for had retrenchment in mid 2000s. Proper packages, golden handshakes etc. I wasn't one of them but fast forward 20years later,under younger management, it's forcing workers to leave through PIP or discomfort in major job scope changes.
