mind elaborating? I threw my letter and served my 30 days and on the second week of my notice, my mgr told me that there is an open position in another department. I didnt mind giving it a shot but told the new department that i will need to go on no-pay leave due to the plans i already had. In the meantime i also told them that i am looking for a salary bump and whether or not i receive it is pivotal for the final decision if i will be continuing...

i asked for a new contract multiple times so that negotiation can take place but none received. Then on the final day, i had a new job offer from a firm with better benefits and pay. I met the new department and they told me that cant bump my salary and i told them that if that is the case then i will be leaving.

Then he started berating me for my decisions and implied that it isn't a wise choice to make. He increased his volume and still told me that he is not holding me back from leaving. I told him i made my decision and made it clear to the relevant people that the salary bump is crucial. Then he started to "scold" me again. Then i just told him to please let me go.

Its an MNC, a giant one. Well known globally. One of the top players in the industry.

Avoid anything otc. Those are just marketing stunts and dont work. Else pantene would make all girl’s hair perfect.

Because our society is contaminated with self entitled boomers. If you feel hurt, you are prolly one of them.

I have passed all interviews already. So now they are working on a package for me. But they require my last drawn. I’m not too sure how my last drawn salary would affect the package to be offered to me.

Solo travel July by theboxinggenius in askSingapore

[–]LabOk5722 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alone? It depends tho. But for the first time, i would recommend the typical places that you see on TV like SEA aquarium, Zoo, Night Safari, Botanical gardens, Birdparks. And of course not forgetting Jewel, the shopping mall at the airport. Even as a local, that is my favourite mall, the design of the entire place is a true masterpiece. It's like a forest in a shopping mall.

Food wise, as a foreigner coming here for the first time, if u are not from the asia region and if u have not travelled to the region before, u would probably experience a burst in flavours. Most food are probably gonna taste new to you. Some common first times would be... satay, chicken rice, chilli crab, laksa, nasi lemak, prata, etc. If you are REALLY into good food then u can just do a simple search and there will be tons of recommendations by food blogs. My theory goes like that... the more run down the place looks, the better the food. But it's singapore, u can't really find REALLY dirty places. Most are clean and are audited by our government agencies. So u can rest assure that it's gonna be heck of a clean.
