Food for Thought

Foreign Workers in Singapore



Foreigh workers may not necessarily be cheaper to employ if we factor in their level of productivity and so forth. A foreign worker colleague of mine is a case in point. She is not only very lazy and irresponsible, she has also apparently taken more days of leave than what she is  entitled to. Yet my big boss gave her 4x increments quite recently! She is definitely a 'financial drain' in my workplace. I won't be surprised if there are many foreign workers like her.
