I was just speaking to a friend s friend the other day and it sounded rather ominous. The cluster head had just mandated that everyone who failed to hit a minimum insurance target be required to stay back in the office everyday for night calls from 6-9pm daily, regardless if you ve a family. Also those who fail to meet the insurance target by end month have to pay a fine of $100.

Is this common practice in retail banks? I thought there s some kind of code of conduct, etc governing banks? I thought it sounded like product pushing. Can bosses just fine employees like that in singapore?
Welcome to the world of banking sales, you do have the choice of not joining. What's your current job?
