An anonymous foreigner on social media reports that his employment was terminated unfairly and unreasonably after just 11 business days with a Singaporean company.He shared, “As a foreigner working remotely, I needed time to adapt to the company’s culture, practices, and Singaporean laws. While I understood Singapore’s fast-paced work culture, I didn’t anticipate being terminated so abruptly.”
He mentioned that his employer implied that his English proficiency did not meet their expectations because he wasn’t from Singapore, which she cited as grounds for termination. Another employee was terminated after only nine days, prompting him to question whether this was a coincidence or a deliberate effort to target foreigners.“It was a deeply unpleasant experience working with Singaporeans. In professional fields, many Singaporeans can be discriminatory and condescending towards others,” he concluded.
