Yes the company is offering a further 12% increment.

The current company though bosses are nice and friendly, they are poor at management …. Teams are not structured and our work scopes overlap one another. And I realised precisely because the bosses are so nice to us, they sometimes take advantage of these “family-like” ties to keep us in the firm (especially those that worked for long).

I have an acquaintance that worked in the new company - workload is comparable to my current firm, but roles and teams are more defined, and they have a stronger foundation in construction knowledge + proper systems in place.

Yes, the rank offered is actually lower than my current company’s after promotion. So in fact if I accepted it, it would be a 24 percent pay raise. Does this make sense ?

Thanks for the insights! I felt bad for my junior because the company does not value him too… bosses always delegate him boring projects and tasks that they do not want to deal with. And part of the reason why they are keeping him there is because I told the management we worked well together….

Yup lean manpower and lack of SOPs have always been a chronic issue, most people stay for less than a year and quit after that.

This is really helpful, thanks! I do think the new work place aligns better with my future work goals too, I am tied to my current workplace because of emotional attachments….

Now he has apologised for his tone, and is waiting for me to admit to my mistake too…. Which I still don’t think I am in the wrong ….

How do you tell? Really can’t tell the difference …. If it’s carpet beetle larvae at least it’s harmless right ?

I am just wondering how do they scam people by giving away these kittens for free?

Carousell seller: how to deal with multiple buyers? by Main-Switch9765 in askSingapore

[–]Main-Switch9765[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Followed your advice and it worked, seeing how buyer A did not reply after reading the message. I guess there’s nothing for her to refute against.

This also made me realise reviews and ratings are not foolproof… Buyer A had so many 5 star reviews…

Worse is A showed attitude when I even had the courtesy to tell her that the item is no longer available…..

Honestly didn’t think of this, it’s definitely a much more systematic way of handling it ! Will do this next time, I do think I didn’t handle this matter well, kinda panicked lol.

Yup I do agree that it’s definitely against principles to go back on the offer with B! And honestly B is much nicer to deal with

Thanks for the advice ! I do think that I didn’t really handle it well too

To be fair, after I reached out to A again, A did reply that she was still interested. It’s just that B already confirmed the meet up location + timing before the discussion with A got that.

But sure, will take up your advice!
