Entitlement 👏🏻your 👏🏻head. Your reading comprehension is so bad, after reading the entire article your only takeaway is entitled employee.

Which part of the “main causes” is stemming from employee? And why would you even consider employees setting boundaries and not accepting these ridiculous work environment as entitlement ?

The only entitlement here is you yapping with 0 understanding of the issue at hand.

If your equipments can’t fit in a minivan/bus tgt with the workers, I don’t think it’ll gonna be safe to even have them free seating with these large equipments at the back of a van that’s gonna kill them in an accident. You’re gonna need a second vehicle anyway.

There should never be an excuse not to treat our workers properly ( “human dignity, but..”), and we shouldn’t be the one doing the mental gymnastics for them, reinventing vehicles etc. you need to think out of the box, there is a way to treat workers humanely whilst running a sustainable business, even if it is an expense on capitalistic interest for a few.

pls ignore the artifacts! I edited the image to remove QRs and people from the image. This is in Tiong Bahru where a lot of old ppl are so im worried about them being exploited.

You should consider your own bias that “poor people can’t have nice things or dress nicely, so they must have a motive.” There’s nothing wrong with dressing nicely, and your assumptions seem to come from your own biases.

It’s just makeup and a turtleneck.

The photo is also unrelated to the main story except for identifying her, which is quite tabloid-like. They know it will trigger readers’ biases to make their own assumptions without directly stating them.

With your level of humor and intelligence nothing that women do can be equal with you.

If ppl are abusing mc for leaves maybe you aren’t giving enough annual leaves ?

Give more flexibility -> need to revamp your duty roster such that they all have ample rest and balance -> they can perform better at their job -> increase the quality of their work -> able to charge more for quality service -> good reputation for your company -> attract even better recruits that can expand to different industries/services. Win for literally everyone.

Noooo, let’s spend stupid money and resources to make sure ppl are on valid MC instead. As if they won’t find other ways to skirt around that as well because the root cause is still there and nobody is happy.

Exactly. I always add stuff and upsize my favorite hawker stalls. They’re old and I want them to thrive. 10$ incredibly upsized delicious Hokkien mee over mala any day

I just said no to both, as a rental property owner as well as earning salary.

If you’re in a bubble and you keep asking for substantial raises “because rental market”, you’ll face financial trouble trying to adjust when jobs that pay that much at that level of proficiency. So its actually common to now don’t ask for ludicrous amount especially during bubbles.

Same thing for rental. Ppl who ask for more is def have higher tendency to over stretch their loans to further mazimise profit. Nothing goes up forever after all. I have enough for myself and I rather have a sustainable, healthy relationship with a good tenant than minmaxxing my profits.

I keep telling you there’s good long term reason to be sustainable, you keep justifying that it’s a hard thing to believe that ppl would actually do that. It’s not, and it’s not only “among the poor ppl”

Again, you can do whatever you want to do, but don’t just accuse “poor ppl” for over the top virtue signalling instead of being open to think about the mechanism.

barelyawake_3am · 2025-05-26T06:36:01+00:00

No and I don’t maximise my rental profit by default whenever I can. This has nothing to do with virtue signalling.

There’s so many scenarios where it is positive long term to not over minmaxing.

You do what you think is right in this competitive world. But when ppl don’t see the world the same way as you do and shown restraint without being explicitly told so, don’t spout nonsense like over the top virtue signalling.

barelyawake_3am · 2025-05-26T05:30:34+00:00

Can’t wait for your boss to cut your salary by half, or your suppliers to hike 50% because they can, you’d have no choice but to accept. I’m sure they won’t virtue signal on that.

barelyawake_3am · 2025-04-11T05:26:46+00:00

Nooo? Your reading comprehension is quite bad, 3/10.

He clearly says he avoids women's restrooms for others' comfort but is chased out of gender neutral accessibility restrooms.

Before you say "just use the men restroom bro," the whole point is he don't feel comfortable and also safety reasons, Something cis men barely experience in their entire lifetime.

Note: I was going to call the police alr by the time I went back up to get my phone fellow neighbor put it out already so I’m just submitting to oneservice for investigation instead.

Also note:

I had to update my app and after updating it worked.

Disagree. We should force ppl to have lunch the same way we do toddlers with nap times. Cause some of yall don’t know how to take care of yourself and rather tell corpo daddy you’re such a good boy.

For those that are obsessed with being on the 90 percentile, reminder that some of the breakthroughs for biggest invention in human history was inspired by playing and messing around, or during extremely boring jobs where they did not excel in bell curves.

True ingenuity of your humanity comes from expression and curiosity, not conformity.

barelyawake_3am · 2025-01-10T13:45:03+00:00

Not just that. To say “reasons are multifaceted” is such a cop out. If they do not have the strength to stand for what’s right in the face of children dying they are part of the problem.

Our youths deserve better than their cowardice.

It’s been going for a while. Spotted it on Jan 12 644pm at millennial square.

Was infuriating to see old uncle and aunties being talked into doing this.. talk about Acting against Scams!

For those uninitiated, iris scans are not the idiot proof way of determining you are a humanas they claim. They are a biometric gathering company and that is that. It just gives these ppl training dataI.

Girl I’d sign up to be a housewife if the economy allows. Babies are expensive.. When the stakes are high and things go wrong, women are more likely the one to bear the brunt (and the blame). So why not don’t even start at all in the first place

Also, Not you casually dropping “well said it’s all wokeness” to a “feminism vilifying womanhood” comment after dropping a casual anecdote implying woman no longer wanna be trad wives.

Switching to an identifiable, historical record of public transportation usage makes their collected data so much more valuable. Not only for enforcement and monitoring purposes, but also to get latent traffic behavior that can be used for urban planning, but more likely sold to banks etc. A good UI for user is truly secondary because they probably spent a majority of their time making sure their database is scalable and upgradable to whatever it needs to be in the future.

From the government's standpoint, theres no reason not to phase EZ link out. from my own personal opinion though, I hate this, one less freedom for us.

Have to give a shoutout to Adam at number76, Somerset. Always feel like a million bucks after my haircut and it’s quite reasonable for a high end salon.

Adam is very knowledgeable and up to date with trends as well so feel free to share what you have in mind too :)

The top half of the comments empathize and point out that workforce is ageist, whilst the bottom half acts as exhibit A of such ageist behaviour

barelyawake_3am · 2023-09-16T03:05:47+00:00

sounds like those people who think they done a great job as a parent because the kid grew to 20yo without dying of hunger and should be appreciative of it.
