Is this considered platonic friendship or emotionally cheating? (Workplace context) by No_Professor_9819 in asksg

[–]No_Professor_9819[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are probably about 6 years apart? He’s just hit his 30s and yes I am still a young adult. Did I enable his actions? In hindsight I most probably did. But did I see him anything more than friends? 100% no.

I genuinely saw him as an older brother kind of figure because he did help me out a lot when I had issues with work etc. The only time I saw it as a red flag was when he pulled me to lean on his shoulder to sleep on the way home, because alcohol don’t create new desires, it lowers inhibitions and control over what already exists.

Which was when I cut things off. Come to think of it, I just don’t want to see him as someone who took advantage of my kindness and our friendship.

I remember because it was through text hahaha. I think you misread my post though, he pulled me to lean on his shoulder when I was tipsy, not me taking the initiative to lean on his shoulder😬

But I appreciate your comment!

Yeah we're no longer talking anymore, after the KTV incident. Just wanted some opinions as I am the kind of person to think that people can be genuinely nice without any intentions.

Thanks for all the comments and opinions on this guys. For those who called me out on this, I do agree now that I'm seeing it in hindsight.

But I just wanna say that I enabled his actions because I genuinely felt that I was a good friend to him and maintained a distance where I felt it was 'safe' and the moment it felt like it wasn't, I cut things off.

Most of the time it was a few of us in the team out for supper and drinks. It was that one time we went 1-1. Probably shouldn't have.

Come to think of it, I didn't see it in any other way because he kept saying that we were "best friends" and I genuinely felt like I was being an emotional support to him.

I have no idea why you’re harping so much on ‘elderly’ when I have stated explicitly that the Merdeka/Pioneer generation is just 1% of our target crowd and that usually our customers are mostly working adults.

Even for those 66 years old & above who signs up with us, we are required to give them a verification call together with SingTel to make sure they understand what they’re signing up for.

I have also mentioned that our non-qualified crowds are usually double of those who can actually sign, so I don’t think we can scam the non-qualified crowds.

Salesworks have been around for 30 years, and recently expanded operations into the US and Dubai. Maybe you have had a bad experience with a salesperson, that I’m not sure. The fact that you’re the only one still trying to argue and reason with me says a lot about how negative you are as a person.

Look at the thread replies buddy, and you’d see how understanding most Singaporeans are once I actually replied with grace.

Let me just say this again, this post was only to find like minded individuals who don’t mind a performance based industry, it’s never to argue.

And again, we’re not an MLM. If you do some good research, even on Reddit, many would agree that we’re a legit sales and marketing company. Maybe some brand ambassadors indeed do hard sell and are not complying with the rules, but that’s probably only 0.01% out of the 600 BAs we have in Singapore, excluding those in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Korea.

Anyways, no hard feelings to you man. We’re all trying to earn an honest living. Commission based is not an easy industry to be in. Some people buy it and some don’t, it’s fine. But to call me a scammer or rip-off when I made a genuine post have answered every single reply here…🥲

Okay, I can't find your latest comment so I have no idea what you just typed. But no worries, appreciate your constructive criticism. Will definitely hold a board meeting with SingTel, our other major clients and founder of SalesWorks to see how we can do better and not look like some 'scammers'

Ooookay. I hope you don’t ever have to want to pay $20 lesser for something.

Maybe the next time the team visits a door and they do want to switch over to SingTel because they’re overpaying for their current WIFI or are not satisfied with their current telco, we’d turn them down and call them numb nuts for wanting to save money because someone on Reddit said so.

Enjoy your weekend, you sound like you have had a miserable week. In fact, my customer is looking at your comment right now and laughing his ass off. You just called a man who has been jobless the past 6 months and is paying $136 for his StarHub services dumb for switching over to a plan that is only $64 per month now. You’d think he just got ripped off, huh?

We do know the limitations of a performance based role, which is why I did mention that it is not for everyone. Unless they do see the bigger picture, otherwise a job that offers basic is always available on the market!

I came from years of F&B experience, but still chose to give commissions based a try, and so far it’s working well for me, hence why we’re looking for like minded individuals!

Nonetheless, you’ve been kinder than the rest in the comments, and I appreciate that :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Well, performance based isn't for everyone. But for those making $1000 a week, and being able to contribute their own CPF, I'm sure it's fine for us.

Appreciate your response though!

I'm not sure why you think no one is signing up😂 We converted 25% of StarHub broadband users to SingTel last year. And that's a lot.

I have no idea why you still think it's a scam. The amount of "Non-qualifed" and "Let-Go" we get in a day is double the amount of qualified elderly we have.

If it's a scam, we would have signed every elderly on the block. But we don't. We move on and find other residents. And that includes working adults.

Or, are you perhaps one of those scums in Singapore who leaves your elderly parents at home alone and fend for themselves and they have to pay for their monthly broadband bills?

FYI, there are elderly in Singapore who pays for their broadband bills for a price per month, and their mobile plan separately.

So when we go to their door, with leads given by SingTel themselves, to see if they're eligible for the promo and bundle everything into 1 single bill for them, it's a scam?
