Distributing flyers is easily one of the most thankless jobs in Singapore.

The pay is not fantastic (probably S$6 an hour), you get exposed to the elements outdoors and you have to rely on the goodwill of strangers to help you get rid of whatever you're distributing piece by piece.

If that wasn't enough, check out the terms and conditions of accepting a flyer distribution gig in Singapore:

Here it is, with all its typos, so you can read it easier:

It is not known from which flyer distribution company this terms and conditions originate from or if it is even legitimate as they appear very broad.

However, some of the laughable terms include stipulating being 15 minutes early for work (term no. 2), to be aggressive and pro-active during distribution (term no. 5) and not to give out contact details to any other person who asks for it during flyer distribution (term. no. 9).

Some of the more extreme terms include threatening to withhold payment if the flyer distributor was deemed to have displayed poor performance (term no. 6) and having police reports made against the person in the event of any disputes or deemed to have cheated (terms no. 10 and 13).

From the looks of it, the flyer distributing company is trying to hire automatons instead of people.

But on the bright side, say goodbye to this form of employment soon, as flyers are so 20th century.
