Going to Throw Letter Soon

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-job-99-secured.html The recruiter came back with the salary proposal, the confirmed salary is about 20.90% lesser than what I'm getting, still about S$350+ of what I'm expecting, which is still good albeit slightly lower, not an issue for me. I asked the recruiter when I should throw, he told me the only thing left is the G50 clearance, he will still proceed to send me the letter of offer by mid of next week since there is a long weekend, then told me to state that I will accept on the condition that the G50 is cleared and that my start date would be delayed due to the clearance so that I won't run the risk of throwing but G50 never clear. Today spoke with some colleagues, turns out I'm not the only one getting snapped at by this immediate supervisor, sounds like he is just going around being nasty to people, if he keeps this up, I think more people will throw letter, anyway soon to be not my problem anymore, now e

New Job 99% Secured

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/11/good-news-from-recruiter.html Today the recruiter called me to inform that he will proceed with the salary proposal, it's actually a pay cut of about 19.48% which I already told them that I'm fine with before we even started the interview so this part is not an issue, this reduced salary is actually still higher than what I expected by S$450+. They also have a 13th month bonus so I think it's still pretty good overall. I think the lower salary is justified because the scope of the new job is different but more systematic and specific, it even comes with training and mentorship. They are also using modern tools unlike my current company still using dinosaur technology, dinosaur mindset and non-value added implementations which creates more problems than solving problems. For my current job, pay is high, but with higher pay comes sky high expectations, to the extent of magical feats, like turning shit into gold, shit is shit

Good News from Recruiter

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/11/no-news-from-interview-yet.html Today the recruiter informed me that he got a really positive feedback from the hiring manager and I have been shortlisted for the position, see I knew it, feels good means come back good. And reason why it's just shortlisted is because they need to do some clearance, I think it's a government project so need G50 clearance, this part should be no problem since I've cleared many times already. His colleague emailed me to fill up some documents and to provide my pay slips and etc, by tomorrow I should be able to send back everything and then the company will issue a digital offer. All the best to me, getting closer to be able to throw letter lol, really looking forward to it sia, long time never so excited already.

Interview Went Well

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/10/confirmed-interview.html As expected, the interview went along smoothly, there were 3 interviewers, one guy is the GM, one is the deputy, another I think is a lead. Mainly is the GM asking questions, the other two guys didn't really asked much since the GM pretty much covered everything, whatever questions he threw at me, I answered smoothly ;) I think the job is 90% secured, just left the HR to call me about the package, I get the exact same positive vibes as the "Interview 1" from last year . Nice, feels really good about this, been a long time since I felt this rush of excitement, tbh I've been dead inside after rejoining my company last year, a word of advise again, what made you leave in the first place will still make you leave again.

Watch Out for Gaslighter at Workplace

Recently at work I keep getting blamed for getting things wrong even though I'm pretty sure I did my homework and exercised due diligence, to the point I don't even dare to say or do too much, now everything I just okok and follow instruction to the letter, but even so also will be blamed lol wtf, it's like go left die, go right also die, don't move still die, really smlj, how to work like that. Turns out there is actually a term for this nonsense, welcome to Gaslighting. https://www.betterup.com/blog/gaslighting-at-work So what is gaslighting? At its core, gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation. The gaslighter (the person doing the gaslighting) manipulates the gaslightee (the person being gaslighted) in a way that forces them to question their own version of events and even their own sanity. Gaslighting also happens in the workplace. For example, a boss who says they don’t remember you submitting a deliverable, even though you handed it to them a few hours

Confirmed Interview

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2023/10/looking-out-for-new-job.html Today got one recruiter called me, not those pure recruiter firms, this guy is actually the recruiter of his company which is an MNC, had a chat, went pretty well, he told me that my profile seems to fit what he was looking for, asked a bunch of question, then he said he will forward my profile to his hiring manager. I had a good feeling about this, this kind of thing when you talk you will know whether it is a good match or not. And not too long after the call, his colleague sent a virtual interview invite, damn that was fast, next week interview, hopefully can get it and throw letter lol. My company really getting from bad to worse, a lot of people throw letter already, then today my immediate supervisor flare up at me for no good reason, if it is truly my fault I nothing to complain, but today one is not my mistake, I simply takeover someone's shit but the expectation is for me to perform magic, wel

Looking Out for New Job

https://marrythaigirlsingapore.blogspot.com/2022/07/monday-sign-letter-of-offer.html So it has been slightly more than a year since rejoining my company, thought I should give an update. I want to give a very important word of advise, if you want to rejoin your company, think very carefully, the reason(s) that made you leave in the first place most likely will not go away, unless it's a people problem, for example a particular supervisor keep finding fault with you, then after that the boss call you to rejoin and told you this annoying guy no longer around, this actually happened to me in an earlier position, I went back and worked for a solid 8+ years. This time round, not a people problem, it's a gross lack of fulfilment, I find the things I do very meaningless, it's always cleaning somebody's shit, so bloody frustrating, now I know why my boss asked me to rejoin, because most of the projects burning or in a big pile of mess, not enough people to clear shit, feels lik

How to Marry a Thai in Singapore

You should refer to here -  https://www.rom.gov.sg/reg_info/rom_marriage.asp Please spend some time to go through and understand the information on that section (legal provision, other information, filing of notice, solemnization and etc), if your still not sure, feel free to drop a comment here or you can use their FAQ . The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
