AI summary of recent reviews

Employees at Merlion School value the multicultural environment and international vibes, as well as the good relationships they have with colleagues at the same level. English proficiency is seen as highly important for both local and foreign staff.

However, some potential areas for improvement include the facilities, with concerns over power-saving measures impacting working conditions. There also appears to be a lack of clear communication, both between management and staff, as well as between local and foreign employees. Additionally, reviewers have highlighted issues with management, such as a lack of clear leadership, changing regulations, and a perceived lack of transparency.

passive leaders, always right

The good thingsThe pay isn't bad it's still small for a lot of work many expats

The challenges-Poor facilities - always saving power but not increasing staff salaries -expat are arrogant towards the local population, I want to talk to they don't. -The head cannot lead, just wait until the problem comes and just correct it, there is no leadership - many long term expat teachers left already -admin don't hear anything. make leaders solve the problem but leader was passive, speak slow but not kind, just like being leader not making leadership
