I recently had an employee who joined my team without having the need to go through the many rounds of interview that a normal job applicant to my company would need to go through.

For context, the company which I am working at is one of the more prestigious bank in the world and it is quite hard to get a job here.

Got in through her father’s connections with some higher ups in the bank

This new employee, lets call her G to make it easier, has a father who is also in the banking industry for a decade or so.

He has made a name for himself and has connections with a lot of higher ups in a lot of banks.

So naturally when G wanted to enter the banking industry, her father tried to pave a way for her by asking one of our higher ups if he could arrange for a position for G.

Always late for work and always ask for WFH

The first day G was supposed to report for work, she was already late by over an hour.

You could smell from her clothes that she had been to a club as the smoke smell was still very pungent.

She was apologetic when she arrived late and had a good attitude which I was pleased with so I ignored the fact that she was late and tried to get her settled down.

It was also probably because she was introduced into the position by one of the higher ups which was why I did not dare to go so hard on her.

However, I quickly became frustrated with her.

She was always late for work by an hour or two, and she always asked to work from home because she did not want to come to the office.

She would also constantly take long toilet and lunch breaks and would always be on her phone chatting with people and playing Mobile Legends.

This made me couldn’t help but think that she only got the job because of her father’s connections with a higher up in the bank.

Decided to talk to her to try to help her improve

One day, I decided to confront her about her lack of punctuality. I asked her why she was always late and why she always wanted to work from home.

She gave excuses like her house is very far from the office and it always jams on the way to the office.

She also always uses her father’s and the higher up in the bank’s name as an excuse.

She would say that she went drinking with her dad and the bank higher up which was why sometimes she cannot wake up on time.

I was speechless but I told her that I understood, but that I still expected her to be on time and to be present at the office.

Ignored my advice

Unfortunately, my words had little effect on G. She continued to be late and to ask to work from home, sometimes not even informing me about wanting to work from home.

I would only find out about it when the higher up in the bank gave me a WhatsApp message to let me know that her father told him that her daughter had to work from home that day for a particular reason.

Eventually, word about her behaviour and attitude spread throughout the bank’s office and it soon reached the ears of the higher up.

He addressed us to stop spreading the rumours and said that he would speak to G and her dad to see what can be done.

We never ever saw G after that day.

I was out with my friends at a pub at Prinsep Street, excited to have a few drinks and let loose. But what I didn’t expect was to be hit on by a fat ang mo woman while I was drunk.

It all started when I decided to get up and go to the bar to order some drinks. I was feeling a bit tipsy from the few drinks I’d already had and was feeling like death.

Fat Ang Mo woman tried to hit on me

As I reached the bar, I noticed a woman sitting alone and looking my way.

At first, I thought nothing of it. I figured she was just admiring my style or something, so I just smiled and ordered my drinks.

But then, she started talking to me. She asked me what I was drinking and if I wanted to buy her a drink.

I was taken aback and a bit confused. I didn’t really know how to respond and I certainly wasn’t expecting this to happen. She was a fat Caucasian woman, and she was clearly older than me and out of my age range.

I politely declined her offer and said I had to get back to my friends. She kept pushing, though, and asked me to sit with her for a while. I was starting to feel a bit uncomfortable and told her I had to go.

She seemed a bit taken aback but accepted my answer and said goodbye.

Came over with a jug of beer and gave me a lap dance

However when I thought that it was over, she walked over with a jug of beer and tried to talk to my friends and I.

It was clear that I was her target as her eyes were on me the whole time even while drinking with my friends.

As the beat of the music went up and the atmosphere became more lively, the fat Ang mo who was clearly drunk already started to move towards me and started to dance and brush against me.

She then angled her bottom towards my pelvic area and started to give me a lap dance.

I was disgusted by it and tried to push her away, but she was too huge for me to do so.

I sat there helplessly as my friends were all laughing hysterically and making fun of me.

After the lap dance was done, the ang mo woman told me that she was staying at a hotel nearby and asked me if I wanted to go back with her which I said yes just to get her off my back.

Ran away as fast as I could

As I walked out of the bar with her, I ran as fast as I could in the opposite direction from where her hotel was to get away from her.

I finally shook her off after running a little and got a taxi home.

It was a night I would never forget.

