I just started at this new company about 2 months ago. I've never taken any MC/AL because I'm still under probation. But this week, I had a terrible stomach ache on Monday morning. Went to the loo countless times so I texted my boss telling her that I'm going to get an MC. Surprisingly, she got super angry and she said NOBODY should take MC on Monday. It's just an unspoken rule in the working world. Question: Is it true? Second, should I resign before I got confirmed next month?

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??

Is it really wrong to do other stuff during WFH? 😭 I got caught doing laundry and running errands, but I always deliver my work on time and meet deadlines. Many times I reply late but still within reasonable time and it's not because I’m slacking off but I was just multitasking with other things. Now my boss says he’ll bring it up during appraisal and might take away my WFH privilege. How do I explain myself and convince him that I’m still productive, just with better work-life balance?

In my company, it’s common for my boss and teammates to message after work hours and expect a fast reply. At first I could tolerate it, but now I get super anxious every time I see their texts. I’m thinking of getting a separate phone just for work so I can switch it off after hours and finally rest. I want better mental boundaries, but with appraisal season coming up, I’m scared it might look bad. Anyone tried this or found a better way to set boundaries without hurting your yearly review?

This is a job confession. I’m low-key envious of my cousin. He’s only a bus driver, a job that many in SG would look down on yet he earns a solid income, has great work-life balance, and actually enjoys what he does. Our family & people around him find it odd because he’s smart, has a degree, but he’s happier than most of us who stuck working in offices. Meanwhile, I got a “respectable” job but chained to my desk, stressed out & wondering if this so-called "prestige" is really worth it. ☹️
