Contract jobs getting popular with irresponsible employers



More PMETs are being hired on contracts, according to figures from MOM showing that some 70,000 PMETs were hired on contracts last year, up from 67,000 the year before in 2011. The contract period for PMETs typically runs from 6 months to 1 year.

Ask the Sinkies how many can afford to survive on contract work when they are committed to a 30 year mortgage and a host of family and social commitments that must be paid in cash every month?
Ask the foreigners and none will be against it as they know they are not here for the long haul or their commitments are not like the albatross on the neck of the Sinkies.

These conflicting realities and demands in the lives of the Sinkies are simply brushed off as non issues. No one will bother about it. Sinkies are soft, timid, lazy and it is their fault. Why can’t they be like the foreigners and work on short contract terms?

Now, would the Sinkies know who to blame for the plight and the fix that they are in now? Do they understand that the system is designed against their well being? Would the Sinkies wise up and decide what is good for them and do the necessary to help themselves, to change the system that is loaded against them but in favour of the foreigners and the elite?

The housing mortgage is a 30 year monthly repayment that must be paid every month. The household expenses cannot wait. The children’s schooling and expenses cannot wait. The monthly bills cannot wait. Contract jobs is contrary to the well being of Sinkies when they are faced with continuous barrage of bills and payments and any period out of job and without income is unbearable and crippling to their life style.

The proliferation of contract jobs offered to Sinkies must be regulated and reduced. How can Sinkies live with impermanent and temporary income when the expenditure is continuous? Companies offering contract jobs to Sinkies when the job is permanent in nature is irresponsible and unfit to be good corporate citizens. They are exploiting Sinkies and compromising their livelihood for short term benefits.

There are jobs that are temporary in nature that requires short term contracts, fair enough. But there have been many cases exposed that the nature of the jobs are permanent in nature but being offered on contract terms that detrimental to Sinkies with their list of family commitments.
So?

RB

Of course cannot lah. And these Sinkies will definitely not be happy with PAP so most likely or even for sure they will not vote PAP, tio bo?

So if I were PM Lee, and given the huge reserves at my disposal, my solution will be to create conditions enabling at least 60% Sinkies to have real permanent jobs and with decent salary and hence happy with PAP.

So that Sinkies with contract jobs remain a minority.

What do you think of my solution, assuming if I were PM Lee?

Your solution is brilliant. Because the smart Sinkies will also become the majority with decent wages and and also make lots of money, if they are in business. And happy too.

And if smart Sinkies are happy, of course they will not join the opposition, except maybe for a few.

And with few smart Sinkies joining opposition, the opposition will be weak and not ready to be govt.

Hence the brilliance of your idea. It is killing 2 birds with one stone. Make majority (smart) Sinkies happy and also the opposition not ready to be govt.

depends on what you want to accomplish.

Good solution if your aim is to stay in power forever.

Aiya, RB, best chow lah!

Super elites already say they are and everything for the best of sinkies.

If sinkies cannot cope, then must be sinkies fault. should consider alternatives lah like working in a less fast pace society.

Leave this place to the super elites since they know it best.

Any time and every time not enough labour, just go South Asia all add up whole South Continent has more than China, South Korea etc added together. Where have problem to fill up SinkieLand when shortages occur.

Next time NS not enough sinkieland born, just make newly minted foreign born sinkies can liao. Trained them in M16, GPMG, M60 Tanks, Apacche, F16, submarine. No problem. Garment already say sinkies too slow, too expensive, too "no betterer". no worries. Riot just once in haf century mayhem. Putting all the heavy and state of art weapons in foreign born newly minted sinkies hands sure fire proof riot proof rebellion proof 1000% no problem super talent brain policy.

Police and SOC troopers also same. not enough manpower just give out new ICs can liao. Instant sinkies. Why bother baby bonus, new S$20,000 housing grant blah blah blah .....

Surely, Sinkieland is very different. Confirm wont end up like Egypt or Gaddafi and kena linched by traitor mob. Sinkieland has super talent and people like kee chiu. 1000% command and control. Super strategist. Better than Sun Tzu. He see kee chiu also need hide in a hole cos kee chiu one in trillion super talent. super strategist. Sinkieland can only be better under such super talents like the 4G leechders. Sinkieland will go higher and higher under the fabulous 4 super 4G leechders waiting in the wings. Pls give them 100000% sapoork and dont kpkb.

Those who cannot even go near them with a 10-foot pole or holding their noses, also dont kpkb. cos must be sthg wrong with the sinkies nose and sense of smell. the stench of the 4g cannot be betterer than the best perfume you can buy for your beloved for Christmas present.

[Google Bus Protests Get Uglier When Somebody Smashes A Window]


Protesters who gathered around a private bus transporting Google employees
from Oakland to Google's Mountain View, Calif. headquarters
broke a bus window on Friday.

Tech companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook
provide buses to employees to help with their commutes.

The protestors are angry because they say
the influx of tech workers to these neighborhoods far from corporate campuses
are driving up housing costs.

Cannot say those employers are irresponsible just because of contract jobs.Dun be a daft,kena brainwash by those kaykhiang and sour grape who does not have entrepreneurship or who fail in their business.

Should be grateful to these contract employers instead as they are the one who create and provide jobs to those who need the.

None of these employers have a Taurus with them ,aiming at the job applicants.

Be grateful to our employers.

I thank my contract Towkay for the good job that he gives me.Without the job,no money to buy 3 meals,not to mention my cigarette and go for my mei mei hugging.

When greed overwhelms conscience,
it is a dogs eat dogs society.
The Rich and Powerful will have no qualm
to exploit, bully and manipulate the dafties.
However, in Sin the dafties are quite happy
to be sullied.

The contract jobs are the employers' exploiting strategy in addition to the FT in flood policy. They made you hungry for survival, you are slaved to become cow, horse, and dog; your mind and body are chained and further brain washed by the ST. You will never know you have a tomorrow! Exercise your right when it is your time to vote in 2016. Let them know you are also do business with them.