I remember the day like it was yesterday – I was at the mall with my then-boyfriend, and he asked me if I wanted something to eat.

I said yes, but he said he was out of money. I was frustrated and embarrassed, but at the same time, I knew that I had to move on.

That was the day that I realized that getting a boyfriend was a lot like getting a “free buffet” at all restaurants. As long as I had a boyfriend, I could always get something to eat without having to worry about paying for it myself!

Now, I know what you’re thinking – some might say I am shallow. And I admit that I am. But I am also reaping all the benefits of making men pay for me.

For starters, I don’t have to worry about having enough money for food every day. I always have someone else paying for me, so I don’t have to worry about whether or not I can afford my meals. My current boyfriend always takes care of me when it comes to meals, and I never have to worry about being left with nothing to eat.

Another benefit of having a man take care of me is that I don’t have to worry about what I am eating. I can always trust that my boyfriend will make sure I am eating something healthy and nutritious. Plus, I get to enjoy different cuisines and foods, which I would never be able to do if I had to pay for them myself.

Finally, having a boyfriend also means that I get to enjoy the company of someone else when I am eating. I don’t have to eat alone and I get to share conversations and laughter with my boyfriend while we enjoy our meals. It’s a great way to bond and strengthen our relationship.

So, yes, I admit that I am shallow for wanting someone to pay for my meals. But I also think that it’s a great way to enjoy food and build relationships. I no longer have to worry about not having enough money for food and I get to enjoy different cuisines and meals, all while having someone to share them with.

I think that getting a boyfriend is a lot like getting a “free buffet” to all restaurants. After my previous boyfriend ran out of money, I moved on and found another guy. And I am reaping all the benefits of making him pay for me.

I’ve been noticing some strange behaviour among my female classmates lately that I just can’t ignore.

It all started when I heard a rumour that some of my female classmates had been cheating male classmates. They were inviting these boys on what they thought were “dates,” but it turns out the girls were actually taking them to multi-level marketing (MLM) companies.

At first, I didn’t believe it, but it wasn’t long before I started seeing it firsthand. I’d see girls from my school inviting boys from our classes out to dinner or a movie, only to take them somewhere else. I also heard rumours that the boys were being asked to invest in MLM companies.

At first I was shocked, but then I started to think about it more. I realized that my female classmates were taking advantage of the boys in a really terrible way. Not only were they misleading them, but they were also using them to make money.

I started to think about why my female classmates were doing this. After some investigation, I realized that they were attracted to the idea of making money quickly. MLM companies often promise large returns in a short period of time, and my female classmates were taking advantage of this.

It was heartbreaking to see my classmates being taken advantage of in such a way. I wanted to do something to help, but I wasn’t sure what to do. I decided to talk to some of the boys who had been taken in by the girls, and I was surprised to hear that many of them had no idea what was going on.

After talking to the boys, I decided to talk to the girls and try to convince them to stop this behaviour. I told them that it was wrong to take advantage of the boys in this way and that they should find another way to make money.

At first, the girls were resistant, but eventually, they started to see my point. Many of them even agreed to stop this behaviour and find a more ethical way to make money but most of them continued cheating.

Although the situation with my female classmates was upsetting, it was also a learning experience for me. It taught me the importance of standing up for what is right and not allowing others to be taken advantage of. I also learned that it is important to be aware of unethical behavior and to take action if we see it.

I was looking for a job and found a posting for an administrative assistant at a local business.

I was excited to apply and thought I had a good chance of getting the position. After sending in my resume, I received a call for an interview. I was elated and immediately started to plan my look for the big day.

I wanted to look professional and put together, so I decided to wear a navy blue skirt that came down to my knees.

On the day of the interview, I arrived at the office with my best foot forward, dressed in my navy skirt, a white blouse and a pair of black pumps. I felt confident and was ready to impress the interviewer. As soon as I walked into the office, I was greeted by an older gentleman.

He looked me up and down and immediately commented on my skirt.

He said, “That skirt is far too long. We prefer our employees to wear mini skirts.”

I was completely taken aback by his words. I had never experienced anything like this before and was completely shocked that he would say something so inappropriate. I was so embarrassed and could feel my cheeks burning. I didn’t know what to say and I was starting to realize that this might not be the job for me.

