I need you advice kind people! I know I might be overreacting on this, but please hear me out and give your opinions: I am on DP and have been working in a local company for a year, with a Letter of Consent. Two weeks ago, my husband got a proposal from his Singaporean employer to go to Qatar for a ...

I will be moving out from my current appartment in 2 months, and when I announced that to the Landlord, all of the sudden he offered he is willing to actually steep down $200-400 from the rent. Greedy bastard! Last year he was crying an whining how he is actually doing me a favor with only "$1800 re...

Actually, being cool and not worrying about it might not be the way :P I actually got an official comment from my boss, that as much as they understand I'm a sweaty angmo, they don't tolerate that in office. Seriously, very embarrassing to hear your boss tell you to come to work by taxi :|. I have a...

Hi Robstar! If you are a single white male, dun worry about social life - you will have a lot of girls interested in you :P For me I am definitely happy I moved to Singapore. But I moved from a really dangerous and poor country, so I appreciate living in a developed economy and society. But as some ...

Hi, I have a double degree and one of them is Political Science.. From my humble experience I can only tell you that Political Science ( especially acquired abroad) is not well perceived in SG. Maybe because politics here is considered a very uneasy topic, and outsiders with their free thinking view...

I have been bummed for the past few months, and I guess it also reflected on how the team perceives my performance...

Should have talked to you guys earlier. I'm prolly gonna get fired Oh well...

hey guys, just a quick update from me. This thread helped me a lot, I guess I really needed some shaking up... I blamed my agency for not paying me as much as I would feel comfortable with... But I guess thats one thing I gotta accept. It still irks me to know that others earn more, but that just sh...

Don't companies ask for last pay-slip?

I always say that my salary is a subject to privacy policy in the company, and i can't disclose...

Honestly, I'm sorry to be harsh, but get over it. As SMS says, you don't have to endure it if you don't want to. Thats partially why I needed to ask you guys for another opinion. I'm already looking around for alternative job options, but if 2k is what I will get regardless of the employer, then I ...

Addadude, thx for all your words. But I feel I need to clarify myself once more: I feel cheated cuz during the negotiation process I got the impression that I will eventual earn more (and my employer did nothing to disperse that impression). I knew the average is 2500 SGD for marketing executives, a...

Let me explain bit bout the double Masters.. I started doing Political Science, but it felt very meek in terms of background knowledge in economics, maths or marketing, so I signed up for Marketing&Management track at another uni. Ended up specializing in political marketing ;) I guess I agreed to 2...

I don't mind long working hours to, but it feels like all work no play...

I wish after a week of working 14 hours a day I could go out to party or on a weekend trip some where... But no chance for that. Not without going flat broke and recovering for next 10 months.
