How much are you earning per annum?

Hawker table cleaner

$9,600 per year with no bounus, no 13th Month & no sick leave

Step 1 - Bored at work so come into salary.sg and look at salary thread.

Step 2 - Read posts. If salary stated is lower than own salary, feel smug and find something else to do. If salary of posters is higher than own salary, take offence and go to step 3.

Step 3 - EITHER:

a. criticise the post which offended you and claim that the poster is lying. Depending on amount of free time, engage in flame war

OR

b. create own bullshit post with an outrageously high fantasy salary to piss other people off.

Step 4 - 'Rebel' by posting outrageously low salary to make political statement about the plight of the poor in Singapore.

Very accurate description, especially "Step 3b"!

"Step 3b" is a very weird psychological phenomenon.

Similar examples are someone telling you that your garden here in Singapore is smaller than their cousin's horse shed in Australia, when that someone himself is staying in an HDB flat, or someone perpetually concerned about the lack of Nobel Prize winners from our top schools, when that someone didn't even go to a top school.

Senior Analyst, 3 yrs exp. Peak period maybe 50 hrs / week off peak sometimes I just stay home to answer some email

Director (my company is full of directors, the title is good for someone who likes to show off in front of friends)

Yearly package (SGD 200,000, excluding bonus which is usually 2 months)

I am fine with the pay but heck care the title.

Call me anything you want, just give me my pay
