Your job title doesn’t define your identity, it’s the kind of person you are that defines your identity

 

defining-ourselves-by-what-we-do-and-the-problem-with-conscious-bias

We are so often defined and labelled by what we do. In fact, many of us who have lost our jobs no longer feel validated, as for the longest time, we have identified ourselves with what we do, not who we are.

Many of us have conscious bias. Do you notice how often one meets someone new and after asking their names, the next step is often to ascertain what is it they do for a living, and then pigeonhole them accordingly in your mind based on their profession? Very often it is also based on one’s ethnic background.

Letter to the Editor: Next PM should cut all ministers’ salaries by half to gain public trust that ministers really want to serve the public

 

Dear Editor,

I refer to the article: Man says if he were the PM of S’pore, he would donate 90% of his salary, cut Ministers’ pay in half and reduce GST to 5%
