Retaining architects has become harder in recent years, with a tight labour market and younger employees leaving for better salaries and opportunities, firms said.

An “unhealthy work culture” across the industry where clients, both private and public, expect architects and consultants to be on call almost 24 hours a day drives employees away, said the founding partner of MKPL Architects Kok Siew Man.

In the organisations I work/worked for, there’s typically a special bonus component that gets added to your salary if you get assigned to Singapore. It’s a good amount of change, but even with such incentives I’ve seen people complain.

Everyone cant find engineers in Singapore aboriginals also.

As a very good engineer myself (others commented about me), Singapore work culture is extremely toxic. Managers self select the most wicked and lazy people to promote to their ranks and higher.

Only evil guys get rewarded.

Talking about engineering culture, I rank Singapore 2nd bottom just ahead of India.

Even PRC work culture is way better.

Singapore elites are flooding Singapore with cheap Indians and glorifying them as top talent. Singapore will be sht hole.
