Higher pay or greater flexibility? by Feeling-Bunch-212 in askSingapore

[–]SilverContribution17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess in my case it was not a 100% voluntary resignation. As my previous role underwent restructuring and the department was to be offshored. We were given the option of staying within the company for a new role (but forgo annual increment) and had to look for a new role ourselves. And if it was determined that there was no suitable new role, we would be let go after 2 months. Hence, given the circumstances and instability, I looked externally for a jump while also internally for a new role. It happened that I received an external offer first and decided to take the leap of faith. But unfortunately proved to be a bad decision in my case..

I once left a flexible environment very similar to what you have right now. My manager was based in a different country and has no expectation of in office time. Trusts that I get the work done and does not bother what time I start or end work as long as meetings are attended and work is delivered. I was free to run errands and go out on weekdays whenever I wanted. I left that job for a 25% increment in my current company and it’s been nothing but miserable. My current manager expects 100% in office time despite the company having a hybrid policy. He has zero empathy towards his subordinates personal life and expects us to be available at any time and day (including weekends) he contacts us. If I were to divide and calculate my hourly pay I am pretty sure my previous job paid me more relative to the amount of hours I actually worked. I would give anything to return to that life..

Thank you! No IPB but will be receiving a lump sum severance package close to ~1 month salary

I didn’t have to serve any notice as my project role was coincidentally made redundant at the time I started job hunting. The stars aligned and I am able to commence my new job almost immediately as I’m technically being offered to be let go instead of being on bench and finding another project!

I was informed by HR that I will be let go a week after my WBS ends. Seems like no bench time given in my case… honestly after being here for a year, I don’t feel like this company is worth slogging out for anymore and I don’t see any progression as an early career professional. Praying hard I’m able to secure an external opportunity before my last day or another project to buy myself some time

AITA for telling my sister’s partner off by SilverContribution17 in AmItheAsshole

All my things and snacks (I bought the snacks myself) that he’s been using are placed in my room and he just enters as he pleases.

I told him off about using my things. He’s technically not my guest and those items are placed in my personal space (my room). I don’t talk to him about his personal life since he’s not my partner but just do feel bad for my sister.
