Left my job in fundraising. Was too tired doing fundraising for charitable cause.

I was 40+.

Thought I would find a new job easily, but turn out to be damn hard.

What makes you think you can find a job easily ? You aware you 40s already right ? Tired so you quit without a job ?

Have you learnt your lesson ? How much you have lost for this 1 year jobless period.

If you have taken up the job, $3.2 k x 12 mths = $38,400 maybe plus some bonus.

This $38 k is the amt earned or maybe more but you choose to avoid 'humiliation' so you earned $0.

Is it worth it ? So much for looking for an imaginery $10 k or so job. Happy waiting.

dignity is the most important thing. Life means little if u live like a mindless slave.

Spoken by someone who has never known poverty. There is no dignity in poverty.
I knew a guy in 2019 who threw his resignation letter two months before the covid situation hit. He was not happy with the poor review he got from the boss, and the increased supervision the managers were giving him. He has two kids and was in his late forties. It really ****ed him up. During covid, the only job he could get is the SG gov created gig jobs. He was let go after the covid situation died down. Jumping from gig job to gig job. It is 2023 and I just heard last month he is still trying to get back into our industry. There is already a four-year gap, and no one in the industry will hire him in his 50s. We are laughing at him and used him as a cautionary tale about pride. He went from a 5 digit monthly salary to living from hand to mouth with a freaking family to bring up.

how pathetic

life of a typical singaporean in singapore

other people's misfortune = funny to u

so cringe

does that include selling your soul to the devil?

You are already speaking english to earn a living. No harm doing more to be respected in society

I respect this guy who is willing to quit, despite the typical boomer mentality that one must secure a job before leaving. Nowadays youngsters are much more willing to quit without a next job, prioritising mental health etc. nothing wrong with that.
