A recent job listing on MyCareersFuture for a ‘Supply Chain Delivery Driver’ has raised eyebrows among netizens for its ironic promise of providing ‘work-life balance’ despite requiring a six-day work week.
The job ad, which appeared in the r/Singapore subreddit, listed a salary range between S$2,500 and S$3,000 and promoted a “consistent 6-day work week with Sundays off to recharge” as a perk — a benefit that many Redditors found contradictory.

“Am I out of touch, or are they out of touch?” questioned the Redditor who posted it on the subreddit thread.
Reddit users quickly shared their astonishment over the company’s tone.

One quipped sarcastically: “You work 12 hours from Monday to Saturday, remaining 12 hours you rest at home. Sunday I never call you for work. Where got no work-life balance?”

Some highlighted the offered remuneration, suggesting it seems low and outdated, given current times.

Some think that the job listing is “crazy”.
The ad also described the location, Ubi, as “convenient” — though some commenters pointed out that Ubi’s distance from central Singapore and its industrial atmosphere made it less than ideal.
Adding to the irony, the ‘Career Stability’ section, typically reserved for promotion potential, instead touted the chance to drive “well-maintained 10ft & 12ft lorries”, which the listing assured would “ensure safety” for employees.

Many netizens joked that the company is “not wrong” — if the vehicles aren’t safe, they’d have no career at all due to potential injuries.
