SINGAPORE: A worker’s friend took to social media to spill the tea about a Vietnamese restaurant boss in Singapore deducting S$100 from employees’ pay cheques for every little mistake they make.
In a post on r/askSingapore, the worker’s friend shared that the boss, a Vietnamese-Singaporean, opened ‘six restaurants’ across the city and employed mostly foreign workers. He added, “Most ‘locals’ are shadow workers.”
To make matters worse, the boss allegedly enforces severe financial penalties for even the smallest mistakes. “The boss will deduct 100 dollars per mistake, like not greeting customers on time and failing to pick up her call,” he said.Are we being targeted? — Foreigner reports unfair and unreasonable job termination after just 11 days in Singapore company
