I purposely lowered down my expected salary to match all the jobs that I applied for and to my surprise, there are still companies who don't hire me because they think I might leave as soon as I found a better job with higher salary. 😅 Even though I've tried my best to convince them that I'm gonna stay as long as possible, they just find it hard to believe. FYI, there are people like me.. we are hungry for experience, skills and knowledge, not just mere paycheck. Give us a chance, ok? 😉

Those who got retrenched, how do you bounce back? Need some supportive words from you guys. 🙏 Since I got laid off last year, it's been so challenging getting back on my feet. Can't help but to compare myself with my peers who are enjoying life with families, owning properties, buying cars, travelling overseas while me struggling to secure a new job at 37 years old. Never once I imagine myself would be in this situation so it's been very hard for me to navigate. Pray for my mental health TQ

Is it common to get ignored and excluded from team's meeting when you've already tendered your resignation? I didn't do this willingly but I was forced to submit it after a project failed and my boss put the blame entirely on me. I thought if I resigned, everybody will be happy and not treat me like a stranger. After all, I was thrown under the bus for them! All I'm asking is just a friendship that would last even after I don't work here anymore. Is it too much to ask? Why are they so mean??

Dear fresh grads, don't be too quick to give up. Exhibit A: me! 🤗It’s only been a year at my current job, but I'm glad I choose to persevere. Sure, management can be unpredictable, and the pace can be intense, but I’ve learned to adapt and see challenges as opportunities. All thanks to my boss & colleagues who are very passionate in their jobs & have the highest patience when teaching me things I don't know about. I may still make mistakes, but at least I'm not alone in this journey 😌

Feeling conflicted and need advice urgently! I received a job offer with a slight salary increase. It’s an improvement, but after being underpaid for so long, I'm hoping for at least 20% increment. But the hiring manager was very firm that the pay is final. No flexibility at all. Now I’m debating whether mentioning a “competing offer” (that doesn’t exist) could help or is it going seriously backfire. Can HR ask for proof? Will they know? And what’s the worst that could happen if they do??

I’ve been with this company for 3 years, and this is the 1st time I’m hearing there will be no increment/bonus next year due to company's cutting cost. My boss even said we should fee "lucky" that no one got laid off because they’re being considerate & thoughtful, so we cannot complain. Honestly, IDK how to feel about this. Definitely demotivating & demoralizing after putting in so much efforts. Now HOW do I keep myself excited to come to work everyday knowing there'll be NO increment & bonus??

Here’s my wishes for 2026 ✨ Meaningful work, growth, fair pay, and a healthy team environment! If this resonates with you, tap that ❤️ This year, I’m choosing to let go what didn’t work from my previous experience. I’m focusing on what’s ahead because the future waits for no one. I promise myself that I won’t dim my expectations or lower my standards just to feel “safe". Even when the journey gets tough, i'll stay hopeful because I trust what’s meant for me will find me. Including my dream job!

Im working 12hr shifts. Previously, we need to submit 1month ahead for our roster which is normal. Then slowly, it changes to 8weeks. And now, my hiring manager is requesting for 3months ahead all because he is tired of reviewing and gaslight us by saying “its also good for us to plan ahead”. I hope no one gets a boss that only thinks of himself. Starting 2026 with a new nonsense

Have u ever found a job ads you applied for online 2–3 months ago being reposted? You applied again, got ghosted, or the application expired, and then a few months later....BOOM! IT COMES BACK! As a full-time job seeker, I’m seeing this trend throughout the year and I’m beginning to wonder… Is there REALLY a job opening in your company? Or are you just collecting resumes? Or is the position really tough and people come and go almost immediately? So, which is it REALLY? I'm so confused
