Have to learn how to MANAGE your boss. When you say went back for good, meaning no more S'pore in future?

Yup I was the one who posted here to ask for advise on how to handle my clown boss who binds people down for 3 years after getting PR while underpaying the shit outta you where you are unable to find jobs.

Funny shit is how the government handle all these passes. Stating the goddann minimum requirement pay for an S pass or E pass but freaking employer clowns can yet still apply and get those shitty passes even though the minimum wage for the pass is not satisfied at all. Long way to the minimum requirement. Well done

Why the angst? You can find other job?
You know the need for the government to put the minimum salary for the benefits of its citizens right?

Couldn't find... minimum salary for the benefit of the citizens? How does my employer not fulfilling the minimum salary to get my E pass benefit the citizens?

Why did you accept the job then?

Thought it was good. Company looks good on the surface. Met the boss during the interview and seemed nice. All that turned to shit and goes down the drain. Surviving on a 50 to 100 dollars increment per year on a 2k plus salary that is going nowhere for a 28 yr old

My 2 cents is that if the government want to impose these requirement for foreign talents then by all means go ahead. By being lenient and if you are able to not follow the requirements and still able to get the passes. Local effing bosses are able to take advantage of this shits and treat us like hard labour.

Nasty

Furthermore the MOM or labour laws should impose some shit to prevent bosses to take advantage of foreign workers by including stupid clauses in the contract.

But it's alright anyway since my boss issues the passes to foreign workers right

This leniency gave my boss some balls to take advantage of people. If they don't have this leniency then local bosses have to pay higher to get foreign talent. Sorry not higher at least fair or market price.

Benefits all actually. Government gets to restrict foreign talent. Those foreign talent got in are fairly paid.

Don't have to generalize S'pore like that. Purchaser whether it's from Singapore or anywhere else also like to press the price.

Pressing one salary also has no correlation with being S'pore boss or not. MNC also press salary

Call me small as I don't know how MNC does things. All I know is local bosses are cuntx.

Your main problem is not related to MOM's pass requirements
It is that out of the whole SG, only 1 single company was willing to employ you
If you are able to get out of that situation everything else will be okay

Before I join that company I went to few other firms. One of them was worst when he wants to ask me to pay for my own levy. He said like that la our company fucking good we share the levy half half okay? Douche

Just Google Singtel sim only plan.

It's postpaid plan without phone. We don't spoon feed here. Go and do googling yourself ya. Sorry I don't have the time to spoonfeed also wink.gif
if you think you got cheated and already has the ability to just leave the company, go ahead and do it!

Why work and feel worse from day to day. Since got so much complain about your boss, no point staying right? You make a fuss here also meaningless what...

When I first came here my salary can consider underpay too.  But appreciate that my company have been pushing 20% increment once complete the first year agreement of not leaving the company, my salary has since gone up quite a bit.

When I first joined, I also not meeting the minimum wages. But now I'm meeting the new EP requirement. That's just 2 years into my work.

You took the opportunity, whether it's good or bad just embrace it otherwise just leave it. Maybe you're not lucky to have met a worse boss than average person here. Move on and look for better ones lo...

Yes i left already. Now back in malaysia. 20 percent is alot. Which line are you in
