100000% accurate.

Companies: Why can't we find anyone to hire?

Their hiring process:

I have the same problem between Photoshop and PowerPoint.

I keep having to relearn my keyboard shortcuts every time I switch between Mac and PC. It's like my muscle memory gets super cross-wired. Maybe I should just switch Windows to Mac or vice versa. Hmmmm.

Amazing. At a coffee shop and the local group sharing the table is casually discussing the Ukraine war: “Putin has been too merciful. He should just slaughter everyone.” “He used to be more decisive & ruthless, don’t know why.”

[oldlee @theoldlee]

And this is the type of toxic mentality that shames people who literally need a break - and blames them for not being at their “full potential”.

Watching A Time to Kill, and damn. While I’m glad KS took a financial hit and his earning capacity linked to his celebrity curbed, I’m reminded that he was also a gawddamn good actor.

@NeilHumphreys The 1.4M was definitely a outlier and the owners were definitely severely penalised because they were 1 year into a 5 year period. But the fact the agent dared to ask for 1.4M and someone was willing to pay it is definitely insane.

[oldlee @theoldlee]

@NeilHumphreys You're definitely right. But these are also the outliers and there are definitely more affordable options, especially direct from HDB. But I just finished some research for a client and saw that the market greatly stabilised after the insane 2008 spike & crash.

It's as if not giving that increment that your employee didn't know they could ask for would cost you less than hiring someone new, spending on recruiting, onboarding, productivity loss and actually wage difference.
Hey Singapore employers, are you listening?

[Adam Karpiak @Adam_Karpiak]

Microsoft doubled its employee salary budget to address inflation and keep talent from leaving.

It’s almost as if it’s more productive (and cheaper) to keep your current employees happy than to replace them when they leave.

I generally am quite alright with the heat - I tolerate it, and sometimes I love the warm sun.

But I don't know if I'm reaching early menopause or climate change is an absolute bitch, or it's just ridiculous recently, but I am dripping in sweat at the hawker centre right now.

Why do the Chinese in Singapore call the carrot 萝卜 or 红萝卜 when it was known as 胡萝卜 in ancient times?

[oldlee @theoldlee]

Don't give him any ideas.

Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t Twitter is an app that has to comply with Apple and Google app rules on “safety” and “objectionable content”?

[oldlee @theoldlee]

Or the ones where they speed up when someone is approaching the zebra crossing so they don't need to stop.

[mrbrown @mrbrown]

Dickweed drivers who don’t stop at zebra crossing even when the pedestrian is already crossing. Just because they think the pedestrian hasn’t reached their part of the road yet. Chow turtle.

Why can’t Elon do something good with his money, like buy Taleo and immediately shut it down.

@cuppaccinoo @642642 @MothershipSG Did they remove it? I don't see a nationality, but I'm quite blind to start with

They are "saving electricity"

Seriously, why don’t Singaporean cars signal? Why would you be wilfully selfish/reckless/dangerous?
