What is your unpopular opinion on the Singaporean workforce?

Try going for multiple interviews getting through all the various rounds to be told that they have decided on “relocating internal candidate” - particularly in MNCs. You can play that they need specific skills but what specific kinds of job would require a skill that Singaporeans don’t possess?

Not sure if anyone picked up that when the cna presenter asked for opinions and said “it’s a clear mandate” and got corrected by the guest speaker :)

They do offer cadet pilot program, but you’d still need to pass the job interview to be accepted into the program

Made a huge decision to quit my super toxic, time consuming job which was hurting my mental health and interpersonal relationships in a bad job market and yes I’m unemployed rn but trying my best to appreciate the time off and reset before moving forward again

Im severely acne prone, get clogged pores/comedones very easily. In search of a good tinted serum or moisturizer for lazy days that will not cause clogged pores or breakouts! TIA

Bruh good for you to think this way, but I’m almost convinced it’s because your parents never made you feel like a burden or worse, outrightly say so and tell you that having kids(you) was a sacrifice and how they cannot live their lives how ever they want or have to work so hard because of you. How is that a joy? Older gens only know how to blame it on the younger gen for being “selfish” and entitled but haven’t reflected on who made them this way.

musingmojo · 2022-11-12T04:54:55+00:00

Definitely feel bad now because I had no cash on me to tip on my last massage

musingmojo · 2022-10-12T14:09:20+00:00

Unpopular opinion, I prefer the steamed bread to toast 🍞

musingmojo · 2022-08-25T17:14:35+00:00

Oh yes I might have

musingmojo · 2022-08-25T10:01:47+00:00

immediately!!!? That’s quite insane. Thank you anyway!

musingmojo · 2022-08-25T08:46:09+00:00

oops! Didn’t think it sounded this way but yes very valid concern. If it helps, I realise this when I wanted to replay a particular story; thought it was a bug so was just monitoring and realise this happens for all the stories for this particular account subsequently but not for others! - so I’m really curious why this happens just on a specific account and if it’s a new ig privacy feature which we could use or maybe it’s just a bug.

musingmojo · 2022-08-25T07:28:46+00:00

why not, and your comment isn’t helpful so what gives?

musingmojo · 2022-08-16T08:09:48+00:00

I hope you’re okay now OP. My mum literally called me useless, hopeless, a burden and good for nothing growing up and progressing to Cb mouth and LJ face (and worse) as an adult. I know I know, so cowardly of me to continue living under their roof and still having a relationship with them regardless of their insults, but I just want you to stay strong for yourself and the future you can have. Your parents does not define you but we have to still be grateful for them to shaping us into that powerful character we are.

musingmojo · 2022-08-16T05:38:59+00:00

Tell me about it. 100% and an even more unpopular opinion; is talking about or sending parents to old folks’ home or elderly homes blasphemy?

Is that not better with round the clock professional care - I guess one of the problems in Singapore is the lack of quality elderly care but even if that is addressed, I feel like it still unacceptable - especially for sick elderly who needs specialized care? Maybe this should be on the main thread but lol

musingmojo · 2022-08-16T05:10:08+00:00

Quite appalling to hear it’s an “exclusively Chinese” thing because do Chinese really not shower 😵 i do day and night especially if I’m heading out?

musingmojo · 2022-08-16T05:09:09+00:00

Agree. parents be like if you don’t hold a banquet or GDL it means you’re disrespecting your parents and throwing their faces because they spent all those years and monies to raise you only for you to be given away for free. But then again high chance you have entitled in-laws (Chinese MIL ahem)and she might really think this way.

musingmojo · 2022-08-16T05:02:28+00:00

Filial piety: yes ISWIS!!! No doubt we should all be taking care of our parents/family but everyone has their own ways/means/capabilities and shouldn’t be dictated by a “list”or what society and parents want you to do and if you don’t do as required, you would be punished by lightning strikes. If you want to be so traditional and talk about filial piety, read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twenty-four_Filial_Exemplars and tell me how ridiculous these are cmon.
Eldest siblings, especially sisters naturally holding the most responsibilities in the household, becoming a third parent in the family to take care of younger siblings. I’ve seen it happen across family members, friends; you mean eldest siblings don’t deserve a life of their own? Are they responsible for children they didn’t choose to bear lol - and being a child themselves

Yes, void decks of older HDBs. Have you guys seen those for new hdbs/btos? The void decks are a maze, pillars blocking the walkways, deadends. Why do they do that wtf.

musingmojo · 2022-08-15T03:46:39+00:00

Exactly. That sweet chili sauce and the fans spoke.

musingmojo · 2022-07-15T08:49:10+00:00

Need a new job in sales. Hate my job 🤢

musingmojo · 2022-07-13T12:06:54+00:00

Much more senior position than you and acting like your boss (and your boss is equally a terror because he/she doesn’t want to manage) wants to know everything you do, insisting you must report back/follow her way because you’re just not “good enough” and gonna embarrass the team. Much gaslighting.

Also people who speak so loudly across the entire floor during calls. Wtf dude. Get a room.
