The former cabin crew also cited exhaustion as to why he left the company, adding that flying also caused him to live an irregular lifestyle, especially mealtimes. He also said he tends to overspend when travelling. In another video, Dion listed five more reasons why he left, which are more personal, like toxic work culture. Another personal reason for leaving his Singapore Airlines job is due to slow career progression because there are only four ranks to achieve so it can get competitive.

Dion added that he finds his work repetitive and there is no much “meaning” to the job so he has lost a sense of job satisfaction. Lastly, Dion said he doesn’t think working as a cabin crew and flying frequently is sustainable. However, he also mentioned the pros of working with Singapore Airlines, saying you can experience a dynamic work environment and get the best training in the industry.

Many netizens shared their reactions to the videos, mostly saying the reasons were valid. Some former cabin crew members also shared the same experience, saying that the same reasons are why they left their jobs. Many also sent well wishes for Dion, hoping he’ll find success in his future endeavours. According to his video, Dion is currently pursuing a communications degree while running a small business with his sister.
