hi guys, I’m got a very bad cough. Not sure if it’s just me but usually my coughs go away in weeks. It usually doesn’t go away in say 1-2 days.

I’m new in my workplace (internal transfer) and I was told I’m put on probation so I don’t get to wfh until 6 months is over.

I fell sick earlier week, was given 1 day MC and then went back to work. I feel like some colleagues suan me cos I’m sick cos they are scared I’d spread to them, and as of today, another colleague applied for MC cos she has sore throat. Tbh it does sound like a couple of other colleagues have started coughing as well.

I’m not sure what to do in this situation. I do also wear a mask at work so I feel I can’t help that they still got infected anyway.

In my situation would you request to wfh (to stop infecting others)? I’m just not sure if it would be perceived negatively by bosses since they have said I’m not entitled to it during probation.

I lost my phone on a Tada ride. It has been 5 days but Tada is dismissive and just says that the driver cannot be contacted. I presume they are calling him once a day, only when I contact them. I have proof that the phone is with the driver as I was able to track the location of the device - it was last seen at jurong while I live in the east. Phone batt has died by now.

I have made a police report as well. Tada’s response is that they are not able to contact him hence nothing they can do about it unless the police contact them. Meanwhile, the driver is still active on the app and fetching passengers.

What can I do about it? Can I write to someone else to escalate this?

Hi guys, need some advice and help. I lost my phone on a Tada ride last Wednesday.

It is likely left on the car, because when I reached home, my Apple Watch shows that my iPhone isn’t within proximity. I tried to trigger the ringing sound, but it wasn’t within proximity hence there was no sound.

On my watch - I could also see that my phone was along Pan island expressway on 10 June. On 10 June itself, I didn’t go to pan island expressway, so it’s likely the phone was moving in the car. The last location it was at before the phone died is around jurong at someone’s landed house. I live in the east and definitely didn’t go to jurong the past few months.

I called Tada on the day itself, they said they would call the rider. Up till today (more than 48hours later), they emailed me to say they couldn’t reach the driver and told me to make a police report.

I just made a police report (I lost my phone right before catching a flight and just came back) and spoke to the IO.

Since my phone is lost, I also don’t have access to quite a few apps - banking payment apps etc, as some require the OTP to my lost phone. I’ve already locked my iPhone.

Tada doesn’t want to give me the driver’s details but can’t contact him. I’m not hopeful the police will do anything or prioritise this case either. What would you do in this situation?

Hi guys, my bf is a fresh grad. He graduated last year and found a job this year in architecture.

While we are happy he found a job, the conditions are not very ideal:

- he needs to work 6 days a week (sat is half day)

- he can’t wfh at all

- he lives at Pasir Ris and need to travel to woodlands 6 days a week, so he has to be up by 6, which honestly is a struggle for him. (This also means he’s not able to meet up with friends or me on weekdays at all, since he has to sleep early and wake up early)

- he’s being paid just $3.5k

It was the first offer that came so he took it, but now he has passed probation and am not sure if he should confirm it.

During the interview, he was told by HR that they do wfh on selected days and that their company has several branches around SG, but they ended up deploying him to one far away since the nearer one had no vacancy

The thing about the contract is that he needs to provide 2 months notice if he wishes to resign, and I’m thinking if he were to find a better offer, most companies might not want to wait that long for him to come over?

Need some help assessing if you guys would accept the offer? Or nego for higher pay, etc

Thanks!

Hi guys, wanted to ask whether u guys would typically cook your chicken breast (the frozen kinds that come from new multi, CP) before bringing it to office for lunch?

I usually airfry it if I wfh.

But since I’ve to wfo now, was wondering if I should air fry it before bringing it to work for lunch, and heat it up in the microwave?

Or is it okay to just bring it to work in its frozen state, and then microwave it for lunch

There’s no airfryer in my office pantry, just a toaster oven and a microwave.
