Is it wrong if i got an MC but instead of resting at home I go for a walk at a mall? I'm really stressed out. I took my meds already, felt quite OK so I go for window shopping just to feel better. I shared some pics on my whatsapp story but my boss saw it (forgot to hide) and scold me. Saying if i'm healthy enough to go shopping, then i'm definitely healthy enough to come to work. But i already got MC. What I wanna do on my rest day is none of her business right? Can she bring this issue to HR?

Funny lah how some companies advertise their job vacancies. "Entry-level" but "must have 2-3 years of experience". Are you being for real right now? How can these two paradoxical statements exist together in a job requirement? Entry-level means it's suitable for ALL candidates with or without job experience. You are supposed to teach new comers from scratch, and not expecting them to ALREADY know the way around. If you don't open doors for us fresh grads, how can we get experience?? Tell me!

A new study from Jobstreet reveals that only 56% of Singaporean workers are happy at work. Are you one of them? 😍 Do you truly believe we can hit 80–100% job happiness here? A 🥲 — Happy at work? Never heard of her. B 💪 — Yes, but we need BIG changes. C 🤷 — Maybe. Depends on the boss, the pay, and the vibes. D 😤 — My hot take is in the comments.

inInterview tips

What kind of interview question is this 🫠 I spent 3 weeks prepping for my 1st corporate interview. I was so excited, covered all bases. I studied their company background, products, management, clients etc. But during the IV, they asked for a time I've led a cross-functional team. Huh?? I've never had a full-time job. What does that even mean?? How are grads supposed to answer experience-heavy questions like this? I answered as best as I can but dunno if that's gonna lead me to 2nd stage hmm

Tell me who is at fault. Is it me or HR?? Since graduated, I've applied over 200 jobs and only secured 4 interviews. As if that's not bad enough, I get only ONE job offer and that too, they're giving me lower than my expected salary. HR say, take it or leave it like I'm a 2nd or 3rd choice. 🫩 I tailor every application as much as I can, I always follow up after applying and keep improving my resume. I genuinely don't know what I'm doing wrong! Or is this just the way the market is rite now?

Considering everything is getting more expensive now due to whatever that's going on (urrgghh), I'm thinking of moving to JB but commuting daily to SG to work. Is this a wise decision or nah? Currently I'm working hybrid, only 2x at the office so I don't need to spend a lot for travelling. Food is definitely cheaper in JB and groceries too. I can rent a whole condo for the same price of a small room in Jurong. Family-wise, I don't need to see them often so that's a blessing. So, yes or no?

People think I’m lucky working in a family business. From the outside, it looks like I have everything. A high position, a “great” salary, nice clothes. But the reality is very different. My salary always comes last, and it’s even lower than my manager’s. It’s been 3 years, and I’m seriously thinking of leaving. The problem is… It’s family. Quitting = betrayal. But honestly, I can’t keep going like this. I’m not growing and I’m exhausted. Give me ideas on how I can leave peacefully. Please!

What do u do when the small company that ure working with decided ur role is redundant and decided to let u go. Issue here is 1, my direct boss did not even have a decency to call or text me n say it to me but decided to have another boss to text me instead. 2, told me official termination date will be back-dated. 3, im still waiting on HR to pass me my termination letter & also some claims I have as its still pending n have been chasing it for 3rd week now.

Just don't understand..the market is so bad right now and Istg i'm so tired of job hunting but think about it , how are we supposed to get the "experience" if non of the company is willing to accept us? So how do you gain the experience tho?
