No, No!
A person needs to be financially freedom before he or she can comfortably leave the job without worry.
thanks for the candid opinions, really shed light from the industry from an insider's perspective.
you're welcome. look fwd to seeing your comment on 2nd new channel: youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?si=_hZBRMRz5NIEozR1
Shopee did the same retrenchment in the previous year as well to save their parent company.
No worries. Better things coming your way . All the best ❤

Alibaba has been going downhill ever since founder Jack Ma went into exile after his impassioned speech that angered the CPC leaders during the Bund Summit. Even Alipay has been hijacked by the CPC.
Good insights!
Hi Koala, Sorry to hear about that situation. It seems that the world (and big corporations, govts especially) have become so driven by money / profits that they neglect their workers / citizens. I've had to leave jobs in the past too. You have been blessed with a lot of talents. So, I'm sure that you could find a new position or new source of income in a better place. Safe travels and best wishes always.
thank you John. unfortunately many of us have experienced such in our life. but it's the up and down of life!
Thank you for sharing your views. Wishing you great success in the next chapter of your career.
thanks a lot Joanne! for now, i started my 2nd channel. look fwd to seeing your comment there! youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?si=_hZBRMRz5NIEozR1
I had been laid off 3 times, the last in my early 60s. After the first time, just learn to take it in stride and move forward.
now you're retired?
@@TheKrazyKoala Yes, decided to retire & travel. Luckily managed to do 2 trips before covid-19 lockdown 😁.
Ex-company talked alot about caring for people but that time the people they let go were mostly my age group. Some I heard were with the company for more than 10 years. Two account managers I work with were told to go immediately on mid afternoon Friday. They were outside at the time & refused to come in & surrender the laptops, passes etc till Monday. I was on 2 years contract that was ending in 2+ plus weeks. My business unit head came to break the news to me looking very upset as he just came from heated discussion with the GM to extend my contract. One of the account manager & me had just won a S$5+M deal 2 months prior. The only notification I received was a letter informing my contract will not be renewed & all bonuses will be be paid.
This sucks. U are strong. I believe in you.❤
hi bong bong. thank you! i just released new video on 2nd channel. look fwd to your comment!
Indeed God will continue to guide and bless you!

Thank u dear
Sorry to hear that. It’s unfortunately a trend nowadays and American companies layoffs are after thanksgiving, like a Christmas present. I was also one of the casualties of a big American company, but I believe when one door closes, another opens
I totally agree with you! Better opp is waiting!! thank you! i started my 2nd channel, look fwd to getting your support there too! youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?
Hi Koala,
I was layoff two times the first time I was very down. The second time I just take it as part of life and just look forward don't look back. I am working but no one know when you will be ask to leave. So just take life as its goes be happy.
Exactly!!!
Welp, time for full-time RUclipss. I know we'll enjoy all the extra videos.
ahh haha.... i did start a new channel. plz do Support and share my 2nd new channel: youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?si=_hZBRMRz5NIEozR1
It is not exclusively Chinese companies to be secretive on layoff. I worked in US and European companies, witness many "clean" house before and the employee didn't never know until the HR came for them. But I am not in tech industrial though.
But Us companies don’t tell u you can keep email log in and then broke promise and cut your login
You may have quit your job, but we, your loyal subscribers will NEVER quit following the Koala. We pray to God that you will turn-around and take-back this situation and make something even better.
awww so sweet of you!! look fwd to seeing you on my 2nd channel and my Patreon for more interactions!
This kind of matters will hit those big spenders or having great debts or paying installment for big house or cars ...god bless them
yes def.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Having worked for American companies for most of my working life, I agree with you on American MNCs being warmer/friendlier when it comes to birthdays etc. But ironically and surprisingly, I find the part about hiring and firing, massive frequent org changes with very last minute short notice communication (or lack thereof) also prevalent in large American companies too! It’s really not just a Chinese culture thing, sadly.
Btw, just curious to know if your leaving the job in Singapore will impact your SPR status in any way?
SPR is every 5 yrs renewal. depending on the timing. i guess every layoff is sudden :)
@@TheKrazyKoala Alright hope you are able to land something better soon within the validity of your SPR. All the best!
@@Hllee6428 thank u! And plz support subscribe and share my another channel! youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?si=QZcPGUcbPw_A51TO
You are right. I interacted with 1 large American retail bank and they were known for their hire-and-fire culture. In fact, most of the layoffs seen in news nowadays are from Western companies.
@@ly8370 Yeah indeed. I think layoffs are more the norm than exception nowadays but the thing about how American companies do so is there's hardly any writings on the wall whatsover. In fact they keep announcing seemingly positive news at every townhall that nobody ever sees an impendimg layoff coming. Till it actually happens! I have personally witnessed some collegues who were promoted (or at least being given some kinda recognition) just months before their layoffs at one of my former American employers...it can be as sudden as.that.....
is normal every company secretive about it. its the way it was announce, managing it and the package. alibaba did a very bad job. hp 2 decades ago did the same. govt step in to improve package, re-trainimg n emplacement
totally agree
Please take care, it's not easy times now.

