Going through it rn with an incompetent newly promoted boss. Wondering what would be the consequences if I ask for a team transfer or straight up quit?
I’ve been at this team for 5 years already and have worked well with other Managers.
Maybe I’m being a boomer, but when I was younger I remember people being more genuine, even if they were annoying af.
Why does everyone seem to be putting on a mask? Even at non-work settings
Ppl gave up taking LRT3 after 2 days ah?
Seems like nowadays it’s an expectation to stay and work past contracted hours, and poor planning from bosses is somehow your fault.
Just a Monday morning rant lol
Not naming any names here, but seriously how do so many cafes with ‘positive’ reviews here from influencers get away with mid food, with tiny portions.
And the prices my god. RM20+ for a slice of cake? RM20+ for a non-alcoholic drink?? RM30 for bland aglio olio???
Cmon bro
Just placed an order with TopBoxer for some boxing gloves.
Anyone have experience ordering online e.g. paying duties, import tax? Kinda worried it will be stuck in customs lol
My manager has a habit of assigning new tasks near EOD (literally like a few minutes before) and expecting them to be completed on the same day. These are not urgent business-critical issues or emergencies. In most cases, the work could realistically be completed by the end of the week without any impact. Unfortunately I can’t disclose too much because I know they lurk on reddit but I do know the timeline is unrealistic because other teams in our dept are given much more leeway for similar tasks by other managers.
What makes this difficult is that there seems to be an expectation that employees will stay late to accommodate these last-minute requests. If I don’t stay back to ensure completion, I’m often lectured about it afterwards. I’ve also heard of other team members being threatened with PIP for not meeting these kinds of deadlines, even when the work was assigned with very little notice.
This isn’t a one-off occurrence. It’s been a consistent pattern for a long time. Multiple team members have already raised feedback directly to the manager and even to their skip-level manager, but the behaviour hasn’t changed.
What should I do? I like this job but working with this manager is driving me insane.

Curious to know what happened to everyone involved lol
Genuinely they are so mf slow and they make morning rush hour worse.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought they were supposed to be transported via lorry.
Apparently TopBoxer does IMF custom gloves which I’m quite surprised by.
What’s the benefits of IMF as compared to multi-layered padding for gloves? Just curious because their Win1 is fantastic for sparring anyways.
Wondering how many people here box with backpain or chronic pain
Right now my knuckles are in the blue area but when I hit the bags with it, it makes more of a thud than a loud crack.
Should I make contact with the red one instead?
I’ll be having an interclub sparring sesh soon and I’ll most likely be sparring the former gym bully.
To ensure maximum safety and maturity, which gloves should I totally not use to give this person a comfortable experience?
Ideally should be not more than $150 USD
We always hear that fighters who rely heavily on athleticism, explosiveness and reflexes tend to age badly, especially in lighter divisions.
So what style tends to age the best instead?
Interestingly, I’ve also noticed quite a few Soviet-style guys seem to develop lower back issues at some point, like Bivol, Pirog and Usyk.
Curious what coaches and experienced boxers think. What styles/traits age well, and which fall off hardest with age and injuries?
Looking for an all-round training glove for hitting bags, padwork and light sparring.
Which one would you recommend? I would prefer 16oz Win1 but from what I know they use a sparring-only padding.
My friend recently got an offer from a pretty big China ecommerce company, I’m sure you’ve heard of the name before.
Won’t disclose role specific info so I don’t incriminate them. Just curious in terms of the overall work culture, and what life is like in those companies.
