You may like to read what the Employment Act in Singapore covers
and who it excludes. People who earn more than $1600 as executive
do not get the benefits or rest days of the Act and anyone deemed
to be managerial level is not covered by the act at all. Also,
Employment Act does not care about yelling. if you like to complain
about yelling, MOM will ask you to file your own civil suit in
court as a personal case.
