For me, in private sector, not senior position so dont have such "voluntary" stuff.

 

But in civil service, not senior position will kena the most "voluntary" stuff.

 

 

My bro in civil service, middle management. Even on annual leave also need to work on laptop cos of minister and public complaint. But for me, when on annual leave, just put up the "Out of office" reply, no one will bother me.

Recently, during a radio show, they interviewed the founder of Plan B who was a former CEO of a MNC. I thought I heard him said, the government should not brings in top civil servants from the uniform group but to have people from the real corporate world with real exposures and experiences. He gave this piece of suggestion to a minister that smile with no reply.

 

The morale of the story, as long as this group of people are in power controlling, you need a 'coup' to change this mindset. :a-bang:

You look at who is at the top running SPH? Ex military General. Took them so long, way too late to go digital. Lucky got Ah Gong to support (@ tax payers' money), else belly up long ago. Edited by Vinceng

This is Singapore. Whether it is ST, Today or Newpaper, the news are similar even photo. Why print 3 different prints? Sad that we are so short of reporters and photographers [thumbsdown]

Ya, when my bro was working for AVA, weekend also must work. Cos the fish market/polutry/pig/various raw meat processing/import places are still operating. They take turns to work weekends. This will go on until one day SG dont import raw meat, which I dont think will happen. [laugh]

 

 

Even MP also have to work on weekends("walking the ground") and late into the night(MP session n block visit).

I dunno what's this PSLP scheme. 

 

Well one of the reasons is his work requires a high security clearance. He doesn't work from home.

My OC's fren, who was last GE duty, told her one. But truth is, I think most officers rather not burn the saturday and forgo the allowance.

It's a very long burn. The GE duty takes like almost 12 hours.
