No wonder bosses prefer foreigners.

[Sticw]

So bosses pay for 4 days only? Lol

[Goldmine]

Singaporean becomes lazy unlike the Pioneer and Merdeka generation. Influenced by Scythian. Want high pay with min work and long annual leave.

[Blasterlord2]

Not 100% or 99% meh? How can it be only 72%?

[Oyk]

No wonder bosses prefer foreigners.

Parents have only one precious child who has been pampered from young. Double income household, the kid never lacked.

Waiting to inherit the condo or landed property or 4rm HDB. Father's Rolex watch is conspemed his to keep.

No longer hungry.

Foreigners will work 6 days for you.

[Blin]

So bosses pay for 4 days only? Lol

Just add 2hours per day x4,  workable to some.

[Tee tiong huat]

So bosses pay for 4 days only? Lol

Than another 3 days who will work lehh?.

Half right, you must know today working age is 10 years older than our grandparents Pioneer era.

simpler jobs were then plenty but is now taken up by cheaper foreigner labour and perhaps AI or automation in not long future.

We still have quite a number of 12 hours and rotating shift works around, 
and everyone know these jobs are no good for health in the long run. 

While I agree 4 days is not suitable for us, but is clear Spore workers are crying out for more rest, 
at least for private sectors.

Good for Singapore workers (four days Only - Boss pay for four days work) also good for others workers too, if there's work for the next 3 days, others worker too can tell Boss, good for boss.

[Buffybuffy]

No difference. Many nowadays go back home still reply emails or group chats until late a night. So even use teams as chat and replying round the clock. So long as there’s network, you can and you will be working

The employee seems to imply that a week of work is too long and they just want 4 days. So pay them for the 4 day work week and still get the job done lor.

[KILLjoy]

4 day work week meant for the ruling party themselves most importantly

Good question but it's quite complicated....

If Singapore has plenty in terms of manpower, which is not the case, we can do that if the operations can be structured such that one team works from Monday to Wednesday, another from Thursday to Saturday.  Roster to switch or not, it all depends.  Very complicated.

Some companies' processes can allow that kind of arrangements, some cannot, so I cannot generalise.

But we need to have enough workers to do that.

Even when these MPs are "working", they are actually "sleeping on the job". LOL!

I stop watching this after she left the parliament.

Bad for Singapore.  Singapore will die if we work only 4 days. We are a Trading hub. Shipping/Banking documents/logistics/Compliance clearance, International  trade settlement all have to be process fast and efficiently.  Time is essential. It is the essence of our survival. We goes slow and relax we are finished. We don't have natural resources to fall back on. Only manpower. Even our local manpower are going extinct. Not self sufficient. We have to rely on overseas supply. Lucky there are abundant supply overseas. If not we will surely die one day. We have to re-ignite our economy. How? That's a good question. We are facing great challenges from neighbouring countries.  I hope we are aware of that. We have to stay united to survive. It will be an uphill task more difficult than LKY and Merdeka gen. time.

Don't worry for this 12 hours rotating shifts. No lack of takers. JHK, Indonesian, Thais, Myanmar and Vietbamese will fill it up. 

Want to work better grab it. If not will be gone under your eyes the next time u look at it.

From competition views point I agree cannot relax much.
but if look at our birth rate, something need to reverse horrifying birth rate
mind you that Spore birth rate consist new born of non citizens, PRs.

fYI 4 days does not mean everyone have work the same day, 
However I do not support 4 days mainly because If benefits cannot brought to pvt sector, 
we would not see any improvement. Because on average pvt sector work 1 to 1.5 days more then govt. sector.

1.5 hours  shorter per day in weekday across the board would be a better choice to 4 days work. 
It can applies to shift work as well.

As sporean age , we cannot just work hard.
If automation cannot yield productivity as like simplygo, then should stop look for better applications.

[ArielCasper]

So bosses pay for 4 days only? Lol

4 days week at 80% of current pay.

[Ola]

I also want flexible in 2 ways:

WFH 50% of the time

shorter working hours ie 9:30am to 4:30pm

[Gstalk]

I prefer 5 and the half days work days

Some employers would love the idea.

For some it may be good news to them if they not too concerned about income..

That means banks, clinics, post office and places that need workers to serve will open only 4 times per week.    

[Huliwang]

Another thing is if this 4 days work week gets through, a few years later another survey will show that 82% of Spore workers want 2 days work week. Looks like PAP already foresee this happening and is pre-empting it with foreign workers so that sinkees can stay at home and complain in forums every day.   

[Sticw]

Ideally nobody wants to work for money but work for things we are passionate about. So we should work towards not working for money, period.

Reality is I work from 7am to midnight everyday without fail unless I'm unwell or away from this country.

But imtan exception because I am a boring guy that doesn't have meaningful hobbies.
