ALLEGED DIRTY HIRING PRACTICES, SALARY DECREASE $800 AFTER HIRING

A post was shared on NUS Whisper of a person who was interviewed for a government job but ended up almost undercut by S$800.

Here is the story:

I have a job-hunting experience to share: After an interview for a government job that requires replacement ASAP, I sensed they like to employ me so when they ask what salary do I expect, I said 4.5k (which in fact most peers I know is <$4k for fresh grad).

The job has shifts so I only need to work 3-4 days per week, 9-5, but should remain contactable on other days when I at home. Next day HR calls me saying I am hired but they like to discuss on the salary. They asked what other offers I got, I said I have one with 3.7kThen later the day they called me saying they offer me 3.8kAt this point, I took a bet, telling them initially we mentioned 4.5k, now your 3.8k offer I can’t accept it, so my terms is: either you pay me 4.3k minimum or we say goodbye.

Guess what, next day HR called me saying they are willing to pay me 4.3kMy learning point is: HR don’t pay you based on your worth or job scope, its a supply and demand problem. We’re negotiating in business and just want to cut a deal

SHOP CHARGES OLD MAN S$118 “SET UP PHONE FEE” AT PEOPLE’S PARK COMPLEX

A story appeared online of an elderly man in his 60s charged over a hundred dollars to “set up” the elderly man’s new phone at a handphone shop in People’s Park Complex.

The story was later reported by Shin Min Daily News, which revealed that the grandson of the man said that his grandfather had to pay an additional S$118 just to set up a Google Play account. (Google account to install applications).

The shop explained that they have services helping customers to install applications and charge between S$20 to S$30 to install an app. For a young person would find it ridiculous as it is just a few taps on the phone to get an app installed.

It is believed that many elderly have trouble with smartphones and often seek handphone shops to perform the services, the shop claimed that they would often advise their customers to seek help from their children instead of looking to the shop to perform the easy task.

The elderly man has since been refunded and the shop claims that it is only a misunderstanding. But many netizens doubt so.

One can only imagine how many other elderly people fall victim to such “service fees”. But again there might be many elderly who do not have young people at home or children to help them with.
