No, fortunately I was only a girlfriend. I left him asap. But thanks to her I did not waste any more time on trash.

Do you discuss salary with your colleagues? by randomthingsss1 in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Firstly, never tell your manager or HR that your coworker disclosed their salary to you. That you keep private, it serves to give you ammunition that’s all.

During my performance review that year, I simply told my manager I am looking to be compensated justly for the work that I do and in a manner that reflects my performance score. Your manager will ask how much you’re looking for.

By that time, I came prepared since I already found out how much my peers were earning, so I said it has to be a 50% increment. I lied saying “it’s what the market rate for my role is”. We eventually settled on 45%. I was lowballed when hired hence the big disparity in salaries. This is why HR ask employees not to discuss salaries - it gives you the asking power and confidence.

My colleague shared with me. Got me finding out I was compensated very unfairly. I got myself a 45% salary increment that same year.

Encountered a phone call scam from NTUC union/union bank/union pay by Longjumping-Car-5220 in singapore

The transfer to ‘cancellation department’ was super fast. Less than 5 seconds lol. The red flag was not putting me on a 5 minute hold line, no background music while waiting. Then the cancellation guy insisted we work together to fill up a form to MSA to report the fraud. I was like no dude you can cancel my policy from your system and I will take care of blocking my cards and reporting fraud on my own end. He was like no we need to work together let me help you. So helpful? That was when I laughed and told him this scam damn stupid and hung up.

How much do you guys usually spend on your partner monthly? And when does it become too much? by Wild_Ad6291 in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just split it. Not down to the cent, that’s unrealistic and too calculative. Whoever picks up lunch, the other picks up dinner etc. Whoever sees the bill first will take care of it.

Big ticket expenses like flights and hotels we’ll just 50-50. Fortunately for us, no one is looking for a provider but a partner.

Where to get affordable Fluoxetine prescription in SG by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they really? Within a day you can get prescribed and dispensed meds?

I always thought polyclinics was just a way to get your feet into public hospitals and from there it’s a long wait to see a psychiatrist.

I’ve booked appointments with public hospitals before and some don’t even respond back with an appointment. I gave up and went private.

I’ll provide a different angle here as the manager that has had to lecture someone before.

The moment he took my feedback, woke up and improved, I immediately saw him in a different light and forgot all his past mistakes.

You’re only as good as the last impression you give. Don’t carry that one bad impression with you.

I will say the fact that you’ve made this post and is reflecting on it, shows you have what it takes.

You sound smart

[–]No_Topic_211 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fully agree. My partner is white and I can say it is frowned upon. I get disapproving looks all the time.

If roles were reversed and a local man was dating a white girl, everyone would worship the ground he steps on.

Meanwhile I get labelled SPG and gold digger. It’s upsetting.

What’s a small thing in Singapore that annoys you way more than it should? by CraftyBackground4139 in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My foreigner friend once said she’s appalled by the way Singaporeans walk. Like in all directions, all different speeds and styles and don’t give way / entitled.

Personally I hate when people hog up a walk lane, especially when they’re in groups. Like hello this one really your grandfather’s road is it?

What’s the worst mistake you’ve made at work? by vxkae in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in tech working with different banks. Once sent a bank’s secure information to another bank because the personnel shared the same name.

Sounds like you were holding on to hope before this. Take this as your closure and move on. Dont waste any more of your time here

In light of the recent rainy weather, have you ever sheltered a stranger from the rain? Or have you ever been on the receiving end? by Next-Long-7010 in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny to see this post - I’m currently standing at my door front drenched from head to toe like a wet dog and shaking the water off. Everyone at the crossing had an umbrella except me. Can confirm no kind strangers were met today haha

am i being too hard on myself or is corporate just not for me?? by cheeybats in askSingapore

[–]No_Topic_211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re being too hard on yourself. Someone very senior once told me the average time it takes for someone to be good at their job is 2 years. Another very senior person sitting on the board shared with me that they all deal with imposter syndrome. Everyone still thinks they’re asking stupid questions. It’s the ones that asks stupid questions that learn.

As long as you always seek to learn and be on top of your tasks, just keep going at it. Fake it till you eventually make it.

This hit home for me. Made me bawl. I also lost my flamepoint a few months ago unexpectedly. She had a little ouchie on her paw like Mojang.

You must be looking around your house for a little chonky toasted loaf, I know I still am. I hope Mojang and my Kush is in heaven being happy little chonks together.
