I asked my 11-year-old niece today, “What advice would you give an adult who isn’t happy with their job?” She said, “Leave the job and find a job he loves.” She is not wrong. Though as an adult, I’d tweak her answer to make it more practical: Find a job you love first, then leave … Read more

I’m sure many of us have felt it before. The late nights… the extra tasks… the “Can you just help me with this? Sekejap je…” that turn into hours of unpaid labour.
