I know Thomas from the app I wrote about yesterday. And this is an amazing story that he told me. At 44, with a BMI dangerously at 45.0, his weight peaked at 151kg. “My obesity ruined my life,” he said to me. His wife divorced him. He became an alcoholic. He refused to go out … Read more

The other day I received another poor feedback from a candidate about our recruiters. I have been in this business for 18 years. Across the globe, across industries, across organizations, especially agencies, you will always hear about the poor candidate experience with recruiters.

Interview him first, then only judge if he’s too old.” … Today, … Read more

In a span of one month, I was called an asshole 3 times. But this is what I want to say. There was this time I was shopping at NSK. While queueing for my turn to pay, I saw the cashier kept rubbing his eyes. I quickly ran to the pharmacy, bought Eye Mo, and … Read more

In company functions, we have always served beef for gazillion years. Then one day, an employee wrote a comment in a feedback form how disrespectful the company is towards Hindus. She said, “I don’t see the company served pork in any function also.” We have stopped serving beef since. Bimbo

“It is our Vasakhi celebration this week,” a friend told me today why she couldn’t attend an important meeting organized by the company. Yes, it’s true they are a minority. Just  around approximately 90,000 Punjabis in Malaysia (according to google). But still. We need to be considerate. #JustSaying Bimbo

I know this recruiter. She often bitched about how candidates ghost her. Didn’t answer her text. Didn’t answer her call. No manners she said them. Then when she was looking for a job, I spoke to her about an offer. Texted her, no answer. Called her, no answer. No news, no sound. Hmph.
