So if our economy up, but population growth poor, happiness poor, whats the point then? End up more jobs filled up by FT. If SG gahmen continue to boost the economy without thinking the welfare of its citizens, does it worth to do so? Is this the Swiss living of standard? In the end of the day, with much money on your hand, you don't have time to spend your hard earned money. I don't expect gahmen to follow France to make work illegal after 6. What I would like to see is early retirement, more work leaves ,etc On 4/10/2014 at 5:58 PM, Sabian said: In SG, is it against the law to stop work before 6pm?I think this one could be in debate in parliament, seeing France do this, SG gahmen follow suit but not the exact same law Edited April 10, 2014 by Thaiyotakamli Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_blade Turbocharged April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Not too surprise the French makes such move. They are usually quite different. Countries such as the U.K, on the other hand are working longer hours (high street stores used to close at around 6-6:30pm, except Thursday. But now I see some stores open from 8am-10pm.) & gov proposing higher retirement age. But I don't see it happening here, if even if our gov goes crazy and implement this. Most ppl will complaint they will have no work-life balance... cos no where to eat out, shopping, movie, etc after work. Even some of our kids are sleeping 'late'....where sleeping at 9pm is considered 'early'. My kids usually sleeps at 7:30pm & ppl say they are crazy. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macrosszero Turbocharged April 11, 2014 Share April 11, 2014 Has no one actually read the whole news article? It is a regulation that applies to staff in technology and consultation jobs - ie, those that have been shackled 24/7 by push mail and blackberry enabled phones. People talk about the gahment only hearing the good stuff, but it seems netizens also only hear (and meme) the good stuff. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerwoods Turbocharged April 11, 2014 Share April 11, 2014 France govt makes populace laws. Last time they restrict work hours to 35/week thinking more jobs will be created to complete work in office. What happened then ? we all know the answer. Just do your work with the best of your ability. Don't burn your personal time for the sake of work, and don't cheat on your working tme for the sake of personal life.
