Not Singapore specifically but in today's AI/tech world if you're not constantly working you're on the firing line.
I'm in the Bay Area. It's Sunday morning and I'm working becasue I still need to pay for food, rent, and enormous medical bills and don't want to get fired, and I got yelled at by my director this morning on Slack because I'm not delivering fast enough despite squashing 12 months' worth of work into 4.
I don't have time for books. Finding time for even exercise is hard.
- Insanity 6d agoThis sounds like mostly a USA problem and not something that extrapolates well to other countries. I had a suspicion it’d come from a US point of view lol. EDIT: while more common in the US, if you are actually regularly working weekends, look for a better job. In my part of FAANG I rarely have to work weekends, although the occasional crunch time can happen.
- qurren 6d agoI've worked in Singapore before. It's not a chill work culture there either. In fact it's about the same.
