“Passion no longer a passion” - that’s so real. I think sometimes after we enter an industry then we realise truths about it that really suck. Not realistic to see myself in that industry for next 5, 10, 40 years. Thanks for this!!
I can relate to Fauzi in terms of career pursuits ☺️ Never be afraid or feel lack thereof to pursue something new, even if it isn't directly what you studied.
haha confession 2 is probably in a government sector so really difficult to sack unless it is something very serious that goes against the ethos of civil servant.
Oof confession 3 and 4 were very relatable, losing your passion and feeling burned out from work hits hard to home hehexD But listening to Fauzi's and Brenda's personal sharings and advice really helped me out and gave me a clearer perspective!! All the best to confession 1,2,3&4 people in your situations and thanks Zula for this sincere and honest episode!!🙌🏻
If I am x I am some influencial person and if people reject my favour I will feel offended and think who u are to reject it, for some small businesses hr will also side bosses, no use sometimes for those useless people bosses like them and is ok for them to be useless, sometimes If quit then sitting at home will also have anxiety , but work till 10 pm is really too much, hope to get a new job next year
I think what's not mentioned enough, especially regarding burnt out or being really stressed out, is that it's okay if you don't feel competent or you can't keep up with your workload. It's important to think in a perspective that it's your boss who hired you, your capacity is part of the package. The ultimate goal of hiring people is to achieve a certain goal/ complete a certain project. If it turns out that you have to push yourself so hard to keep up with deadlines, then maybe it's a good time to reevaluate the project plan and timeline. One example: In my workplace, it's a recurring theme that we have a lot of overpromising/undermanned projects because of shitty boss. I am not sure if this has been brought up to the management before, but I always take a stance that, this is my professional educated opinion of what timeline is plausible, what options there is. Either to push back deadline or to expand my team. It's up to the management to make the decision, not your job to compensate for their mistake. Just remember that you are the professional here, you give your opinions and the bosses make the call (and also deal with the consequences of their decision).
If u like a guy he is a suitor but if u dont like the guy but he insists & he is a harasser regardless even if he is your boss..every one has the right to work in a conducive environment & it is not fair if a woman needs to resign just because she is harassed by her boss..and the boss should know that money & status cannot buy love & they cannot force or bully women into liking & accepting them especially if the feelings are not mutual..please, do not use power to force anyone because like Spiderman says 'with great power comes great responsibility!' do not let women lose their respect for such men who like to abuse their power to attain the affections of the woman their interested in..we women just want to go to work, earn a living & go home..when such men insist on going after a woman even after she has clearly shown that she is not interested then that guy is really really very selfish & egoistic..they should never think that they can get away with such acts of harassment..they need to stop..the workplace is a place to work, not to find yr soulmate & it is definitely not a place for any matchmaking & such..if a woman is single just let her be..they dont need to be paired off especially not with their own colleagues or even worst their own boss..I think professionalism should be the rule not the exception..
I feel like for guys it’s so tough.. cause we expect them to pursue and make the first move but we don’t give them a chance to be persistent and ‘pursue’. I married my persistent husband who chased me for 6months and I’m the happiest ever. Sometimes.. just give the guys a chance lol
Good looks won't let u get away with underperforming at work, but the ability to bs and act in front of management does. It's the opposite for pretty people, constant needing to prove that you are good at it just because you're attractive.
at 21:26 when brenda misses out on the key difference (i dont blame her) and at 21:53 when fauzi catches the very key difference, my respect for him skyrockets. it shows his empathy and maturity to be able to recognise these key things despite not being one of us (recent graduate in COVID era). and later on when he says OT-ing to 10pm is (in summary) about framing it as self-learning - absolutely correct. it is really normal for most of my peers (fintech, startups, consulting) to just be OT-ing every day at the start to try and get up to speed, but dont go around telling people you "OT". it should be framed in your mind as "catching up". it can be incredibly mentally taxing if youre just consuming pdfs after pdfs, stuck in github all by yourself all day or just pummelling through excel sheets and not having social interaction. but to push through, you have to frame it as "self-learning" and "self-improvement" rather than "OT".
That is why mental health is dropping in the ship loads in the industry, learning out of interest or genuine getting up to speed is right, calling OT as self learning is just toxic..
I think for first question, we should gather from guys, like what's a good way to let a guy know that a girl is not interested? Edit: If can like get answers directly CEOs, managers,bosses even better....
Hi Fauzi, how did u manage to learn videography and video editing on your own? I wish to learn new skillset outside of work while still working and earning a living.
There are tons of youtube tutorial to learn video editing. If you want more of a step by step guidance, can consider those learning center covered by skills future credit
Uhh I'm extremely surprised Brenda spoke so candidly and disparagingly about her Zula ex-colleague in this manner. It strikes me as extremely unprofessional. Word does go around, after all, and based on contextual info, I can very well find out who it is. Furthermore, this is only one side of the story. That person cannot defend themselves here, lest they risk outing themselves. If you want to bitch about an ex-coworker, be as generic as possible, never mention any kind of details, even things like gender, unless you want to serve an invitation to the person to debate you publicly, which then makes it a spectacle. But anyway not my pasal. Just some friendly advice. Anyway I think our society is too quiet and afraid of confrontation. If someone is shitty at work, learn to open your mouths and talk about it so it is dealt with Some people are just oblivious and won't know if they're not told. Be kind and understanding, but be firm. And don't pick up after them, you're just coddling them and being an enabler. 2nd person is complaining about their coworker's intelligence and competence but they themselves lack the core communication skills in the workplace to address problems. That's why the manager said to work in a team. You're supposed to be able to find a way to learn how to navigate this situation. Before pointing fingers at others, try looking at your own self first? And see how everyone can come to a win win solution.

