A recent job ad for a delivery driver position has caught the attention of netizens due to its ironic promise of “work-life balance” despite requiring a six-day workweek.

A Facebook user shared a screenshot on a meme page highlighting the contradiction, as the company touted a “consistent 6-day work week with Sundays off to recharge” as a perk.

Applicants can earn up to RM9K

The salary range listed was between S$2.5K (about RM8,279) and S$3K (about RM9,935), but many found the claim of work-life balance puzzling given the demanding schedule.

The job ad was posted on a Singapore job portal on October 28 and will be up until November 11. As of October 4, it has only received 2 applications so far.

While the company is promoting a “work-life balance” benefit, it also comes with a range of other perks, including the following:

  • Competitive Salary: Earn up to S$3K per month, providing a stable and reliable income.
  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a consistent 6-day work week with Sundays off to recharge.
  • Convenient Location: Work out of UBI, a central and accessible area that makes commuting easy.
  • Career Stability: Drive well-maintained 10FT and 12FT lorries, ensuring your safety on the job.
  • Growth Opportunities: Be part of a supportive team where your contributions are valued and rewarded.

“The job ad was intentionally worded to seem unappealing”

Many people online thought the job ad was a joke, but one user stepped in to explain why some companies might post jobs in a way that turns off local applicants.

The user explained that the job posting allegedly appears to be deliberately worded to make it as unappealing as possible to Singaporean job seekers.

“This approach lets the company hold out for local job seekers, but they can also bring in a Malaysian or other foreign worker who might be more than happy to earn up to S$ 3K just to drive a lorry for a 6-day work week. For many, that’s still a much better deal compared to what they could make back home.”

While others felt differently, prompting them to flood the comment section with their thoughts and reactions.

With a “work-life balance” like that, applicants will be working harder than a juggler trying to balance 6 days a week.