oh wow Toma, i didn't know it unsubscribed automatically? no wonder i haven't seen you for a long time! you're still on my 2nd channel?
Just take it as a life lesson. I've had it worse having gone through multiple layoffs due to company liquidations *how lucky right* and my advise to everyone is to always have at least 2 backup plans. Silent layoffs also happens in America and Australia, not only limited to only Chinese companies.
Liquidation is even worse for company but same result for all employees either layoff or bankruptcy. You’re in US or AU?
@@TheKrazyKoalaTwice in Australia, then later on a German company based in USA. Now back in SG and thankful to find myself quite a secure niche role. I sincerely wish you all the best too and kudos for coming out to share the experience. Stay strong!

Good opportunity to work with the best. Enjoy every work exchange and encounter. Normally I put my best front cos you never know which impression can vast connect to where and when the next door opens.
Like the front cover picture still pretty when sulking ☺️ every defeat is a victory in itself
............thank you....
Minimum cost maximum profit. Smart companies do not want to go bankrupt. Cut loss when no longer profitable. Can't blame their wise move.
I don’t think layoff Is the issue. The issue is how company treat employee when they lay off during the process. That’s what distinguishes good and bad companies
Everything outside and beyond employment contract are bonus. When the balloon is sinking, someone at the top would just kick some ass OUT literally so that their own jobs are secured. Some bosses can try to put on the pretence of being nice and humane but others just do away with the niceties.
ya that's true. it's getting competitive! i started my 2nd channel, look fwd to your comment there too! youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?

Super dissappointed, but i guess this is the end for me with lazada after all of my contributions here.
They still choose me.
But business is business. Thanks for this video.
oh, i thought PH is doing quite well.... SG is the expensive one.... so sorry to hear that !!
Having been through 3 retrenchments. It is best to have your own interest, never the company's and/or your employer's interest. Another advice is to build your own financial moat, and do not depend on salary from working as an employee as soon as possible.
totally agree with you. can never rely on any company. we control our fate! btw, i started my 2nd channel. look fwd to getting your support there too! youtube.com/@thekrazykoalatravel?

Really and I thought that hiring and firing was an American Corporate culture thing... I have worked in the biggest US semiconductor equipment manufacturing and even other start up American smaller companies same thing happen when needed they just cut off the employees.... the smaller companies dont even give severance so no its not that u have a truly unique experience.

