Fresh grad here and this is my 1st full-time job. I’m an introverted, so I usually keep to myself & try to settle things on my own. But lately, I notice my boss been giving me silent treatment, and my colleagues have started to avoid me too. I feel like they’re indirectly asking me to quit. My boss says my work isn’t up to standard and that she’s given me “many chances.” I honestly don’t know how to fix myself. I don’t want to lose this job, but whatever I do is always wrong. Help me pls!!

It's only been 3 months since I join this company but I can't tahan being "used" by others and feel like I wanna quit my job. Can safely say I experience "extreme" culture shock here. Everyday I rush to deliver tasks bcz I'm helping 3 seniors, with tons of backlogs and I don't even learn anything new. I work like admin + assistant, instead of my original role. I only do stuff that's already been done by others, not contributing new ideas or anything exciting. This is not what I sign up for ☹️

35, jobless, broke (literally only $500 in my account) & still living with my parents. Am i a failure? Got retrenched last year and haven’t been able to land anything since. Is it age factor? IDK. My savings almost gone while most of my friends are either getting married, buying houses, or climbing career ladders but I'm stuck in a loop of rejection emails with zero motivation. I feel like I’ve failed in every way possible & it's so late to start over again. IDK what else to do. Any advice?

Would you say YES to a counter offer? My boss is offering to match my salary to the new job offer > 35% increment but my position remains the same, no add-on to the existing company benefits. But the new job offer will give me MANAGER title & slightly better benefits. What I like about my current company is Boss will allow WFH/take MC if needed, no question ask but career growth is very slow. I like the leniency + not ready to take more responsibilities but long-term wise, I'm not sure. WDYT?

Been at this company for over a year, and it’s been nothing but frustration. I suggested a process improvement, thinking I was being helpful, but my manager accused me of "challenging authority" & "talking back." I was pulled off the project and told my "performance" was lacking, with no clear feedback. When asked, my manager just said team "not happy with my attitude." Now I’m sidelined with no work, and HR’s ignoring me. Seriously considering moving on. Anyone else dealt with this nonsense?

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?

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😢

Hi, I’m wondering if JobStreet really works ? ??Because I have applied for about 100 jobs and haven’t received any responses—whether it’s a rejection or still under review. I don’t get any updates at all. It feels like throwing water into a desert—nothing comes back, and nothing changes.

I’ve been in the job market for 10 years, with many short-term roles—mostly lasting under 3 months—except for contractor positions, which lasted longer. I had a near year-long gap in employment, but during the COVID period, I made a bold career switch into IT. After completing my IT contract, I briefly moved into auditing before returning to IT, where I held a role for nearly 3 years. After a 5-month unemployment gap, I secured another position but left after 3 weeks. Is this bad?
