Staff shortage? Grow your own












Desperate times call for desperate measures. With Singapore's tight labour market, declining birth rate, and unseemly scramble for graduate talent, my three and a half year-old daughter, Saffron, was head-hunted for the day.
She was sequestered for most of the day with the design team, and judging from the mess she managed to make, she's a chip off her old man's block.
The experiment was deemed a success by my colleagues, and by the little lady herself, so if you know of any other ambitious three-year olds with a can-do attitude, please get them to submit their CVs - because Alphabet Media is hiring!