What has she contributed to Singapore society? She is enjoying the perks of a foreigner as a guest in a 6-star hotel.
So to be Sporean = highly educated & capable?
As guy who works in your competitor company(SEA biggest e-commerce company), I could feel your opinion very well.
We got the biggest layoff 2 years ago with the exactly same way as Lazada now. Very shocked and disappointed, speaking to atmosphere, it is almost same as Alibaba, many documents are written in Chinese and the leaders all speak Chinese. Such a toxic Chinese company!!!
i thought shopee is better. i guess it's the same sh*t....
@@TheKrazyKoala lol I still remember 2 years ago, the company just suddenly announced "do not go to office this week" and then arranged a meeting for the layoff, we don’t have any time to prepare for anything. And they are really smart to let us stay at home so only the layoff ppl will come to office, and talking about the money, only n+2, which is better then now😂I’ve a friend get layoff recently and receive only 1 month, that’s totally toxic.
Shopee still laid off your frd recently??
@@TheKrazyKoala yeah always, laying off and hiring, 😂learned from Alibaba, super Chinese style
❤❤❤
Thanks for supporting my new second channel. I think I saw ur msg there!!
You will do well whatever you decide to do as you have the skill and talent etc
Do they provide unemployment benefits like in the U S? Good luck in your future endeavors 😊
Hello. Angela!! All the benefits are mentioned in the video that I’m aware of
A lesson learned ..no jobs 100% stable unless is a government job
lol are you sure govt job is stable? US govt didn't pay salary for a long time
Talk abt sg pls
Think of a way to work for yourself through internet! I strongly believed you can do it! Be patient and faith in yourself!
yes i will!
Think i am going to layoff lazada app from my phone. Which i have been not using for a year anyway.
Haha you’re so cute
Yea, fucked-up company n leadership, I feel for those affected n those with family to feed, I got laid off on Xmas Eve, as Head of Ops, anyway, cry, chill, but please detox all bitterness n move on, better doors out there n I hope MOM does sthg..what a passive ministry.
I agreed with you that Singaporeans job is forever or iron rice bowl, I think ,this was our asian culture but it has since been eroded by toxic Americans culture of HC n Chinese culture too. It's important to stay relevant, have a backup. I moved on, happy with a new venture.
U take care n I wish you all e best for your future,n those affected too.

Companies don't lay off people for fun. They do it because they have to. companies that don't, end up going out of business. If you are working for someone you always have to know that you are an 'employee' and you may be asked to leave anytime if the situation arises. If you want to avoid that, start your own business. But yes soon you will find yourself on the opposite end of it. Many high level VPs and execs talk a big game on someone else's dime but aren't successful on their own in their business. I dare everyone here to grow your own team of 2, 4, 8. 10 and sustain it. Pretty soon you will understand all the challenges including why layoffs happen.
it can be, for some companies. but not for all. there are xenophobia cultures in some, where they just want to extract things out of you and take over by their own people
@@TheKrazyKoala I agree! and i think people should stay away from such companies to begin with. How did Alibaba , Shoppe, Lazada hired their team? They paid insane amount of salaries sometimes way out of the scale to Gobble them up from Smaller companies or even other MNCs. It's greed and money that has made everyone ignore all the signs and culture and join them for a higher pay. So all these people have benefited from that move for years before this layoff happened. And believe me more layoffs will come we go deeper in 2024. This is just the beginning.
Well there are some teams in a local bank predominantly prefer to hire their own race in the IT side.
I had been laid off 3 times, none of which was due to the company losing money or doing badly. First was sort of department structure change. 2nd was company being bought over. Last one, company was part of big GLC group & GM was cutting senior people (age wise 60s) to make figures look good so that GM will get promoted up to next level of the group. That letting go was done quietly. After covid-19, there was "voluntary separation" so that there's no publicity at all (retrenchment in all but name.
Retrenchment & being laid off are part & parcel of working life. As in my earlier reply to KKH, just learn to accept it & move forward. I think the reason why KK created this video was the harsh way the retrenchment was carried out. There are more gentle ways that will cause less anguish. My 1st & 3rd time, there was no inkling at all but my bosses spoke to me & explained why it happened, so I didn't feel very disheartened. For the 3rd lay off, my boss told me he fought to retain me. The company just gave me a letter.
For the 2nd time, it was an actual retrenchment & my boss informed me a month in advance & reasons why I was selected. On the official day of retrenchment, the GM was the one who spoke to me even though my boss & HR manager was there as well. I really appreciated the way that retrenchment was handled with dignity to the affected staff.

