For example, he would ask me to return to the office on weekend nights to rearrange the office layout. Not only that, he wasn't there. I was just given the layout and had to move everything myself.
And since I wasn't a full-time staff, he wasn't obliged to grant me any offs for my work on the weekends.
The then-colleagues felt really sorry for me but they couldn't do much also since many of them were foreign and didn't want to risk losing their employment status.
Last I heard, that office has closed down during covid.
Sucks to go through that, but thanks for sharing the story. The point about you colleagues not being able to do anything out of fear of losing their employment pass is probably a huge unopened can of worms here in Singapore too...
