Tough Employee Life…
For many ex-employees at Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), their current career future looks gloomy and bleak…
Because SPH (parent company of Straits Times) recently fired 230 employees in efforts to cut costs and preserve company profits:
Some of these employees were in the company for almost 20 years before being laid off without notice.
It is frustrating when you dedicate your precious youth and hard work to a career…
…only to be betrayed by it with no rewards in return.
Unfortunately, retrenchment rate is climbing in Singapore:

Retrenchment Rate At Highest In 7 Years
In 2016, the retrenchment rate in Singapore is the highest in the last 7 years. It was the highest since the Global Financial Crisis in 2009.
Interestingly, most of those retrenched had tertiaryqualifications. The old advice of “studying hard, going to university and then getting a well-paying job” is unfortunately no longer true.
So what are the 3 top reasons for increasing job insecurity in Singapore?
Is Your Computer Stealing Your Job?
A report by the World Economic Forum predicted that 5 million jobs will be lost by 2020 due to AI, robotics and nanotechnology.

And the Straits Times reported a study about how machines or software may eventually replace a third of graduate-level jobs worldwide.
The study notes that these machines do not “become ill, have children or go on strike, and are not entitled to annual leave”.
And even concluded that, “a production robot is cheaper than even a worker in China”.
Even a research done by Oxford University estimates that robots would be able to perform surgeries and replace doctors in hospitals by 2053.
The labour market is becoming increasingly competitive and cut-throat. From cheap labour in China to medical surgeons, no one is safe.
Are You IndirectlyCompeting With Your Superior?
In a rigid corporate ladder, most of the employees are at the bottom of the ladder. And we all secretly think that we have what it takes to promote and climb the ladder.
But we forgot that besides competing with our peers, we are also actually competing with our superiors for the positions higher up the ladder.
Higher up the ladder, there are less opportunities and positions… and is thus more competitive and cut-throat.
When your promotion depends on the evaluation of your superior, do you think he would think in his best interest or yours?
When Shit Hits The Fan, Everyone Takes Care Of Themselves First
SPH’s retrenchment exercise to cut an estimated 10% of their work force was led by their new CEO, Ng Yat Chung, to cut cost in order to boost the company’s profits.
It is a widely known fact that news companies are slowly losing popularity (and profits) due to the digital disruption of the industry… by an explosion of free media websites and social media outlets.

Struggling to keep up with technological advancements despite having years to prepare, the corporate media giant resorted to retrenchment to preserve company profits.
The employees were forced to pay the price for their top management’s incompetence.
In the end, the company is expected to generate more than $1 billion in revenue in 2017, with at least $350.1 million net profit.
One of the worst feeling in the world is to NOT get acknowledged for your years of hard work and service…
…and get kicked to the curb when you are no longer needed.
With The Rapid Advancement Of Technology, More Jobs And Industries Would Be Endangered
As we saw earlier, even hospital surgeons are not safe, according to Oxford University.
And it would be foolish to assume that our government or companies would “protect” us.
