Originally posted by the_don:i can't believe they work for longer hours than the japanese.
guess wat the koala lovers 'work harder than the super-efficient Germans, the Americans and even the Japanese who are known for the phenomenon of karoshi or 'death by overwork' '
'Australian employees work an average of 1,855 hours a year, compared with the developed country average of 1,643.' let's see that works out to be.. 35.673076 hours per week. and how many hours normal singaporeans clock per week? MINIMUM of 40 hours per week. oh boy! i rather be 'overworked' in the land of kangas than 'underworked' in sunny singapore

Aussie overwork(like real) and racial prejudice (some only)...Originally posted by Poopie-Head:that's why they hate us.
Not only coz of color diff but also we work longer hours, spoil market![]()
I tell u I love to work there, so damn relaxed pace. Too bad they got alot of racial prejudice if not I'll like to stay there![]()
Originally posted by Gedanken:errrm, maybe loh.. It's true that I wasn't working in the biggest cities. I've heard the racist thing is very dependant on which city/town, and it was not too bad where I was, but not totally free from it either. I'm guessing they don't like chinese esp SG chinese.
Poopie-head, you really must have been staying in a seriously ulu place if all the shops closed early and they hated you. I go to satisfy the midnight munchies all the time and the only discrimination I've evnountered in 9 years was an attitude from Greek girl at the immigration department.![]()