Singapore government trust employers to treat the staff responsibly, which is why most labour policies are pro-employer. But its a chinese company, singapore style doesn’t work with cowboy culture.. maybe SG government should think how to better labour laws to protect employees? More to come.. just watch.

1)Most of Singaporeans have a family to raise and hence job is a way to provide financial support to family.
2)Most of the Singaporeans do not have the exposure you had in the early part of your career in America firms.
3)Working culture in Singapore is not the same as American.
4)Bear in mind that not all tech companies treat employees like big tech firms that give 4 month severance plus extra. I worked in a tech firm for 18 months and was given only 3 weeks of severance and two weeks of healthcare coverage.

If you had quit like you said, there's nothing to "negotiate". You leave everything because it's your choice.

The only difference between American and Chinese companies is the birthday part on maybe having people celebrating it for you. Other than that the firing part is downright the same for both. They are merciless when it comes to that. If you think that American companies will do better and care about your welfare, sorry to say you are living in neverland. While Chinese companies do not pretend to care for you, I have to say at least the Americans bother to put up a show.
US firms don’t tell u you will keep ur emails but cut it without keeping promise. That’s unheard of

Sounds salty at being laid off than on a facts sharing session. The author should be glad to be given a job in a huge Chinese company in a senior capacity despite her inability to converse and understand Chinese, rather than bad mouthing it after having been laid off like the typical retrenched worker.
And she ought to correct that part with a sweeping statement about Chinese companies being secretive.
It should apply to American MNC too, if not more.
In the end they can hire and they can fire - which is according to the law in Singapore. Take em to court if you have a case, or to MOM or Ntuc.
If not, stop the badmouthing of your previous company that had given u a lucrative job & opportunity.
I don't see any palpable gratefulness nor appreciation here.
In Rome, do what the Romans do.
If u don't fit in the culture, adapt or leave. Badmouthing in public domains about your benevolent ex employer doesn't earn respect nor reflect well about a worker. You took up the offer with open eyes, but chose to stay on.
halo, thanks for your comments. author means me? i'm not sour about it, just sharing facts. I even haven't shared much of my personal opinions yet.
also, secretive is a neutral word and fact, it's not bad or good. i think you are very sensitive and interpret it the wrong way.
Layoff itself is not a big deal, but how a company deals with the layoff process by treating employees the right way is what really matters.
China and India companies - at your own risk… thanks but no thanks.
All the humane concepts of how employees should be treated are Western concepts. The working culture in Asia is just way too different. Even local Singaporeans would tell you they much rather work for an “ang mo” company.
By the way even in western companies in Asia the HR is usually ran by locals and all I can say is that dealing with local HR people is like pulling out your teeth with rusty pliers… it is sad but true. And if they move the HR department to India for the love of God just run for the hills!!!! Their standards are NOT appalling, they are JUST NONEXISTENT !!!
Run for the hills and/or find another “güaro”. You’ll thank me later.
haha you're an interesting person. what's your background and your story?
@@TheKrazyKoala hmmm not your average western guy… I also did the California stint but in Santa Monica-LA area due to Jim Morrison and The Doors. Asia started whispering to me and since I have no country to go back to I relocated to SG. I came looking for fame and fortune but found neither. I just found the harsh reality of life. I hate the corporate world and if my plans works I’ll be able to be on the road again but I will forever stay in Asia. To me Asia just soothe my broken soul and I do indeed loathe and abhor the living in a Western county so Asia is my slice of heaven. The Lion City is great and I’ve had so many good things, sad things, horrible things happen to me in all my years here. I am alone and communicate and cuddle at times with the street cats…. I want to explore other countries and have a new experience in South East Asia.
@@sebastianniqvist3144 whatever happened you, still great life learnings. god bless!
@@TheKrazyKoala can…
I’m discriminating no one just facts , never work for Chinese background company because despite There’s labor law protecting the work force, the Chinese companies often will find way to bail themselves out leaving massive problems behind . I speaking as a person whom have live and work on both China and HK for 22 years and 7 months , I experienced or know the dark side of their toxic culture and habits .
