Thats a really valid point. I have also noticed how petty and childish the locals are here. Really baffling behavior sometimes. Like children in adults bodies.
Guess thats why we're all here.
I second this. I don't mean to generalize but in my 4 years here it seems some of the locals really take employment for granted. They just think that their economy here is always going to be super great and there's always a job for them so some of them just come across as unconcerned about how well they perform or how long they stay somewhere.
I am the exact opposite of this. I feel like I've always got to prove myself. I am mad that I can only have 1 job, back home I had a great paying main corporate job (until the big downsizing) & I usually balanced that with weekends waiting tables or working in retail, something for extra cash. I can't do that here, I can only work for the company that issued the work pass. Singapore is actually sorta hurting me & my born & raised Singaporean wife in this regard by not approving my PR so I can go do the work that many here take for granted.