I tried to remain professional and not let my emotions show. I simply said, “I’m sorry, I thought this skirt was appropriate for an interview.” He just smiled and said, “Well, you should know that we prefer our employees to wear mini skirts.” I couldn’t believe my ears. I wanted to scream and tell him that he was a pervert and had no business interviewing me.

I was so angry and embarrassed, I wanted to just walk out of the office and never look back. However, I knew that this would not be the best course of action and that I should try to remain professional. So, I gathered my composure and simply thanked him for his time and said that I would think about his comments.

Thankfully, I never heard from him again and I was able to find a different job at a much more reputable company. Looking back, I realize that I was lucky to escape a potentially dangerous situation. I was also lucky that I was able to remain professional despite my embarrassment and anger.

It was a few years ago when I first met my girlfriend. I was immediately smitten by her charming personality and good looks. She seemed to have a good head on her shoulders and I thought that I had finally found the one.

Little did I know, beneath her seemingly perfect exterior was a controlling and possessive nature.

At first, it was a little subtle. She would always want to know where I was and who I was with. If I wanted to hang out with friends, she would expect me to call her and check in with her constantly. But I was in love and I wanted to make her happy, so I didn’t think too much of it and I just complied.

But as time went on, her controlling behavior got worse and worse. She didn’t want me to go out with my friends at all. She wanted me to stay home with her all the time. She wouldn’t let me do anything without her permission. Even when I had to go to work, she would call and text me multiple times to make sure I was where I said I was.

I started to feel like I was in jail. I felt like I had no freedom or autonomy. I was so frustrated and angry but I didn’t know how to express it without getting into an argument. I tried to talk to her about it but she would just get defensive and accuse me of not loving her enough. I felt like I was walking on eggshells around her and I just couldn’t take it anymore.

After several arguments, I finally decided that I had to leave her. I was tired of being controlled and I wanted to be free. I tried to explain to her that her behavior was unhealthy and not fair to me, but she just wouldn’t listen. So I had no choice but to break up with her.

It was a difficult decision, but it was the right one. I needed to be in a healthy relationship where I could be my own person and have some freedom. I had to learn to stand up for myself and not let anyone take advantage of me. I was relieved to be out of that situation, but it was still hard to let go of someone I had cared about for so long.

Breaking up with my over-controlling girlfriend was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. But looking back, I’m glad I did it. It taught me a valuable lesson about relationships and how to set boundaries. Now I know that I don’t have to tolerate anyone’s disrespectful behavior, and I’m much happier for it.

I was really looking forward to celebrating Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend this year.

We had been together for over a year and I was excited about a romantic evening out. We had been planning it for weeks, arranging our time off from work, making reservations, and picking out the perfect outfits.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

5 days before Valentine’s Day, my boyfriend got called into work for an unexpected overtime shift. I was really disappointed, but I was also understanding. His job was important to him and I knew that he had to take it seriously.

But then he told me that he wasn’t going to be able to make it up to me. He said that he was too exhausted to do anything after his shift and that he just wanted to go home and rest. I was hurt and frustrated by his lack of consideration.

I tried to explain to him that this was an important day for me and that I had been looking forward to it for weeks. But he just rolled his eyes and said that it was just another day. It felt like he didn’t care at all.

I felt so rejected and unimportant. I wanted to spend the day with him and I felt like he was choosing his job over me. I wanted to make him understand how I was feeling, but he just kept insisting that it wasn’t a big deal.

I didn’t want to make a scene, so I just said that it was fine and that I would go out with my friends instead. He said that was a good idea and then just left for work without saying goodbye.

I was really upset and I felt like my feelings didn’t matter to him. I thought that he would make an effort to make it up to me, but he didn’t even apologize. I was so angry and frustrated that I couldn’t even bring myself to talk to him.

I spent the whole day alone, feeling like my boyfriend didn’t care about me or our relationship. I wanted to talk to him about it, but I knew that it would just end in an argument. So I decided to just let it go and try to forget about it.

But I couldn’t get over how much he had hurt me. I was so angry and disappointed that he had chosen work over me. I felt like I was never going to be able to trust him or feel secure in our relationship again.

But I was still unhappy, by then all my friends had already posted on their instagram.
