This evening, the news reported (once again, reiterating) that workers go for upgrading because by end of this month, there will be more people being retrenched (sort of asking u to standby for this bad news). Many schools for those upgrading courses will increase their capacity of intake.
Well, so wat if u got a certificate after retraining? Spore depends greatly on exports, so, if international communities dont order goods from us, it doesnt matter if u have honour or masters degrees.. there is no jobs available. Told 47yo abt this on Sunday and she said "ya lor, im so tired of being in and out of jobs for the past 2oyrs! We are really at the mercy of employers and the economy".
Another scenario is after u have completed ur upgrading, u must need to vie for lower end jobs because it is near impossble u get back to similar jobs with similar pay. Thus, no choice but to accept menial jobs with low pay and long hours. Grumble? Nvm, many ppl is hungry for this job if u dont want.
An article ive came across said something very true. Singapore dont have companies that are among the top few in specific industry in the world. Eg, Taiwan (Semi conductor chips), Japan (Sony, Toyota) and Korea (Samsung, Hyundai). Demands worldwide for cars, chips etc are hugh enough to create employment for it's local citizens.
Besides urging us to upgrade our skills, surely our 1st world govt can do much more than this.

i overheard my manager talking about sacking people at sakae.
and she said if the manager dont sack the part-timers, she will sack the top supervisors and managers. T^T
some should really get sacked.!!
Oh no, u need to find another job soon, just in case u got retrenched.
Employers are pratical lah..they will tell the govt no choice, coz need to lower cost, else, they will move their biz overseas, then more locals have no jobs. It is like holding the employees at hostage.
