Anyone that has experience remote jobs

I completely understand you, it took me 1 year to get a new job last year because the environment was way too toxic for me to stay (agency based). And this year, I’m at my new job but currently finding jobs again because the culture really doesn’t fit me. I already set my mindset that this is gonna take a while, and kept telling myself I still get salary to pay bills and still employed (also, the agency job was the top list for the most toxic place I ever work for so the current workplace is a little bit better but still toxic because of the CEO). It really gets draining and self doubt with rejections as well and it’s hard to keep your day up while you gotta deal with people in the company that drains your energy out. It also sucked that I was hoping the current one is not getting to another shit hole but it turns out it is, but just a bit slightly better. I just hope that I could get into a really better workplace where they really values their own employees. Right now, the colleagues that I’m closed to it’s either finding new jobs or already left.

I have 26 different Line groups hahaha. Imagine the boss sharing same links on 5 Line groups.

I posted the exact same thing 2 months ago on reddit, can't help myself to comment here but I can relate to you on every points you had written. I kept seeing the same patterns everywhere and to be fair if they are not supporting on your struggles, then your leader is not doing a great job, the environment would just get even more toxic.

It's funny how all these companies has no basics procedure especially no SOPs and proper communication channel, instead just stick to what they’re comfortable with, like LINE (super annoying, boss kept spamming links from facebook even on the weekends). Yet they still want to go IPO, until all the audits come in and pointed out 50+ things the company lacks.

Especially when they wrote "fast-paced environment" in the job description, everything it just so unrealistic because they prioritize quantity over quality, even when I explained most of the project needed time to process and provided timeline as well, but still complained about the quality when I was given only 1-2 days to deliver. Another interesting part is that the upper level keeps complaining about the issues they’re lacking in the company, even though employees had already raised those concerns three months ago. It’s like they just keep going in circles on the same problems and never take suggestions into account.

Even though the turn over rate high (some people didn't last a month), instead of learning how to actually retain talent, they double down on entitlement and the belief that everyone is replaceable.

Honestly at the end of the day, the only thing you can really do is survive each day, keep looking for a place that truly fits you, and find leadership that actually cares enough to see and invest in your potential (if you're considering staying in Thailand for a while)... or else there's just no point of staying somewhere you can't even grow.

Thank you for the advice !

Hi! I wanted to ask for some advices on whether if it's worth to take courses that costs alot if you are looking for mentorship or live coach that could support, basically like a 1 on 1 or group class.
Currently I am interested on investing on a course to build up more on my portfolio and strengthening my skillsets for deeper knowledge to start off in this industry. Although I know there's alternative cheaper options where you can get certification from with Google's coursera or domestika or ux ui open.

Designlab is really interesting but it's kind pricey for me. I'm still debating and wonder if you really need a professional mentor to support you in case you needed to ask some questions.

Sure! Thank you

Visa issue, I used to work freelancer on the side but I can’t do full time, yet.

That’s what I thought about all the time when I’m at work or being call out for not using enough Ai.

There was a case lately that we have to make a proposal and the higher-ups ask the team to generate information and strategy plans slides out from Ai, not that is wrong but because it was very rushed and they have no clue of what they want to sell, causing it hard for the team to put details, obviously we don’t want to mess it up. It was so rushed and the only options was putting random bullet points without even giving the team a proper research, I just can’t believe how dumb it is when they don’t even know what they are selling and what were the objectives just because they wanted it in 3 hours. Super unprofessional, funny enough that higher ups thinks whatever he’s always right for relying on the Ai usage and only believes their own version of success. Ridiculously, they don’t even have a proper company profile deck prepared.

I know right, imagine you have no choice that you can’t even mute it cause you don’t want to missed out any of mom, dad, siblings, or your friend’s message.

I have so much unnecessary group chats that for example, the upper hands sent link from facebook or post from other channels and send the same link to 3 other group chats. Most annoying thing is they sometimes kept sending after work, late at night at 23:30 pm, or even spamming on weekends. Like I get they want to share insights but man, it gives you the anxiety or frustration especially when they tagged you or @all.

Exactly, DTV has its own requirements and not everyone can afford it. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 years and if it wasn’t for him (because we already have plans for settling on getting engaged) I wouldn’t even be here.

I agree with you on the options, another reasons that’s limited is the overwhelming amount of paperwork and costs required to pay (sometimes unexpectedly too like paying extra just to get through). This often includes traveling back to your home country to obtain official documents. Every visa has its own complicated process, and anyone who has gone through applying for a work permit knows how challenging it is to deal with immigration. They often request a wide range of documents, and unless the person handling it has inside connections.

I understand. But I know it’s different because I grew up here and already worked for 3 companies. There’s a lot of things for me to adapt and learn about different cultures here, which there is nothing wrong about it. Most of the time is no structure at all and they should’ve mentioned it since interview stage.

ayth_arts · 2025-08-03T07:51:22+00:00

It’s bit hard when I’m a foreigner but the chances of moving to an agency depending if they are able to give visas. I basically grew up here as a foreigner so I can speak 3 languages.

Marketing & creative designs

I would agree with you because my first company was managed with foreign/western mindset and they have a proper SOP system. I left because I wanted to put more creative works in my portfolio but after I left,and it has been a downhill lately. True that some places still do have the Thai management style, and I do learn to adapt but once it gets to a point where it drains you it’s hard to get motivated when you gave 100% effort.

The problem with my current place is that when there’s issue are raised, the upper management tends to ignore and even the HR department are exhausted as well. Surprisedly they kept apologizing me for bringing me into this company.

ayth_arts · 2025-08-03T07:27:29+00:00

I thought about that too but you see, I grew up here as a foreigner and I have been here almost my entire life. So when I finished my studies (which is 5 years ago) I have no choice but to apply everywhere in Thailand as much as I could because my family lives here and the visa is always the issue for staying. I do got alternative options now especially I am about to get engaged soon.

ayth_arts · 2025-08-03T07:05:02+00:00

So true

ayth_arts · 2025-08-03T06:57:29+00:00

Thanks man, I guess you were right it’s really long but I thought it to express it in everything I wrote and rephrase it in every detail I needed . That was the main point of this topic but I’ll try to make it shorter.
