Stories of bad working experiences in Singapore

I feel sorry for the people who had to go through those experiences. Seems like most of the issues come from management.

But this one is really just so weird.

-German big boss made a personal phone call to me within a month of starting work and Drilles me at length on the process of brewing beer. Expressed severe disappointment when I could not fully answer his advanced questions (seriously, how am I expected to know the intricacies of brew brewing when I’m in environmental engineering, I don’t even like beer. Oh and he basically expressed even more severe disapproval and my dislike of beer)

I know the beer culture in some parts of Germany is quite serious but why is it such a big deal for an overseas employee to be equally invested in beer as he is...?

I found that story odd too. Strange behaviour from the boss but luckily the guy who wrote the story didn't get fired or anything because of it.
