A student from a local university thinks that have a local university certificate would guarantee a “better” job. However, the student ended up having to beg from a friend that graduated from a private university to get a job in a big company. But he/she was ignored by the impudent behaviour.

Full Story:

Recently I found out a friend (we used to be close) landed a job at one of the companies in FAANG, and given she came from a Private U (S**) I was even surprised so we kind of chatted on insta as I wanted to know more of what she does or like how she managed to even get in.

I mean compared to me (I graduated from NUS) and my peers, I really just can’t helped but to wonder how a private U student was able to get in, I’m sure many would too. So anyway long story short, I asked if she could refer me but she sort of indirectly rejected that idea.

I was thinking is it because I graduated from a school better than hers, she selfishly rejected helping me assuming I could find a job since I’m from a local U?? I don’t understand why is it so hard to just refer a friend to the same company, everybody wins no?

And I have been looking for a job ever since I graduated and I really wanted to get into FAANG having applied several times and failed. Why is it so hard to refer a friend in?

I mean we used to be close even though we stopped talking since going to different U to study. I just don’t get the selfish mentality of some people, but you know thanks for letting me know who are the true friends..

Imagine getting lead on for a staycation with your girlfriend and not for just 1 night but 3 nights. All you get is blue blue balls.

Full Story:

I just came back from a staycation with my ex-girlfriend and man, it was the worst 3 days I spent with her. I thought of getting to know her more and hopefully rekindle our relationship as we are still close friends.

I brought card games so that things won’t be so boring and she just said it’s ok (with a very uninterested tone), before ignoring me coldly and used her phone and texted all day long makes me feel even more helpless and angry. Our interactions are quite limited throughout the 3 days and it was damn awkward so much so that I have thoughts of leaving her alone in the hotel not more than once.

I wanted to avoid the silence and awkwardness by asking her some questions, but I don’t know what to ask.As the bathroom do not have any curtains, and there is only 1 bathroom, so when she’s inside bathing, then if I want to use the toilet while she is inside right, she would refuse.

I thought of having the both of us having a hot and great shower together vanished no matter how much I plead and I am stuck outside the bathroom until she is done. We slept on 2 separate beds and I wanted to combine the 2 beds into 1 by pushing the beds together so that we can be closer.

However, any physical interactions (hand-holding, hugs etc) was refused by her and I am so tired by her.I cannot find much topics to chat with her and I am quite tired with how she treat me so coldly.

She is still very accommodating about stuff as she is fine with a lot of things, only physical stuff she minds a lot (no seeing of her nudes eg). I don’t know what she wants in our friendship to be frank.

Maybe it’s just me trying to fix things up on my part, but things would never be the same again. It’s like my idea of staycation that is supposed to be a sweet and excellent opportunity for us to know each other more very much different from reality.

If I knew things would turn out this way then I would not have book a staycation with her, which is a waste of my money.
