You know what kind of country Sinkieland is under the PAP regime, and what kind of 'media' SPH/HWZ is.

No one should be surprised at this.

Just a reminder: not too long ago SPH Media was turned into a 'not-for-profit' entity. That means it is funded by mostly taxpayer money. Which means SPH/HWZ now provides a 'public service' as directed by the govt.

I wouldn't even waste my time browsing HWZ. It is an insult to your PC or phone browser's cache storage.

Another New Round of Heng Ong Huat on the way....Rejoice​

UBS Plans Next Round of Layoffs in Credit Suisse Integration​

  • Cuts expected in banking, markets and wealth management
  • Swiss bank has said it aims to save billions in staff costs




UBS Plans Another Round of Job Cuts

UBS Plans Another Round of Job Cuts

UBS Group AG is planning another round of job cuts as the firm continues to trim headcount following its rescue of Credit Suisse, according to people with knowledge of the matter.


The job cuts are expected to affect more than a hundred positions across the firm’s global investment bank, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.

The reduction in force — which goes beyond a routine pruning of underperformers — is scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, they said.

Commentary: Think career resilience, not job security, amid season of layoffs​

Stellar work performance and consistent skills upgrading offer workers no guarantees they will be spared retrenchment. Think of “future-fitness” instead, says JetDev’s Jolyn Ng.


SINGAPORE: Over 260,000 tech jobs were cut last year, and it seems like retrenchments are still coming. According to tracking website Layoffs.fyi, more than 50,000 tech workers have been laid off in 2024 so far.

Singapore too saw employees lose jobs in major firms like Lazada and Amazon this year, with Temasek-backed online cashback platform Shopback the latest to announce a 24 per cent cut to its headcount on Mar 19. And it’s not just tech: Tetra Pak will axe about 300 manufacturing jobs while Unilever will cut marketing roles in Singapore.

Such massive layoffs for an extended period of time would have been an anomaly not too long ago, especially with some companies making cuts despite reporting healthy revenue.

Now it dawns that this could become the norm - even for professionals at the top of their game. Employees’ focus naturally turns to how we can increase job security and protect ourselves from getting retrenched.

GOOD PERFORMANCE IS NOT JOB SECURITY

The worry for employees now is that stellar performance and consistent skills upgrading promise no such security. The mantra ingrained in many of us - work hard, get ahead - offers no guarantees.

It doesn’t matter how innovative, productive or any other KPI an employee had on their performance review.

The reality is that strategic business decisions are beyond individual control. The top reason for retrenchments was business reorganisation and restructuring, according to the Ministry of Manpower statistics.

Perhaps it was a bad business call. Shopback CEO Henry Chan acknowledged in a message on the company’s website that he made “the mistake of pursuing too many directions as a company and expanding our team too rapidly”.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in November 2022 after laying off more than 11,000 employees that he had bet on the continued growth of e-commerce after the pandemic but “got this wrong”.

Businesses also shut offices, as they shift priorities and streamline operations.

Home appliances maker Electrolux confirmed in February it would shut its Singapore regional office, axing local jobs while some of the leadership team relocate to Bangkok.

And in a time when industries are transforming to keep up with technology and innovation, particularly with artificial intelligence, layoffs are seen as a quick way to free up cash or stay lean to pivot quickly with trends.

CAREER RESILIENCE IS ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE​

What’s the point of upskilling if we can’t prevent our retrenchment? For one, it’s about the worker, not the job.

There are always two responses to change: Resign oneself as a passive pawn or build resilience and bounce back. Instead of focusing on desperately saving legacy jobs, we can direct our energy into building “future-fit” agility across roles and industries.

Think of future-fitness as embracing change confidently, ensuring one is strategically prepared to thrive in disruption and uncertainty, not just surviving to protect jobs. Being adaptable and continuously picking up new skills is one way to do this.

It might be hard when so many of us attach our identity - and sometimes self-worth - to job titles and employers.

The future-fit view career shifts as organisational recalibrations rather than personal failures warranting self-blame.


Companies may change rapidly, but our capabilities stay with us as valuable assets.

They are as Delulu as Agent Gin?
When you read the threads there where people are comparing their slavery and wages, fantasising about their ideal partners, cars and houses. Even to the extend of space exploration (when it is never possible). It is all proof that the people over there are delusional.

And a number of threads there were usually started by suspicious characters like government shills.

Whereas the contents in TR Emeritus is more of a reality check in Singapore
