Singapore has the world’s worst annual leave

[Kopites]

For Jap , it is in their culture they avoid taking leave. Not that they are not entitled.

 

When jap takes leaves .. they vanish into thin air . When we take leaves , we still need to check email , make calls , join conf. Again culture different.

Nod Nod.

 

I need my m1 passport to be on 24 hrs for whatapping.

Want many days of leave, CS or PS is the best place. But also depends on individual ministry and job nature. I have friends in CS who also have to slog till evening hours.

i hv 48 days to clear next year....

Theoretically, I can get 56 days AL to clear in a year. Full 28 days brought forward. Including Fambree care and off in lieu can be over 60 days lol.

 

That's if I carried over so many. Usually I have to clear when I get the chance cos of difficulty in finding cover from VC. No one else wanna farm mushroom in the North.

 

Anyway, yeah, 28 day AL like you pundek.

Telecommute?

I already telecommute a lot. Meetings etc. Once even on a weekend drive to Malaysia I telecommuted as a proof of concept. Drive 250 plus km/h with other AMGs, rest stop play computer...er...work.

 

So I think neither of us really have the burden that's spoken of in this thread. But we better shut up before someone accuses us of HL for this shit also.

 

Honestly, I'm sure some MNCs give much better in sg and lots of MCFers are just being quiet about their better leave packages here. The survey was also very flawed - simi use "minimum mandated" as comparison? Why not use median? And include other forms of paid off days?

I hope system error and deduct all your leave on 31st 2359.

[Sdf4786k]

Ya I only have 28 days

 

actually, for banking staff, you need to do block leave so 25 days of annual leave is hardly enough to compensate for the long hours.

 

But you go annual leave, the undertakers volume sales pluge, can cause a slide in the econmy GDP by 0.5%

China win again ...

 

HANGZHOU (China) — Two companies behind a Song dynasty-themed tourist attraction in eastern China are giving their thirty-something single women employees extra time off during the Lunar New Year to “go home and date”.

 

In a notice on Monday (Jan 21), Hangzhou Songcheng Performance and Hangzhou Songcheng Tourism Management said unmarried women over 30 in “non-frontline” roles would be granted an extra eight days of “dating leave” on top of the traditional seven-day break.

 

Those workers also had the option to extend the dating leave, the notice said.

 

Single women over 30 are commonly regarded as “leftover women” in China due to long-held conservative beliefs that women who remain unmarried beyond their mid-twenties are less desirable to men.

 

But as more women focus on careers, many are marrying later or opting not to marry at all.

 

There were more than 200 million single adults in China in 2015 and the marriage rate has fallen every year since 2013, according to data from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

 

The companies operate Song Dynasty Town, a popular tourist attraction near West Lake in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.

 

The park is the biggest of its kind in the country and based on a period of Chinese history about 1,000 years ago. Visitors must wear flowing traditional robes while in the park, and those who refuse are given traditional “punishments” such as being put in stocks.

 

The companies’ dating leave decision was greeted with enthusiasm by the employees, according to Hangzhou Songcheng Performance human resources manager Huang Lei, online news outlet Zhejiang Online reported.

 

“The ratio of men to women in our company is about the same,” Mr Huang was quoted as saying.

 

“[but] women employees mostly work in internal functional departments and some are show performers ... some female staff have less contact with the outside world. Therefore, we hope to give more leave to female staff, to give them more time and opportunities to be in contact with the opposite sex.”

 

Huang also said that if these women were happier in their personal lives, they would be more productive at work.

 

The announcement comes after a high school in Hangzhou last week offered single and childless teachers an extra two half days of leave per month to find “love”.

 

One internet user commented on Weibo: “Who would the single women date if the single male employees aren’t given extra leave?”

 

Another wrote: “If a woman doesn’t worry about marriage, it’s because their standards are high and they are too picky to fulfil their wishes.” SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST
