BOSS FROM HELL HIRES 4TH ASSISTANT IN JUST 10 MONTHS, ALL QUIT BECAUSE SHE’S THE DEVIL

In a job for all of 6 weeks — These people are looking for a submissive genius unicorn.

I’m an executive assistant and board liaison. I am person number 4 so far this year in terms of turnover. 15 years of relevant experience and well educated.

There is no formal training in this role. The director answers every question with “you should know that.” And has called me a liar.

When I said Teams (the program we use to communicate across the company) is down and I can’t send something out immediately, she told me I lack accountability, am lazy, and that at week 4 I was no longer new and could no longer use that as an excuse.

Her response to me saying look we need to work together so I will gladly do what it takes to communicate effectively (I’m paraphrasing) was “you’re not doing me a favor, this is your job.” That’s enough for background.

Organizing board meetings is tedious in general but the way they do it here is ridiculous. They’re extremely high strung.

They put a date out there, want you to organize everything at “lightning speed” (their words) — For the date and details to change a literal 4 to 5 times before the event even happens. Why the pretend urgency?

The executive didn’t want to hear anything I said — said I was being combative for literally trying to speak.

Her response was that she didn’t do drama and just needed the work to get done, and that I was expected to dig for information.

Which while valid, isn’t how you manage people. She said “You’re going to have to leave (the role)” and I said “okay” and her response was “Let us wait a few days and we’ll reassess” Like, what?

Not everyone responds well to being spoken to like that. And 6 weeks is not nearly enough time especially if what we’re doing is done quarterly.

Half a year to a year in a new role is normal. If what we’re doing is so sensitive, maybe don’t have a new person involved?

I’ve been a top performer on every team I’ve ever been on so I’m really struggling here. I regret leaving my previous role (as a contractor for really great people) but didn’t have benefits.

I’m trying not to beat myself up. This sh-t right here is why people “don’t want to work anymore”

ANG MOH IN S’PORE ASKS WHY PEOPLE KEEP STARING AT HER, IS IT NORMAL IN S’PORE

s it considered rude to stare in Singapore and other parts of South East Asia?

I’m a 28 year old exchange student with caucasian background that has been living in Singapore for two and a half months now and so far I’ve been loving my experience here.

However, there are a couple things that do make me uncomfortable, and one of them is being stared at.

I often get stared at a lot here in public and I thought it may just be because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, which makes me stand out, but many of my exchange student friends experience this as well, some of which also have mixed Asian backgrounds as well.

We thought it may just be something that happens here in Singapore, but when travelling in Malaysia and then in India, the staring only got more intense.

Is staring socially acceptable here in Singapore and other parts of Asia? At first I thought it was an element of curiosity, yet myself and my friends seem to be met with a stand-offish demeanour or sometimes rudeness if we have tried to talk or interact to many Singaporeans in general, which makes it hard to get to know people here, which sometimes makes us think people here might not be as open to getting to know foreigners.

Is this true or can anyone shed some light on something we might be missing here?

Netizens’ comments

  1. We don’t talk to strangers in general. The “offstandish” attitude you receive is probably because we find it weird that a stranger is chatting us up. Staring, depends. Not everyone stares but some do.
  2. I think you need to separate your experiences.
    Part 1: being stared at.
    – I do think it is out of curiosity or that you’re good looking. You’re gonna get stared at a lot, especially if you’re going to less touristy areas in SEA because locals there may not have much exposure to foreigners.
    Part 2: been met with rudeness when interacting with people
    – I think Asian people generally keep to themselves so they might be caught off-guard when you suddenly initiate a conversation.
    – Language barrier may also be a factor. If they don’t understand you, they might try to escape from the situation by ignoring you/walking away hahaha.
    – it also depends on what you’re talking to them about. If you just randomly approach someone off the streets to ask them about their lives, you might have been the rude one.

EMPLOYEES SENT DEATH THREATS TO EACH OTHER BECAUSE OF FIGHT OVER CARTOONS

Are youth today just plain mentally ill?

I’m pushing 30 but what is it today with Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

First got the axe murderer case, then got Pri 6 kids and younger ppl in my family that scroll TikTok 3 hours throughout the whole weekend family lunch, then got a few people show up at internship interview talking about undiagnosed PTSD, anxiety and gender dysphoria.

Now I kena arrow to be mediator because two of my colleague interns sent each other death threats because of dispute between One Piece and Scooby Doo fandom. I “different race so neutral mah.”

Netizens’ comments

  1. So which is better, One Piece or Scooby Doo? I need the answer.
  2. It’s partly also thanks to our gen that they became this way. They’re raised by parents who are in their thirties and forties now. So maybe consider the issues behind why our gen are passing down such things to kids that turned out to be like this….
  3. My theory is alot of these kids grew up basically orphans. In other mammals we see if we remove older members from the group and leave only youngsters they become more aggresive and leas sociable.
  4. Funny that 30 years ago, the 30 and 40 year olds were feeling the same way to the youth in the 90s. Every generation will say the youth of their day are worse than theirs.
    • (OP) In your 20s did you threaten to beat up your coworker and vandalise his door because you liked a different cartoon show?
  5. Dunno if it’s higher awareness, or their brains just more fragile.
  6. Every generation, cost of living gets more expensive, parents working longer hours and less time to spend on raising children.
  7. When you expected to slay Everyday be this and that while dealing with the higher up problems, higher cost, even more problematic people

MAN SAYS BEING POOR TAKES UP A LOT OF TIME, MUST KEEP WALKING AROUND TO FIND CHEAP THINGS

MAN SAYS BEING POOR TAKES UP A LOT OF TIME, MUST KEEP WALKING AROUND TO FIND CHEAP THINGS

Being poor takes up so much time. I don’t know how else to quite word this. My wife and I recently had this conversation just a day ago.

I was just venting a bit about how when you have a lack of money, you have to spend so much time researching and strategizing about how to ‘stretch a dollar’.

Looking up on forums like this one for hacks, tips, and whatsnot. Looking up coupons here and there. Walking around town to because a particular item(s) are a few cents cheaper at different locations…just a few examples.

It’s like, I’ve found myself having buyer’s remorse while I’m in line at Valudollar, wondering if I’m making the right purchases at the right time, despite the fact what I have is just a handful of necessary items.

On a better note, I also found quite a few toiletries marked down to just $1 the other day, and I was so excited.

I see some of my friends always going out, taking really cool trips, and yet, this is the poorest I’ve ever been.

Hoping that all of this will be a bit better next year, but sometimes I doubt that too. But, I digress.

I know that even rich people sit down and track their spending; they have to be smart with their money too, after all.

That said, it would be nice to have enough and just go into the store and do some regular shopping and not have that nagging feeling of “I wonder how tight things are gonna be after this?”

Netizens’ comments

  1. It is true that to save money you do have to spend time and mental energy. One approach is to simplify your life to a point that you have to make fewer spending decisions. For example, my breakfast and dinner(mostly two meals) are more or less the same everyday with a few tweaks. This makes it easier for me to shop and I have a good sense of where to buy what at good prices. This reduces my expense of mental energy on finding good deals.
    But yes, it would be nice to just walk in to a store and pick up whatever you need. In many ways, I have stopped buying a lot of stuff because things are so expensive these days, and honestly I don’t miss it.
  2. Being poor is so expensive
  3. I hear you. Sometimes I’d like to just buy a simple item without researching as if it’s a major purchase.

BF’S KKJ WAS SMALL LIKE SHRIMP, THEN 2 MONTHS LATER SUDDENLY BECOME BIGGER

My boyfriend’s private part grew… how?

So my (F23) bf (M28) was a little on the smaller side the first few times we’ve slept together. I never complained, he worked with it well.

It’s been about two months now, and it’s gotten noticeably longer. I’ve seen people say it’s not possible to grow your genitals?

He said he has been exercising the muscle or some shit like that. Theres a specific method he has been using. It seems like it’s working, but I just feel like this goes against everything I’ve read about sizes lol.

Has anyone ever actually done this or seen this happen?

Netizens’ comments

  1. Most of our hardness are 90-95%. You witnessing 100% full strength.
  2. Weight can affect your length indirectly. Basically there is less fat at the base which exposes more flesh. Solid reason to lose weight.
  3. There are pumps that are available in adult shops that help to make it bigger you know.
  4. Maybe he’s more comfortable with you in bed, increasing his confidence thus removing any mental blocks and allowing him to enter his final form? sometimes when I’m amped up i am noticeably bigger when I’m hard.
  5. Surprised no one seems to mention it, but I assume he is doing kegel exercises. If you do then for a while you can definitely get stronger hard ons, could be the the reason why he feels bigger (but just is more erect)
  6. I’m thinking it something else. I had a similar thing happen but it was because I was going to gym more often and running more.
  7. Longer but no thicker at all? If that’s the case he’s prob stretching it. If he stopped it would go away
  8. Whatever he’s doing love have him sell the method to others. He’ll be a billionaire overnight to be honest

12 ARRESTED IN POLICE OPERATION AGAINST SCAMS, ALLEGEDLY “SOLD” THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS

12 PERSONS ARRESTED FOR SUSPECTED INVOLVEMENT IN BANKING-RELATED MALWARE SCAM CASES

A total of 11 men and one woman, aged between 17 and 40, have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the recent spate of banking-related malware scam cases, following an island-wide anti-scam enforcement operation conducted between 9 and 20 October 2023.

Over the course of two weeks, officers from the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) and Police Intelligence Department (PID) mounted simultaneous island-wide operations and arrested 12 persons. Preliminary investigations revealed that the 11 men and one woman had allegedly facilitated the scam cases by relinquishing their bank accounts, Internet banking credentials and/or disclosing Singpass credentials for monetary gains.  

Since January 2023, the Police have received increasing number of reports of malware being used to compromise Android mobile devices, resulting in unauthorised transactions made from the victims’ bank accounts, even when they had not divulged their Internet banking credentials, One-Time-Passwords (OTPs) or Singpass credentials to anyone. In these cases, the victims responded to advertisements (e.g., on cleaning services, pet grooming, food items such as seafood and groceries, etc.) on social media platforms such as Facebook. They were then instructed by the scammers to download Android Package Kit (APK) from non-official app stores to facilitate the purchase, which led to malware being installed on their mobile devices. Subsequently, the scammers convinced the victims via phone calls or text messages to turn on accessibility services on their Android phones. This weakened the phones’ security, allowing scammers to take full control of the victims’ phones. As a result, the scammers could log every keystroke, steal banking credentials stored on the phones, remotely access victims’ banking apps, add money mules as payees, raise payment limits and transfer money to money mules. The scammers could further delete SMSes and email notifications of the bank transactions to cover their tracks.

Police investigations are ongoing. The offence of acquiring benefits from criminal conduct under Section 54(5)(a) of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act 1992, carries an imprisonment of up to 10 years, a fine of up to $500,000, or both. For deceiving the banks into opening bank accounts that were not meant for their own use and relinquishing their bank account login details, they are liable under Section 417 read with Section 109 of the Penal Code 1871 and Section 3(1) of the Computer Misuse Act 1993 respectively. The offence of cheating under Section 417 of the Penal Code 1871 carries an imprisonment term of up to three years, or with a fine, or both, while the offence under Section 3(1) of the Computer Misuse Act 1993 carries a fine of up to $5,000, or an imprisonment term of up to two years, or both. For disclosing their Singpass credentials under Section 8 of the Computer Misuse Act 1993, they are liable to an imprisonment term not exceeding three years, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.

