those who are doing well will not feel what the others are
suffering. And that doesnt means what is going on is
right.
The best way to cope with today's ridiculous non-stop hike and
raising living standard is to make more then the hike, but how many
can do it? What if 1 day you fail and join in the group that
suffers?
whatever is not right should be corrected. i agree most people
can still cope but at the rate it is going up, even if you are
lucky enough to survive, can you assure that your family are able
to do so? your relatives, your friends? Can you be an Ostrich
forever hoping that you are not the unlucky ones?
I guess majority of the people think this way, but i hope at
least they are aware of what is going on. Telling me it is
wrong but nothing you can do is better then telling me everything
is fine, the system is good.
Oh no, i also increase my staffs wages thru their performance,
later we manage to get a consultant, he told us to use contractual
obligation method, so now all my staffs are under contracts basis,
no need to bother about their medical, leaves eetc etc. And if they
dun performance, can ask them to go if contract finished. Quite
fair to both the employer and the employees, but lack of loyality
and trust.
I also understand the predicament of workers or so called
the wage earners, most Singaporeans perhaps 80 percents are
wage earners, they tight down at the expense of wages and govt
policies. One can never be over committed as a wage earners,
however economy lies in the purchasing power of wage earner, if
bosses lower their salary, they spend less leading to economy
meltdown.
Less Salary=Less buying=less demand=less supply=poor
business=economy meltdown.
Bosses also understand the need to raise salary at match the
market condition, if not, turn over will be high, productivity goes
down and business will be affected.
