Venting my frustration and sharing my work ordeal in the IT industry as a Singaporean under Indian management.
For a while now, I’ve been grappling with significant mental stress at my workplace, and I feel compelled to shed light on an issue that’s been affecting not just me but many other Singaporeans in similar positions. Working in an industry that demands constant innovation and collaboration, it’s disheartening to witness biased promotion practices.
The hierarchy in my workplace seems to prioritize individuals from India, with promotions and major projects consistently going their way. It’s demoralizing to see talent and hard work overlooked simply based on nationality.
As a Singaporean, I take pride in serving our nation and contributing to its safety through national service. It’s disconcerting to feel that this dedication is not reciprocated in the professional realm. The silent battle many Singaporeans face in the workforce against individuals from other nations is a harsh reality that needs urgent attention.
Promotions and project opportunities should be based on merit, dedication, and skill, not nationality. It’s disheartening to witness the blatant favoritism that creates a toxic work environment, hindering the growth and morale of many deserving individuals.
It’s high time we address these issues and foster a workplace culture that values diversity and equal opportunities. Let’s not forget that a harmonious and inclusive work environment benefits everyone.
Here are what netizens think:
- My boss Changed to CECA, promoted his own kind. I wan to complain to HR also cannot as the HR director also changed to CECA
- Well to be fair, other race also do the same sometimes. Yellow company favors yellow people, brown favors brown, tan favors tan, and white favors white.
- Just name the company out loud so that they don’t get away with it!. With their toxic working style.
- I feel you. Many of us are on the same boat. Your rant speaks our mind. Hard to swallow the facts that their half past six ability still given the priority. Sad to say that even Singaporean not helping own kind.
