Wrong job fit and bad boss
 
The worst combination ever. Really regretted accepting this job offer. Dying to get out of my job.

Accepted the job offer because I wanted to learn something new. Even took a pay cut. In the end, it was really admin work I'm doing while I used to do specialist work previously.

Suddenly, 2 months ago, my supervisor's attitute towards me changed overnight. I did ask whether if everything is ok, and she said everything is fine, but she picks on my work and take away all my projects that I was handling. She also left me out of team discussions. now I was like having nothing to do in the office. I don't think it's my performance cause like I said, she used to like me and there were no issues with work. Even my colleagues felt that she's being personal and just picking on me. The best part is, all of us are wondering why is that happening.

I do not want to go direct confrontation as she is very petty. If I speak to her, sure will get worse during my time here. Was thinking of to bear with the job scope till end yr so that I can get my bonus but now with this kind of situation, I can't take it anymore!

Thinking of gg back to do what I'm experienced it. But worried that can't find a job as I only here for like 6 months. I thought most employers would deem me as a job hopper? Sigh. If I can I also don't want to change job so soon...

Is this a big company of an SME?

If big, maybe you can ask for a transfer.

Unregistered 22-07-2011 08:28 PM

I mean "OR" an SME.

I have been there before. This woman that I report to suddenly became hostile and gave me lots of stress everyday. I was scolded everyday such that I fear to go to work.

I left after enduring for 5 months. I was lucky to get a job before I left and that was when the economy was quite bad.

I am doing quite well. In fact, I last checked back on her status, she was demoted.

Don't worry about this kind of people. They can't last long. Leave your job and you will do better elsewhere. This kind of people will earn the reputation that will permanently damage their career.

Dear all, thanks for the encouragement, have decided to move on. Just hope that prospective employers will give me a chance to go for an interview. No point having a transfer coz even if successful, will still do the admin work and see still her everyday as we are all on the same floor.

Yo brudder hamsap. Which part of my post gave u the idea that "sg men so deprived". I said "petty", not pretty lah. U think too much.

Still you should give her a 1 x good one before you go.

Resign. Just do not mention this job in your CV. Say you took a break for some short courses blah blah blah. Or family member ill.

I also had a lousy experience with a lady boss. Fair enough that she doesnt know everything but she also loves to make the wrong decisions. As a results of her "acting smart", I end up working till seven to nine plus almost every nite. And at times, when I left on time, she was unhappy.

After about 6 mths, I accidentally injured my back. Hence, I left the job (without another) and went for my treatment about 3 times a week for 3 months.

I am sure you are feeling better once you left the job.

Women are not good bosses generally as they like to micro-manage.

The lousier ones use politics and PR skills to compensate for lack of technical knowledge.

I had a female boss once. But she was one of those who think and act like a man. So it worked out well for me.

Quit without a job, Now full of regrets
 
Hi,

I was also in a 'lousy' situation with a great organisation in July this year. I chose to give up, quit without looking for a job and has been jobless since end August. Feeling very down as age is against me. The job market is also very quiet now even though my line is considered iron rice bowl. Really depressing.

poor and stupid 19-10-2012 01:17 PM

Why quit when you can screw them up?

You may think the company is losing $$ cause they pay your salary.... actually they lied to you and you are losing money now. If you know is liddat, you would have gone to another job and not waste your time with this crap.

I hate people who dun work professionally, usually just sabo them sua.

I would usually disagree with this (unless you are really hard pressed for money, but then if that is the case; DUN QUIT!!).

Keeping it honest will prevent you from getting into this sort of incident in the future, if you wan a career.

But again I dun remembering anyone having a career nowadays, unless they like stagnant pay. Oh I next month is my 1year joining anniversary time to get YEB and @_@

The micro-manage part is not that bad if the staff are inexperience. The worse is being so "meticulous" that they pick up the small 5ct 10ct first, then they pick up the big picture. Waste their staff time with 5ct 10ct, when the big issues havent resolve.

Some are genuinely brilliant, some appear brilliant cos of experience. If you learn the ropes fast enough, you gain the experience they have, then you will start seeing some flaws in their reasoning and decision making and disagree. That is when they start hating you and making life difficult for you.

Abusive boss alert named Cecilia in Urban Define.
 
If anybody wants to consider working in Urban Define, please don’t ever put it into your thoughts. The boss is very stingy and pay you like peanut. She will never ever appreciate your hard work and will accuse you on the things you can’t even control at all. Her overtime was was never really an overtime pay as it’s included in your actual salary. If you overstayed for her, she will not pay you a single penny for the extra time you stayed. If anything is stolen, staff have to pay full price when she promised to pay half of it. She is just as greedy she is when she made the promise.

I helped her to cover up for one her ex-staff before several times and she never paid me for that at all. She simply just said to me that this considered the day I didn’t turn up for work because of I wasn’t well. She never bother to even give medical benefits to her staff. I fell sick because of her and to show my sincerity. She is making me work for free. I accepted this because I really wanted to keep the job. I was wrong after she showed me lack of appreciation. My work attitude changed because of this. I couldn’t be bothered to put in my hundred percent anymore. All she cares about is her sales which she never properly address to any of her staff and on what they should expect.

She only mentioned about me losing her business just because I couldn’t get any customers for her. It’s not my fault that I couldn’t get customers to spend their money. They have their own freedom on what they want to spend. At times it’s very quiet to the point of not even a ghost wanted to patronise the shop. How is this my fault? When she set the new stocktaking policy, I was like okay since it’s very quiet. I only close early one day to do three days stocktake for her because it was that quiet. Again, she said I’m making her to lose sales because of my action. She said she has been controlling her temper on me just that I didn’t appreciate my job... In the matter of fact, she never only talked about other staff and never once about me. She fired me because of the things I can’t control and her faults.

With that, I urge people not to work here. The boss name is Cecilia and she only cares about money and never about her staff. She pays badly and never give appreciation to her staff. She can prevent it by briefing the staff on what to do so that the staff will know. She only cares about money back then. I already wanted to quit because of her constantly abuse. She fired me because of her faults. Just steal everything from her and make her staff pay for it at Marina Square outlet. Then her staff will have to pay full price. Once they have enough, they will quit and her business will suffer. I urge people to do so for me because she’s an evil boss.

I sympathise with your indignation. However in your last paragraph, your comments can be seen to be inciting crime. If Cecilia or anyone makes a police report against you, you're doomed.
