In Singapore, most of them are actually proud. I've been to their office a bunch of times and in fact, people treat it as something super prestigious, especially considering the office space is really nice with a beautiful view of the Marina. Sometimes, their employees will sound extremely arrogant and even look down upon you if you don't work for another equivalent giant (like Google Singapore).
I guess different parts of the world have different moral standards. It is the way it is.
- bathtub365 6y agoSingapore itself employs a surveillance apparatus against its citizens so I'd expect the cultural norms there may be affected by that.
- maurys 6y agoCulturally, yes, prestige and a known company is probably more helpful in Asian countries. Another perspective is that I take the money, help support my extended family and community and feel like a net positive contributer. Concerns with how social media is affecting relationships and corporate bullying are less real to me personally than the people I meet day to day who I can support. Again, not arguing about which perspective is right, but yeah there are other ways to look at one's situation.
