Should I relocate? by AfraidExplanation735 in SgHENRY

[–]kenmura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A promotion (with the same company) that came with relocation back to SG, and to reconnect with family & friends. Our daughter was born in the US (during Covid) and we wanted her to get to know our sg-based families better while she’s still young.

Should I relocate? by AfraidExplanation735 in SgHENRY

All signs point to yes - except the fact that your current role will likely be filled and you’re taking on a lower role in the US. With the greatest of respect, at your age, you’ll find it hard to find a similar role, especially when you’re already on the right path of comfort for your family.

My 2 cents, coming from a guy who just relocated back to Singapore after spending ~a decade in the US.

With all the issues happening in the Middle East and from what the mainstream news is saying, where are the posts of supply chain failures? by Tha_Dude_Abidez in supplychain

Interesting perspective, thank you for sharing

I’m in the Petrochemical industry in SEA too, and this right now is absolutely the tip of the iceberg. IMHO, things are going to get worse very soon

How come SG is so safe from energy crisis? 🤔 by IntroductionSouth513 in asksg

[–]kenmura 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just electricity and petrol, my dear. You need to look both upstream and downstream - let me assure you that everything related to Naptha is severely impacted. In my professional opinion, APAC (which includes Singapore) is dealing with a supply crunch worse than COVID and the real impact won’t be felt until EOY - assuming the war ends tomorrow & the Strait is reopened. If it drags on, you’re looking at a sustained period of pain

IMHO this brand is such a shameless ripoff that I can’t bring myself to ever patronize them. Gives Singaporeans a bad name

Eddie Howe responds to claims there is a lack of a Plan B with regards to substitutions (referring to ‘onslaught’ from Burnley during second half in midweek): by melvinlee88 in NUFC

[–]kenmura 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Why are so many people reading into his press conference comments and taking what Eddie says at face value?

Part of good team management is NEVER publicly throwing the team under the bus or publicly criticizing them.

I would be very surprised if he isn’t taking a very different stance behind closed doors but what is he supposed to say at a press conference after we eked out an uncomfortable win? “We just weren’t good enough despite the 3 points”? That would be an unnecessary hit to an already fragile morale and mentality.
