RE: Embracing the Future: The Dual Nature of AI Advancements

in Weekend Experienceslast year

Yeah it's been quite a struggle actually.

To automate processes, I need to first understand them by interviewing these people. While doing so, you can already sense the fear in them and their reservations in sharing the details because they too know that I am there to make changes that will ultimately to "take away" their jobs 😣

Sort:  

o.o no choice. company is to be efficient and make money leh $$$. If they want to stay they need to have the value ?

Yeah exactly but it is not as easy as it sounds.
Creating value when some of the employees are already nearing retirement age is not easy.
It is up to the company to see the value they bring in terms of work experiences.

oh if near retirement age usually cut off alr liao too expensive. most i see do grab driver after they get retired or laid off cuz near the retire age

Well depends on the company you work for ba.
As long as there is no grounds for the company to fire you, they should be "protected" near retirement age. Else no one will ever be getting the pension funding.

oh ya. singapore labor law strict sia?

Yeah there has to be valid ground for laying off employee especially at that sensitive age.

o.o because they are expensive usually tahts enough ground shaha. that one senior can probably hire like 5 fresh grad wei

But that is within their rights with that years of work experiences which the fresh grad could not provide. And its according to their contract so technically they did nothing wrong to be sack so yea it is against the law as it constitute as a groundless firing.
