tio bo?
some employers knew that it takes more than 3 people to handle the workloads but they want to save cost and just hire your alone. Then pressure you to work until you break.
Normally the clause
"able to work under pressure" includes willing to bribe foreign entities on behalf of company and takes responsibility personally if caught by authorities without exposing the company's involvement. ....
I can also work under pressure, so that I can submit work on time and knock off on time everyday. If last minute work comes in, boss can go fuсk himself.

Very common in small family owned companies, partnerships, and sole proprietorships.
Peepur work for them as a last resort, after being unable to secure a job in the civil service or MNC, or at very least, the bigger companies of the SME category which are a little more enlightened.
Typically, the workers are not unionised. I would even assume they are not that highly educated, not as smart, and hence are easier to manipulate and bully.

Why?
I'd always believed that I should never be afraid there is work to do. Rather, I should be afraid that there is no work, and unemployment is widespread, and you desperately want to work, but there just is no work.
Secondly, there is no harm in appearing to be a reliable and dependent employee to your boss. If given that opportunity to prove yourself, why decline? I was not exactly the smartest manager of all the managers of all departments. But I was the one who went beyond the call of duty strictly according to my JD, and did not turn down any chance that came my way to shine.
I became the boss' right-hand man...and by "boss", I do not mean, you are the clerk and the supervisor, another salaried employee, is your boss. Or you are a supervisor and your boss is the manager of the department. Those are NOT bosses.
When I say boss, I mean someone like Bill Gates or Jack Ma.
Why else do you think I could afford to buy a Chopard watch with loose change in my pocket? 
I am also my boss right hand man, and he doesn't give me last minute jobs.

I cannot comment on that. I do not know your boss, your company.
My boss did not give me last minute jobs for the sake of it, or because he was sadistic and would sit at a corner, rubbing his hands and enjoying the torture he had just inflicted on his employees.
First off, we deal with companies from both sides of Earth, and there was a time difference. When we knock off, our customers are clocking in the other side of Earth. There were many situations in which we fought fire, so to speak. Respond now, send your quotation over, or you will lose the sales order to your competitor. Deliver now, or you will never get another order again. This government statutory submission has to be done by midnight. Do it now.
And on and on.
Yes, I had many last minute assignments given to me.
I was the go-to man, absolutely reliable, and my boss had remunerated me well.

you are okay with it because you are rewarded.
if you are not rewarded, you are unlikely to stay.
why people complain and you do not complain ?
because there are 10 people doing same thing like you but 9 people do not get rewarded and you get rewarded.
SG no minimum wage no working hour restrictions, of course exploitation everywhere.

Most clients do not understand that workers need to rest, if they die die want the job done, they can jolly well wait, if submission is tight, it is their system problem, not company's responsibility to solve client's own problem.
it simply involves dealing with constraints which are often outside of your control - these might be resource or time constraints, the difficulty of the task or having insufficient knowledge required to complete the task, or unforeseen changes or problems.

You have an attitude problem. Your kind is more suitable for a life in Mao's communist China. Work own time own target...song song gao jurong.

There would be no need for Performance Appraisal if it is "Pay me and I will do it. Pay first."
Many bosses prefer that you prove yourself to him first, in what way you are really an asset to the company, how the company's growth and bottom-line had benefitted from your contributions, and if you had gone beyond to see that the company survive in the jungle.
Over the course of a year, the boss would know you better than your wife knows you. He would know if you are a dependable worker whom he can count on, and would do what he knows he has to do. If you say that 9 out of 10 bosses are not like that, then this does not reflect quite well on Singaporeans as bosses.

not 9 out of 10 bosses.
it is 9 out of 10 employees do not get rewarded.
it is very common to see that there are 10 equally good employees in the company but only 1 or 2 will get promoted.

If everybody gets promoted, you will soon have a MacD where every worker inside is a manager.
use unreasonable conditions so cannot employ after long time. the other tartics is low pay for higher position like $2500 for manager. then go to mom to tell story to say no apply
Can pay $2million like PAP
Give work pressure, make them dogs and clowns also can
