Apvman 2nd Gear September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 Another shocking news..... MML just said the retirement age will be 67 in future and later on, it will be case by case basic with the employers... If you can still work at 67, just accept any jobs and dont be choosy. If MML is still wanted by the team thunder, he will still work too... Aiyo, he and us differnet leh... He at 67 working and sitting with aircon on and receiving with a VERY WELL TO DO pay... how to complain.. Us.. working like s--t, and by 50 if u are still around in the company, u should thank yor lucky star... Most I see, by 60, already working as cleaners, guards etc... Even if u want to work at labor jobs, also no one wants u... For those towkays, no need to say lah... u want until the company goes down also no problems... just normal folks like us will suffer. I already give up on my CPF withdrawal... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Clutched September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 IMHO, raising retirement age only give more benefits to high income earners, who stayed in power. Regards, At that age, do you have the mental strength to deal with power. I would rather take a lesser job, one that have regular hours and have a income. Plus point would be to look at young .

Sgnick 1st Gear September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 (edited) I say the govt lead by example and start hiring new employees who are above 65 to work clerical jobs in civil service. Anyone can extend the retirement age of their existing staff, but try hiring a freshie 65 years old. I challenge the govt to do that. Time to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. Every post vacated by someone in civil service, replace by hiring someone from outside that is >65 year old, then train them up from scratch to do the job. I dare say even the govt agencies won't want to do that, like everyone else, they prefer hire young workers.

Regards, Example, a customer service counter staff at HDB branch offices resign or post office resign, hire a 70 year old to replace. Doesnt matter if they outsource to employment agencies, they can always tell the employment agencies "Find me only above 65yo please" Edited September 4, 2010 by Sgnick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpie 2nd Gear September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 Example, a customer service counter staff at HDB branch offices resign or post office resign, hire a 70 year old to replace. Unless, they set the requirements for the agenices to only provide senior workers of certain age and above. I guess sometimes, these out-sourced agencies also don't want to take chance as they have KPI to upkeep. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear September 4, 2010 Share September 4, 2010 young workers will still be cheaper than senior staff.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
