Bye, bad boss! 60% of Singaporeans will pick good bosses over high pay, shows survey

70% are ready to quit over terror bosses.

Majority of SIngaporeans will pick a better boss over heftier paycheck, a survey by JobStreet revealed.

64% of respondents said that a better boss would make them happier at work, and only 36% of those surveyed said that a pay rise would offer them the same happiness.

The survey showed that 70% of respondents are ready to quit if they cannot get along with their bosses.

The top 3 resentments that respondents have towards their bosses were being taken for granted, unfair treatment due to favouritism and poor communication.

A staggering 84% of respondents are not connected to their bosses on social media. while women connected to their bosses online are more likely to adjust their privacy settings to block certain aspects of their online profile from their bosses compared to men.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
