Semalam, saya post gambar langit yang tak berbulan di IG story saya. Saya ingin tahu adakah follower saya berminat untuk mendengar kisah-kisah dramatik saya sebagai seorang pemimpin muda, terutamanya kesilapan-kesilapan yang pernah saya lakukan 🐽 Tak sangka, banyak sangat ♥️ yang saya terima!

Over the weekend, I was told that a renowned public-listed company decided to introduce a clause in their new employment contract: “If you accept this offer, you agree that if you become pregnant during the first year of service, you will not be entitled to any paid maternity allowance.” Like, seriously… While there’s no law … Read more

I reply “Noted” in my emails when I don’t actually plan to do anything about it. Network is down? I can’t do much… oh wait! Yays!! When the boss says, “We need to talk,” I suddenly forget how to breathe. A friendly reminder, is anything but friendly. When the boss says “We’re like a family … Read more

Screamed at by my manager in public for a mistake that I have made without proper training. Asked to perform overtime after hours, on my off days, rest days and even public holidays without extra pay.
