The thing is that engineers here get sucky pay, bad working environment, long hours, no prestige, not much prospects as they would in another countryOriginally posted by sbst275:I've been told is that SP and NYP in particular are having prob filling up engineering vacancy
Actually I worry for the IR, not enough engineer how are they doing to get ppl to do maintenance and sort... Maybe these jobs may end up into foreigners hands
I like engineering guys, in general.Originally posted by elindra:We are short of engineers in SG
But the problem is they don't get the prestige associated with their profession like they do overseas
In the end alot of engineers either convert to business or they run overseas ><

hanor...Originally posted by elindra:The thing is that engineers here get sucky pay, bad working environment, long hours, no prestige, not much prospects as they would in another country
So in the end no one wants to be one liao
You know there is like so fine a line between an engineer and a technician it's not funny lor.
It's crazy... cause over here, Engineers get decent remuneration and they definitely get the respect they deserve!Originally posted by elindra:The thing is that engineers here get sucky pay, bad working environment, long hours, no prestige, not much prospects as they would in another country

You want Choco to kill you arOriginally posted by sbst275:hanor...

Eh... you too young, leh! I prefer older men!Originally posted by Fatum:*bats eyes at Rhonda .....

I think for those technical stuff, someone engineering trained yes
Even our aerospace industry lack of engineers ma
And SIA pay is among the lowest

It's really crazy when Specialists do not get the pay they deserve. It happens a lot in Singapore, sadly. Some professions just aren't remunerated well, even though they sorely deserve it!Originally posted by elindra:You want Choco to kill you ar

And they are still looking for ways to lower the engineer pay somemore
Whereas the management get fat paychecks
Yeah SIA is one of the worst paymasters for Aircraft EngineersOriginally posted by Fatum:zhun bo ? .....
oh dearOriginally posted by elindra:Yeah SIA is one of the worst paymasters for Aircraft Engineers
It used to be good but they cut out alot of things lor
The engineer union is not as strong as the pilots so they had to get alot of paycuts
They are still looking to cut the engineers pay further (BTW SO already had like a $1k pay cut ok)
And best part is they cut the engineers' pay and increase management salary
And our government wonder why the professionals are all migratingOriginally posted by Rhonda:It's really crazy when Specialists do not get the pay they deserve. It happens a lot in Singapore, sadly. Some professions just aren't remunerated well, even though they sorely deserve it!
That's the worldwide trend today. Management keeps raising their own salaries and bonuses while trying their best to screw the other ranks. Heck, cutting manpower cost is one of their KPIs. The more workers they screw, the more bonuses they get.Originally posted by elindra:Even our aerospace industry lack of engineers ma
