MAN IN CORPORATE JOB DREAMS OF DOING MENIAL WORK INSTEAD; WANTS TO WORK IN ‘AUTONOMOUS & STRESS-FREE ENVIRONMENT’
SINGAPORE: A 24-year-old male Reddit user who works in the corporate world by day and as a food delivery rider after hours wrote that he “dreams of transitioning to menial jobs” after his contract ends in three months.
u/Due_Assistance5380 wrote on r/AskSingapore that he currently has an entry-level marketing role where the “working environment is great” but he’s come to the “realisation that I value working in an autonomous and stress-free environment. This evolution came from the fact that I’ve been working as a food delivery rider after office hours and weekends. Never did I expect myself to look forward to work during the evenings and on weekends as a food delivery rider, I mainly enjoy the role simply because of how ‘free; I feel, I do not have to attend meetings nor do I have deadlines to meet. I feel so happy and at ease every time I helmed my alternate work identity.”
MAID REPLIES, “YES MAAM YES MAAM”, TO INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY EMPLOYER BUT DOES THE OPPOSITE, GETS EVEN SIMPLE TASKS WRONG
SINGAPORE: An employer of a Filipino maid took to social media saying that her helper had a good attitude but could not follow instructions. This happened so frequently that the employer wondered if her maid had hearing problems.
In an anonymous post to a support group for domestic helpers and employers alike, the woman said her maid “has a good attitude, receptive to feedback and has a joyful and positive persona. The only issue (or thing that she doesn’t seem receptive to but at the same time I don’t think it’s deliberate) I have with her is that she always doesn’t listen to my instructions properly and end up doing her tasks wrongly. It is quite a significant problem as simple tasks can’t even be done right on a daily basis”.
