Pros
• You’ll develop amazing coping skills. • You’ll learn how to work under pressure — like not knowing if you’ll be paid this month. • Great place if you enjoy unpaid overtime, emotional damage, and being blamed for things you weren’t told to do.
Cons
• Salary arrives fashionably late — perfect if your landlord enjoys surprises. • CPF contributions are a monthly mystery — it’s like roulette, but with your retirement. • Job descriptions? Just decorative. Expect to juggle five roles while being told you’re “not going above and beyond.” • Promotions? Based more on how well you perform in office politics than actual job performance. • Management style: gaslight, gatekeep, and ghost when accountability is needed. • Respect for employee privacy is nonexistent — casual monitoring is passed off as “team bonding.” • Leadership thrives on blame — someone’s always in trouble, and your turn is just a meeting away. • The culture is part reality show, part popularity contest: speak confidently about nothing, and you’ll fit right in. • Staff turnover is so high, you’ll meet new people every week — if you last that long.
