SINGAPORE — Youths may be keen to change jobs over the short-term perhaps to get faster pay rises but job-hopping could be a double-edged sword for them, warned panellists at a TODAY webinar on Tuesday (Nov 15).

Prospective employers may be concerned, for example, that the person lacked loyalty if he or she jumped from job to job too frequently, they said.

Members of the audience on-site were invited to submit their questions through the Slido website, while online viewers could ask questions directly in the comments section of the livestream on Instagram and TikTok.Moderator Elizabeth Neo asked panellists about the results of the TODAY Youth Survey, which showed that 39 per cent of youth respondents see themselves staying in their current jobs for between one and three years. She asked if that raised any “red flags”.

This is more lucrative than waiting for an annual 2 to 3 per cent salary increment at their current companies, he added. She also said that remote work as the default working arrangement may also affect team communication and morale, and company bonding and culture. While the panellists agreed that prioritising mental health, work-life balance and time for rest are important, some said that there are repercussions to quiet quitting, such as lack of job and salary promotions.

Ms Lee added that youths should ask themselves if by quiet quitting they are"okay without the promotion" or the year-end bonus.
