Correction, pay peanuts but expect top tier quality, where quality is according to subjective definition. You can produce quality work, but some bosses are so ****, they will think your quality work is ****, because it doesn't suit their agenda.

That's how much worse it has got.

Yes, so agree

Good exposure to the big bosses but skillset not that transferable...its more like a co-ordination role.

But where would MAS find their replacement? Hire from outside?
Isn’t it a form of retrenchment?

Director got 20k or not? See their lifestyle like quite high maintenance.