Thanks for this!!
So pointed and good advice... these two host have a very high level of EQ, and most crucially for dishing such advice, a high level of EMPATHY! ❤️❤️❤️
for #1, best to come up with a reason like not looking for relationship at the moment, focusing on job etc.
Can totally relate to the challenging situation to entering new company during covid situation where everyone works from home.
be who you are fauzi ☁️

How'd it go from "someone has a crush on me to" borderline sexual harassment tho
Because the person is not good looking.
😳fauzi..... Did he just come out?
Maybe he’s just sassy ?
@@tanjoy0205 sorry i don't think anyone will joke about it
Haha It never crosses my mind that he could be straight 😅😅
@@tanjoy0205 I thought he has gf
I thought he was always open about it?
i love these two as hosts. They give off really positive and genuine vibes. More Fauzi and Brenda duo please!
fact check: 33% of singaporeans graduate from university as of 2020!
cheers :)
I love Brenda's Laugh le
my dog
Yess I need more of both of them 😍
These topics are amazing. Thank you! Regards from Helsinki 😊
Brenda looks so pretty here!!
I feel like for guys it’s so tough.. cause we expect them to pursue and make the first move but we don’t give them a chance to be persistent and ‘pursue’. I married my persistent husband who chased me for 6months and I’m the happiest ever. Sometimes.. just give the guys a chance lol
I really love this content keep it going ^_^
was from ITE and waiting for SUSS jan intake 🤣
I feel so shiok during wfh, actually doesn’t matter if I meet ppl face to face or not, my colleagues very nice always reply my messages
Brenda hang out with fauzi so often that she pronounced colleague correctly 😂
Good looks won't let u get away with underperforming at work, but the ability to bs and act in front of management does. It's the opposite for pretty people, constant needing to prove that you are good at it just because you're attractive.
Mental health is priority, especially when you're not required to pay for the BTO immediately anyway.
I want to know who Brenda and Fauzi were referring to for confession #2 🤭
Who?
at 21:26 when brenda misses out on the key difference (i dont blame her) and at 21:53 when fauzi catches the very key difference, my respect for him skyrockets. it shows his empathy and maturity to be able to recognise these key things despite not being one of us (recent graduate in COVID era).
and later on when he says OT-ing to 10pm is (in summary) about framing it as self-learning - absolutely correct. it is really normal for most of my peers (fintech, startups, consulting) to just be OT-ing every day at the start to try and get up to speed, but dont go around telling people you "OT". it should be framed in your mind as "catching up". it can be incredibly mentally taxing if youre just consuming pdfs after pdfs, stuck in github all by yourself all day or just pummelling through excel sheets and not having social interaction. but to push through, you have to frame it as "self-learning" and "self-improvement" rather than "OT".

I think for first question, we should gather from guys, like what's a good way to let a guy know that a girl is not interested?
Edit: If can like get answers directly CEOs, managers,bosses even better....
feels bad to have all your NG posted :/
The guy looks familiar. I think I saw a video by him asking people on the streets on some topics
Hi Fauzi, how did u manage to learn videography and video editing on your own? I wish to learn new skillset outside of work while still working and earning a living.

@@Bernardjytan true... Will need to invest on equipments and softwares first
@@nitemoonz ya preferable a powerful desktop to speed up exporting the video and editing process

Is it just me or were they talking about Zina? 😂
oo i was trying to figure it out too
i was wondering who..
There is always a person that is so useless, only do the minimum. While the rest have to multitasks, we can't get ride of it due to HR laws.
8:12 anybody know who the person is?
Excuse not to go out with someone : got gonorrhoea 😘
BRENDAAAAAAAA lol
1:06 - 1:14. 🤣