Advisory Against Downloading of Malicious Apps

The Police would like to remind members of the public that they should not click on suspicious links, scan unknown QR codes, or download mobile apps from third-party websites or unknown sources. These unverified apps may contain malware, which can severely compromise the security of mobile devices. Instead, members of the public are reminded to only download apps from official app stores. Before downloading any app, check the number of downloads and user reviews. Always be wary of any requests for Singpass and banking credentials or money transfers and attractive offers that sound too good to be true. Lastly, members of the public are advised to turn on security settings, such as disallowing installation of apps from unknown sources, to help protect their devices.  

The Police will spare no effort to track down cybercriminals responsible for banking-related malware incidents and will continue to take tough enforcement actions against those who flout the law. To avoid being an accomplice in these crimes, members of the public should always reject seemingly attractive money-making opportunities promising fast and easy pay-outs for the use of their Singpass accounts, bank accounts, or for allowing their personal bank accounts to be used to receive and transfer money for others. The Police would like to remind members of the public that individuals will be held accountable if they are found to be linked to such crimes. 

For more information on scams, members of the public can visit www.scamalert.sg or call the Anti-Scam Helpline at 1800-722-6688. Anyone with information on such scams may call the Police Hotline at 1800-255-0000 or submit information online at www.police.gov.sg/iwitness. All information will be kept strictly confidential.

AUNTIE SEEN IN VIRAL VIDEO PICKING OUT BREAD FROM RUBBISH BIN TO EAT, NETIZENS HEART PAIN

In the age of social media, a single video can quickly spark widespread discussions and debates. Such was the case with a recent video that emerged on the Singapore Incidents Facebook page, showing a woman picking up discarded packaged bread from a green rubbish bin outside an HDB block.

The video has ignited a heated debate among netizens over the woman’s actions, with some netizens feeling sorry for the woman and others asking if it was hygienic to do so.

Rummaging through the bin for food

  • Financial Struggles and Sympathy:
    Some viewers sympathized with the woman, speculating that she might be facing financial difficulties and trying to survive by salvaging discarded bread.
    This perspective emphasizes the importance of understanding the possible reasons behind her actions and showing empathy.
  • Food Rescuer Perspective:
    There was a group of people who proposed that the woman might be a “food rescuer” who aims to reduce food waste.
    They argued that her actions could be part of a broader effort to share edible items with others or feed stray animals.
    They believe that reducing food waste should be a priority and that there is nothing inherently wrong with salvaging food from the trash.
  • Hygiene and Health Concerns:
    Some raised concerns about hygiene and the potential health risks associated with retrieving food from trash cans.
    They suggested that bakeries should consider alternative methods such as placing unsold bread outside the store for people to take or donating it to those in need, rather than simply discarding it.
  • Freeganism Perspective:
    Members of the local Freeganism movement highlighted that people should understand the reasons for why the woman did what she did.
    They pointed out that her actions shed light on the issue of edible food being wasted and encouraged support for initiatives that aim to donate unsold food to the needy.
  • Importance of Source and Caution:
    A food rescue volunteer emphasized the importance of knowing the source of discarded food. They mentioned being cautious about what’s in the trash because the origin of the food is often unknown.

S’PORE COUPLE PAID $3.3K FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, WHO LOST THEIR PHOTOS & WENT MIA

S’PORE COUPLE PAID $3.3K FOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER, WHO LOST THEIR PHOTOS & WENT MIA

The most cherished moments of our lives are often captured in photographs. Be it a wedding, a birthday, or a significant event, these snapshots serve as eternal reminders of the joy we experienced.

However, for Shi Hui and her husband, what was meant to be a beautiful memory turned into a nightmare. Their wedding photographer vanished, leaving them with no photos to remember their special day, according to a report by STOMP.

The couple shared about the incident on Instagram. It all began when Shi Hui and her husband discovered Alvin Yap of Mellow Pictures (which has since closed down) at a Blissful Brides event. They were drawn to his extensive portfolio and the promise of capturing their special day in a unique way.

They engaged Alvin Yap to document their wedding, which was scheduled for December 31, 2022. They wanted to bid farewell to 2022 with a celebration, surrounded by their loved ones.

Months after their wedding, there were no photographs to relive those cherished moments. The images that were meant to encapsulate their love and joy had vanished into thin air.

