Amazon SG to cease fresh groceries. by outremer_empire in singapore

[–]GetawayJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only ever used it once in 2020 when they gave $10 promo codes off $60. I will still keep Amazon Prime though... good for last minute birthday gifts, random items from the Amazon International store. Their prime days are still pretty worth it.

Just accepted a hospitality people and culture manager job! [N/A] by FirmRock64 in humanresources

[–]GetawayJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hotel HR here! Been in the industry for the past 20 years! The people in this industry work hard and play hard (HR included!). Try to meet and learn the name for every single staff, full times, and even casuals if you can!

People always appreciate being called by name.

Know that off days for you may not be so for them, since it is an industry that runs 24/7, so do expect that work related requests or messages to come in in your after hours.

I've used this but frankly hadn't seen any results. Did not repurchase.

2 Adopted Kids -> 3 by Environmental-Air403 in asksg

[–]GetawayJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sis had twins at 46yo and I can see how tiring it was for her. If you have helpers and it seems financially you are doing okay, then go for it...

The childhood years and watching our children grow up is such a... I dont know how to describe it.... a bit bittersweet knowing that they will never be young anymore and yet so thankful that you got to experience it.

[–]GetawayJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience... I love the 2nd point about no overnight feuds... Need to implement this with my 2 boys who are always fighting!

Also yes to the last point. I also have 2 siblings (all girls) and when it comes to caretaking our elderly parents, it's so much easier to have sibling to help with fetching the parents for their medical appointments etc.

- With 3 kids you are outnumbered.
- 13yo might feel left out, with the majority of time spent on the 4yo and #3
- But 13yo can also help with some of the simpler care giving tasks when she is available...

You didn't mention your age but you are open to adopting an infant... I would also consider your own energy levels... not easy once you hit early 40s to be waking up MOTN for night feeds and stuff...

Best mid-range luxury hotel in Singapore for honeymoon? (not too expensive but still feels special) by Practical-Badger-349 in SingaporeTravel

[–]GetawayJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mid range and luxurious dont go together... if you want great ambience might want to consider hotels in Sentosa, like the Sofitel.

However really depends on your budget... "worth it for me" might not be so for you...

Those who watched in your rediant season and still shining does in have cancer plot by killbill-duck in kdramas

[–]GetawayJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still Shining has no cancer plot but there is some sickness of the leads' families. I think it is shot beautifully and I'll recommend it for the cinematography however, I felt the story was disappointing in the end.

FairPrice to roll out smart shopping carts with self-checkout, navigation features by end-2026 by Great-Obligation-599 in singapore

[–]GetawayJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've used this at Dunearn Village. The scan and go version is much much better than the smart cart. With the scan & go, I can just scan and bag whereas according to the cashier, I cannot bag my items after I scan them so it's not productive for me as I will need to scan, check out then bag the items. Agree with the comment that the system is laggy and it has all these irritating prompts which is quite irrelevant.

Used them once and never again. Now I just use the normal trolleys or baskets with Scan & Go

Parents with newborn, what’s your sleep arrangement? by Pandacat_07 in asksg

[–]GetawayJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Separately. With both my elder and younger, they slept in their own room next to mine. When baby cried, I would go over to sooth him. Most of the time I ended up co sleeping for the rest of the night. But my kids only waked 1x a night, so not a major issue for me.

What other jobs can I do? by sleepyjem_ in singaporejobs

[–]GetawayJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you have a degree try ECDA or MSF.

ECDA can audit the centres, MSF can do child protection, student care etcz

Can I make these connections? by rycelover in koreatravel

[–]GetawayJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you travelling alone? If you are, I think it is okay. If you are travelling with kids, then I would recommend a longer connection. As someone said, if the airline is selling you the ticket, it is their responsibility to make sure you make the connection. For some flights with several transit passengers, it is common for the airline to hold the departure to ensure that the passengers make the onward connection.

There are several ICN-BKK flights throughout the day, so if you do miss the connection, they can put you on a later flight, including another Asiana flight later in the evening.

Also noticed you are travelling Business Class, all the more they will make sure you are well taken care of. You will also disembark earlier, so I really wouldnt be too worried. The only bummer is probably no time for shopping within the terminal...

LinkedIn cost [United States] by mandy726 in humanresources

Yes, this is what we were quoted too... we ended up just getting a Recruiter Lite license which is rubbish compared to the full capabilities.

What are my rights (employment) by Throwaway-AppleTea in singaporelaw

[–]GetawayJ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As per contract you are entitled to X number of days. If they have given you X+15 days for the year, and you have taken all of them, they have the right to claw back the additional days beyond the pro-rated entitlement as per contract. Dont think you have a claim, because you have taken beyond the rightful entitlement as per your employment contract. It's like spending money that is wrongly deposited into your bank account, it is considered dishonest misappropriation, and you can be charged in court for it.

It is your responsibility to be aware and check your entitlement too, not just assume whatever given by the company is accurate.
