Burnt-out Singaporeans Encouraged To Try Suffering In A Different Office Building

Singaporeans currently experiencing soul-crushing burnout are being urged by experts to consider the revolutionary option of being miserable at a different desk for an extra three hundred dollars.

The latest advice suggests that instead of complaining about the forty-eight-hour work week, you should simply "realign your values" until you no longer perceive the light leaving your eyes.

If your current boss makes you want to jump off your HDB balcony, career consultants suggest a "pivot" into a role where a slightly more polite boss makes you want to jump off a different balcony.

The Straits Times reminds Sinkies that true job satisfaction comes from breaking your nervous breakdown into manageable layers, like a vertical mille-feuille of despair.

Why quit when you can simply perform a "lateral internal transfer" and spend three months learning that the pantry in Finance also only has expired Nescafe?

Ultimately, if your self-worth isn't tied to your productivity, are you even a real Singaporean or just a liability to the national GDP?

Remember, a sabbatical is just a fancy word for "unemployment without the dignity," so get back to your cubicle before the AI replaces your depression with efficiency.

This satire is based on a real news story.
