I once read a case online where a doctor refused to issue an MC because the patient “seems fine & can still use handphone". Even though the person had bad flu, persistent coughing, & couldn’t focus well at work, she were told to carry on. Honestly, I understand the need to prevent MC misuse, BUT rest is essential for recovery and for reducing the risk of spreading illness to others in the office. A bit more empathy & trust can go a long way in supporting healthier workplaces. Don't you agree?

inSingapore Salary Gap

I used to be happy with my salary… now I’m not anymore. 😞 When I first joined 5 years ago, the pay felt good. I was proud of it. But year after year, the increments ranging from 3%-5%, once even 7%, just don’t feel like they match the work I put in or the rising cost of living. Despite my salary goes up every year, I am NOT HAPPY and I wonder, am I being ungrateful or everyone else also feels the same? Will we never feel satisfied with our pay? How much salary would actually make us happy?

Hey! I need your opinion. I’ve been working at my current job for 7 years, handling many tasks but with no extra pay. Now I’m only doing TikTok content & replying to inquiries. Some coworkers plan to resign soon. I’m thinking of trying to work in Singapore to gain new experience, but I’m afraid I won’t find the same good environment. Should I take the risk or stay where it’s stable?😩

inInterview Tips

Failed too many interviews? Here's 3 tips that help me nailed the "tell me about yourself" question: 1️⃣I kick things off with a quick summary of my work journey. Only the parts that make sense for the role. 2️⃣Then I casually sneak in a personal interest (I use strategy games) to flex soft skills like focus & problem-solving. 3️⃣Keep it under 8 mins and let it flow like a story, not like reciting back my resume. Trust me, once I did this, interviews started feeling like actual conversations🫰

I quit my previous job and regretted it. I thought it was bad, but now I'm in a worse situation. 😢 Again, I found myself in between quitting or staying. I've been trying to give my best since day one, but after 1 year at this new place, I realize I'm just causing more nuisance to my team. At 1st everyone was so helpful, but now nobody speaks to me unless it's work related. and that too, in a cold manner bcz they know I'm not fit for the job. What should I do? Do I keep trying or let go?

My job search tip (that actually works for me): Always have a good reference 🤝 Some people keep saying “why no callback??” but maybe it’s bcz you didn’t list anyone who can really speak for your work ethic. I always list people I work closely with (not necessarily my boss). People who actually know how I work & can say nice things about me when companies call. So make sure you leave a good impression before leaving a job. Because a strong reference can speak louder than a resume sometimes.

I passed the 1st interview and got called in for the 2nd round. Everything went REALLY WELL, and I got the job offer the next day. But of course, not every story has a happy ending. The salary... is not what I expected. Right now I’m talking with HR, not the boss. Should I directly negotiate my salary with the boss? Is it okay to ask for his contact from HR to discuss salary expectations personally? I believe HR is not gonna get me the numbers I want. If any, they only gonna reduce it 😒

Sometimes I wonder if it's just how things are in Singapore where people with stable jobs are celebrated, and those like me - freelancers/part-timers are seen as “wasting time” and often look down on. My brother has a great corporate job. Me on the other hand enjoy the freedom & flexibility with no one to answer to. But my family thinks I'm a disappointment at 26 years old, with no future ahead. Am I really wrong for wanting something different? Why can't we just respect all kinds of jobs?
