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?

Recently was offered a fast food delivery driver job. Something new for me to explore. I wanted to do it for the sake of getting extra pay and plus, I loved going outside on a drive and enjoying time to myself. I'm worried about not doing a good job right from the start.. Do food delivery jobs track speed a lot? If I’m slow, could I get in trouble or fired? Just wondering what to expect. Thanks to anyone who responds!

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

I got an unexpected call from a recruiter and was really excited about the opportunity. When she asked about my salary expectation, I gave X number, and she seemed really pleased & now arranging interview for me. But after checking the company's reviews, I realized their benefits—especially health insurance—aren't very good, and the longer commute will cost me more too. Is it still okay to ask for a higher salary now, or could that cause some tension?

Looking for some advice on what to do, seeing if anyone else is also in my shoes. I graduated from Poly in 2023 and I have been looking for a job ever since, with no luck. I have been applying but no replies. I am also a foreigner at that, so I don't know what to do anymore and I am getting desperate.

Hi there! I’ve received an offer and the salary is way below my expected salary as they gave me my minimum acceptable pay. The minimum pay I gave was before knowing about the benefits. Needed some advice because the working hours are from 8.30am to 6.15pm from Monday to Friday, the travelling will take 1 hour from my home. AL is 12 days. No AWS only performance bonus. Been out of job for quite a few months now. Not a fresh grad, currently still pursuing my part time degree.

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??

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?