Alvin Yap informed the couple that their photos would be ready by March, nearly three months after the wedding. However, when they inquired again, they received devastating news.

His storage system had crashed, and their dinner photos were lost forever. There was no way to recover these precious memories. The couple was left in shock and disbelief.

Shi Hui and her husband contacted Alvin Yap multiple times, but he had seemingly disappeared. He ignored their messages and emails, leaving them in a state of distress.

The closure of Mellow Pictures seemed to leave the couple with no recourse. They had fully paid for their wedding photography, which included not only the photographs but also their evening gowns, tuxedo suits, and the emcee.

Yet, they had no memories to show for it. Even the keepsake box and promised prints remained elusive.

According to the information stated on the Mellow Picture’s website, the package that the couple presumably paid for costs about $3,290.

Here is what they said

Our Wedding Highlight of 31 Dec 2022

My all-time favorite pre-wedding photo – a memory we could have. Unfortunately, our photographer, Alvin Yap, mentioned he had a storage system crash. It’s been 10 long months, and Alvin has disappeared, ignoring our messages and emails.

Shockingly, he has yet to fulfill his end of the contract, even had the audacity to remind us not to owe money during CNY. We paid well ahead of time! Our evening gown and tuxedo suit photos, along with cherished moments with family and friends, vanished into thin air.

We are not ones to dwell on the past, but it’s time to shed light on this situation. Let’s ensure others don’t face a similar predicament. Share this post far and wide to warn fellow couples, family, and friends who are planning their special day. Together, we can prevent others from falling victim to such irresponsibility.

PS: Our friends and family urged us to warn other couples who are planning to get married or are planning to engage wedding photographer alvindicate @beinspiredbyalvin@alvinyap.allureweddings

We tried finding CASE, lawyer that MP @baeyyamkeng recommend but seems that we are at the losing end as his company has closed down. This was unexpected from a photographer which we trusted and gotten to know from Blissful Brides event for our big day. Please feel free to share with your loved ones and treasured friends

So sorry to ALL of our favourite family and friends who took the time and effort to participate on our supposed memorable once in a lifetime event, the memory will be etched in our hearts

TSINGTAO BEER WORKER PEES INSIDE MALT CONTAINER AT BREWERY, CAUGHT ON CCTV

TSINGTAO BEER WORKER PEES INSIDE MALT CONTAINER AT BREWERY, CAUGHT ON CCTV

In recent days, a troubling incident involving a Tsingtao Brewery worker has taken the Chinese social media landscape by storm.

A video allegedly showing a worker urinating into a container of raw materials has been widely circulated, raising concerns about food safety, brand reputation, and employee accountability.

The Allegation Unveiled

The controversy revolves around a video shared on October 20th, with Chinese news site Dawan News sharing a photo from the CCTV footage.

A man in blue overalls and a yellow hat was seen urinating into a container used for raw materials in the beer brewing process.

He then stood still for several seconds as he seemingly relieved himself. This unsettling footage quickly ignited a public outcry and triggered a series of events.

Chinese social media platforms have been inundated with discussions, debates, and reactions regarding this incident. The video quickly went viral, and netizens have been actively sharing their opinions and concerns.

Tsingtao’s Prompt Response

In response to the incident captured in the footage, Tsingtao Brewery issued a statement on the very same day, underscoring the gravity of the situation.

The brewery emphasized that this incident was of “great importance” and that they had reported it to the authorities immediately after becoming aware of it.

Authorities in Shandong province wasted no time in launching an investigation into the matter.

Containment Measures

One of the most critical aspects of Tsingtao Brewery’s response was their commitment to food safety. They announced that they have “completely sealed” the affected batch of malt, assuring customers that it would not be used in production. This containment measure aims to prevent any tainted products from reaching consumers.

The factory in question, however, reported challenges in identifying the worker due to the poor quality of the CCTV footage.

The Tsingtao Brewery worker controversy has brought several crucial issues to the forefront, including food safety, brand reputation, and crisis management.
