Good morning. Tuesday is wfh day.

i having telcon 9am.. not gg to make it to office in time

 

[Dusky01]

sorry lor.. is every year increase for me... and i already suffering from the big jump at age 41 previously

U complain.. can you imagine my bill and HS bill

 

[TerryPower]

I'm thinking of taking a break from work. But I'm comfortable with my role and workplace since I get to do bare minimum and receive decent salary*.

I would like to ask my manager to allow me to take 6 weeks of leave, combined with my final reservist so that I can take a 2 months rest. Also, I will request they remove my email temporarily from all email groups.

Is this a good idea? This is also my first time making such requests and I've always been replying emails and doing simple tasks whenever I'm out of office.

This time I want to really have a real rest. Last I had it was after my final exam during uni and before my first day at work.

I'm 37 this year and had been working in my first job for almost 12 years.

* Decent salary for BBFA who don't have expensive hobbies and don't...

yes can imagine very clearly

HS / Dusky - 1 million - 10,000 insurance bill = 1 million.

Good morning people.

They want to break away, that’s their internal matter, not ours.

The issue is, they always like to attack others or countries that support the One-China policy. But politically speaking, most countries have no choice but to acknowledge it if they want to maintain diplomatic or trade relations with China.

With Singapore, you will often see brainless comments saying things like “坡省” or claiming Singapore should belong to China which makes zero sense. When people correct them and point out that Singapore was ousted from the Malaya Federation, they will twist history to fit their own narrative.

Now it’s pretty obvious how toxic some of these Taiwanese keyboard warriors are. They can’t handle facts, only emotions.
