Is it common practice in Singapore for firms to have a probation period for new joiners (duration at their discretion), during which new joiners can be fired at a week’s notice period?

Yes, I think ours was 6 months in EY.

Usually the clause also provides for the employee to resign at the same notice period (1 week in this case).

Think of it as a lemon law clause for both the employer and employee to make sure it’s a good fit.

I want to stay in consulting but open to any industry. My skills are can go to any industry. Can anyone provider a referral please? Thank You.

I’m in big law and went on flex time (paid less, expectations of billed time decreased) well before COVID, due to family obligations. Anyone else here in the same boat?

I’m wondering if others have raised their flex time status as a way to kindly decline work if it gets to be too much... with big law layoffs and furloughs abound, speaking up feels like a catch-22. I’m the breadwinner, grateful to be employed, and trying to stay sane.

Am I the only person who has been super disgusted to Fishbowl’s response to the Meta layoffs? I’ve been laid off twice in my career but I’m not mad at 11000 people who no longer have jobs just cause they got decent severance while I got a week on my way out. Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.

So apparently EY believes that moving to unlimited PTO will provide a first mover/differentiator advantage amongst the big 4..
