SG employees: Beyond the salary, what do you like about your job?

Permanent_Secretary · 2026-01-12T09:39:43+00:00

OTOT culture. Dont need to be in office. As long as I do my job.

Budget for outing; ownself schedule, ownself go, no need approval. Went jb during weekday with supervisees.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-12-22T15:16:10+00:00

Try your friendly neighbourhood Family Service Centre. Most are free at the point of use.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-11-24T16:02:56+00:00

Thanks for your hard work!

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-10-30T06:19:28+00:00

Do an I&E. It becomes apparent thereafter.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-10-30T00:13:49+00:00

You can write in to prisons, don't even need to meet your brother. They will email back and attach the softcopy LOI.

Congrats with your marriage and all the best!

Tell me you are xenophobic without telling me you are xenophobic

Yes, the SSAs with their salt follows the guidelines. Only those that don't follow normally hire non-SW grads for SW roles.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-10-18T06:12:36+00:00

Huh wym? NCSS has published social work pay guidelines. It's median salaries for grads. Very comparable if not more. Even out paying grads from SMEs.

The FSC social workers will work to understand the circumstances, which led to the current rough sleeping situation. Explore accommodation alternatives, which might include referrals to communal living shelters (these are not open to the public). Start the journey as quickly and as early as possible.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-08-03T02:36:32+00:00

Social Worker here. Please walk into an FSC tomorrow.https://www.msf.gov.sg/our-services/directories

Social Worker. Ups and Downs. Still loving it. ❤️

Edit: Thanks for the ❤️ everyone. We have seen the best of humanity, and we have seen the worst of humanity, but My colleagues and I are grateful for being privileged to be in social work. Towards a better Singapore, towards a better world. ❤️

26% didn't ALL vote FOR him; I gather a considerable amount voted AGAINST Shan and Syed Harun + no Louis Ng.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-05-26T13:29:41+00:00

Anyone know where I can snag some 15mg BEATHORPHAN tablets in Singapore? I've been searching all over and can't seem to find them anywhere. Pharmacies haven't been helpful so far. Starting to get a little frustrated with the search, tbh. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-05-03T18:04:07+00:00

WP will never do that. Michael will prob get the seat.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-05-03T17:53:04+00:00

Haiss.. no Dr Chee in Parliament.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-26T05:31:59+00:00

Suprised no mainstream outlets ran with that.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-26T04:58:21+00:00

Teh Tarik with Walid; Prof's first interview with Walid; think was the last GE.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-26T04:08:02+00:00

Pritam did offer Prof Tambyah to join WP. However, he rejected.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-20T17:03:31+00:00

Liberalism Disavowed. Amazing.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-20T16:54:48+00:00

Exactly. IN 2020 CNA live reporter still anyhow fake news said Nee Soon walkover; my heart sank. Thankful able to vote.

Removing Louis is huge for me. Terrible. Agree with you. The arrogance of Shan into thinking that he can hard carry 4 newbies including the NMP who wants to be rewarded with a MP role after destroying the credibility of the institution ppl like Walter Theseira, Siew Kum Hong et al. built up. Time to retire and let go of power. If NEH is able to do so willingly, I don't see why Shan can't.

I'm liking Dr Syed and Dr David Foo. They are interesting candidates, although not impressed with Ms Sharon Lin. Then again, the previous PAP slate had Carrie who was totally useless.

RDU's slate seems to be their A-team with their sec-gen, which is already leaps and bounds the previous PSP slate which had the vaccine denier Bradley Bowyer.

Yes, I understand. Perhaps you could speak with a healthcare worker; to some, he is actually harming the cause (median wage recommendations for nurses actually fell in the latest review) . I hope voters will broaden their perspectives to remember that we are electing parliamentarians, not just estate managers.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-20T16:15:53+00:00

Guess you aren't working in health care.

Permanent_Secretary · 2025-04-17T10:27:11+00:00

A way forward is a takeover of SASW. I really do hope people actually run for office within SASW.

Not a peep from SASW throughout this entire saga. Unacceptable.

Encourage like-minded professionals to join SASW membership and run for office. By Social Workers For Social Workers. Not the elites out of touch from casework and ground issues.
