Thank you all for sharing! It was very brave for all to share their stories! On a side note, didnt know that TSL leadership were so bad...
organization should stop working with such lousy company. abuse internship model. School should also banned such organization.
I am in my early 30s, working for 10 years in retail as full time. Seldom have weekends rest. Now I am opting for part time job with weekend rest for 1 to 2 years. Don't let people decide on what you want to live. Live for yourself.
Never be serious about work, we are just contracted to work on the given task. When company wants to retrench, they wont consider how hard working or loyal you are. So if the company does not pay you adequately, toxic bosses and colleague, long hours. Move on. Likewise, if everything is comfortable for you, its worth staying, because you never know how lousy the next company could be.
Well said
Can relate 💯%, fortunately was not alone on this 😣
我新加坡人，四十九岁。在家躺平一年半了，开心啊。没房贷，离婚二十年了没孩子。自己的日子，自己开心过咯。😊
this is so inspirational, thanks for the english subs so i can also learn mandarin hahaha. also, im quitting in 9 months!!!! no shame
Next job is also a gamble, need some luck getting good job😃
I empathise with the teacher. Parents always question why this why that..
The young have to go thru this stage.!
Now I know why Brenda left....bad boss is always the issue...n most of the time these pple will be on management level as they lack empathy (not all but..majority)
Very fortunate bunch. I wish I could resign immediately too but having young kids to feed, have no choice but to bite the bullet…
Look for job and then resign
None of them in the video resigned immediately. They were looking for new opportunities when they realised they were very unhappy with their current roles. Don't let your responsibilities become your excuse to stay when you could do the same. You could give your kids a better life with a better job. Staying on will just make you bitter about life and everything that "could have been".
I saw myself hehe
HHAHAHAAHA you and brenda are best partners in crime!
