Got laid off after taking long MC. How can i fight this?? I was on medical leave for a while (2 months) due to health issues. Came back thinking I could ease back into work but instead, I was told I’m being let go. Boss claims it’s “company restructuring,” but the timing feels way too suspicious. I can’t help but feel my MC played a part in this. Can I report it to MOM? How do I even prove they fired me because of my medical leave? Honestly, I’m too shocked and devastated right now😢

Why is my luck so bad?? I was promised a major salary increment during performance review last year. Fast forward to now, NOTHING. When I brought up this matter, boss said budget's tight, cost of operations increased, we can’t afford it. But somehow, they got money for new hires & company events? Honestly, I felt cheated but bcz this is the 1st time it's happening to me, i can't help to wonder is it me?? What did i do wrong? Past years, I've always received 2% increment but not this year. :(

What's the point of fresh grads median salary hits $4500 in 2025 when more of us REMAIN JOBLESS 6 months after leaving school?? Yes, we want decent salary but we also want MORE jobs vacancies provided for us. I don't mind earning less than $4.5k for my 1st job as long as i get a job within 3-4 months after graduating. The faster i secure a job, the faster I'll gain exposure & experience + the chances to increase my salary later on. Pls, give us more opportunities! Sincerely, i'm-8month-jobless

Been working for 6 years with a poly diploma, but my salary is still stuck at $3.5K. I’ve been applying for $4K+ roles, but after countless rejection, i begin to wonder.. does my 6YOE mean NOTHING in comparison to a piece of degree cert?? TBH, I'm not jealous or anything but seriously it’s SUPER FRUSTRATING that even being 6 years in the industry, I still can’t beat a fresh grad with 0 EXPERIENCE just because they have a degree! Tell me, how do i break past $4K? Get a degree too??

Feeling absolutely drained every.single.day. Ever since I joined this company, it’s been non-stop stress. Boss wants to be CC-ed in every email & questions every word. We've to submit daily progress reports even if there’s nothing urgent. I also have back-to-back Zooms from 9am-9pm, with barely any breaks. We're not allowed to excuse ourselves (from meetings) even after working hours. I’m seriously exhausted. What should I do? I’m only a few months in and already feel like I’m burning out.

35F, married with a kid. Since becoming a mother, my priorities have changed but my colleagues don’t seem to get it. They still expect me to work late, reply at night, & spend weekends on tasks like I have ZERO responsibilities at home. Even when I take leave to care for my child, work keeps coming in non-stop. I want to set boundaries, but IDK how to. Partially I'm to be blamed because I've always been a workaholic. But now it's different. How do i tell them to respect my time & space?

Fresh grad here, just joined this company 1 week ago & honestly REALLY shocked when I read my company’s manual book. EXAMPLES: If I take MC, they gonna cut my pay in half. Late 5 mins= $5 fine, 10 mins= $10, and IT INCREASES. Toilet break more than 10 mins will be flagged by HR. Also can’t use AL during notice period, must clear all leave before resigning. This is the 1st proper office job for me, so I’m a bit confused. Are these rules NORMAL in SG or am I in a red flag one?? Should i run?

Anyone here LOVE what you studied but HATE your work? 😩 I majored in engineering bcz since school days I've always enjoyed problem-solving, designing, & seeing things come to life. Studying engineering was 1 of the best decisions in my life! So naturally, i thought working wld be fun as well but turns out, it's totally different. The long hours, endless paperwork.. no more passion, just stressss. I thought I’d be building something exciting, but nope, I'm just a corporate slave. ☹️

Was amused after seeing this resignation letter, bro woke up and chose violence. Ya better be straightforward right niao, GenZ! That's gonna be few weeks of awkwardness. 😂 But seriously, I feel for him as I'm somewhat in the same position. It's very frustrating. How do you think I can relay this professionally to my boss and company?
