‘I feel underqualified' — New hire considers quitting her job less than a month in, as she's 'left to struggle without much help'
SINGAPORE: Feeling overwhelmed and unsupported, one Singaporean employee is already thinking of leaving her new job less than a month after starting. In a recent anonymous post on Reddit's 'Ask Singapore' forum, she opened up about her rocky start, sharing, 'I feel underqualified for the role, left to struggle without much help, and don't think I could add any value to the company. I feel like quitting already.' Under her post, many kind-hearted Redditors reassured her that feeling lost or overwhelmed in the first few weeks of a new job is incredibly common, and reminded her that it often takes time to find one's footing in a new environment. One wrote, 'It took me 7 months to understand my role and make sense of what I am doing… Just be patient with yourself if it's not a toxic role… If it hits your core and it's tough 24/7, then find a job now and quit once you have a new one.' Another encouraged her to stay on a little longer, saying, 'Try and stay for 6 months!!! I think feeling overwhelmed in the first month is quite normal for many, but it gets better.' A third chimed in with a practical reminder, writing, 'Unless your mental health is /severely/ affected right now, stay on. You would NOT want to be jobless and have bills to pay that just keep coming.' Others, meanwhile, offered practical advice. One suggested, 'Learn the ropes of your role and responsibility even in your free time. Invest time in learning, and your adjustment will take less time. It helps big time if you can find some kind of a mentor; talk to your supervisor/manager and request a buddy system. Tell them the faster you learn, the more productive you will be. Just keep hustling; you'll look back at this thread and just laugh at it.' How long does it take to settle into a new job? According to Rednax Recruitment , it usually takes around three to six months for someone to really feel comfortable and settled in a new job. That period gives new employees the chance to learn what their role involves, get a feel for what their boss and company expect from them, and adjust to the overall work culture. But it's important to remember that this timeline isn't the same for everyone. How quickly someone settles in can depend on a bunch of things. For example, some people pick up new skills faster by jumping right in and doing the work, while others might need more time with training or guidance. The company culture also matters because if it is a friendly and supportive place, it is easier to feel at home faster. On the other hand, a high-pressure or fast-paced environment might make things more challenging.

'My boss terminated me without proper cause' — Employee claims he was wrongfully terminated over leaked info accusation
SINGAPORE: A Singaporean employee recently claimed on social media that he was wrongfully terminated after being accused of leaking confidential information. On Monday (June 2), he took to the r/askSingapore Reddit forum to seek advice and share his experience with fellow locals. In his post, he explained that he was recently dismissed from his full-time position because his employer alleged that he had disclosed sensitive company information to other departments or colleagues. However, he firmly denied these accusations, stating that they were completely 'untrue.' He also mentioned that his contract puts him at a disadvantage. 'I'm on the losing end as my employment contract only provided for 1 month of notice period, so my salary in lieu of notice will only be 1 month's wages to tide me over the next few weeks and months until I can secure a new job.' Seeking help from those who may have gone through similar experiences, he asked: 'What can I do apart from filing a complaint report with TADM? As I understand, these investigations can take up to weeks and months.' See also Worker laments as she still needs to work even while on sick leave 'Employers can terminate you for no reason at all…' In the Reddit discussion that followed, one user commented, 'Nothing. The employer can terminate their employment contract with you for any reason outside the protected classes (e.g, gender, race, pregnancy).' Another agreed, saying, 'There is no such thing as termination WITH a proper cause. Employers can terminate you for no reason at all. They just need to either give you a notification period or pay you the amount so you can leave immediately.' However, some Redditors challenged this view and suggested the employee might have grounds to file a complaint. One pointed out, 'If they did not tell you what the breach was, or carried out any investigations to ascertain the breach, then you may have a claim for wrongful dismissal.' Wrongful dismissal According to the Tripartite Alliance for Dispute Management (TADM), wrongful dismissal refers to cases where an employee is let go without 'just or sufficient cause.' Examples include dismissal due to discrimination, being unfairly deprived of benefits, or being punished for exercising employment rights. It also covers situations where an employee is forced to resign against their will. In contrast, dismissals due to misconduct, poor performance, or redundancy are generally not considered wrongful, as long as the contractual notice is served or payment is made in lieu thereof. TADM also states that if an employee disputes the reasons given for their dismissal, they must be able to support their claim with 'anecdotal or documentary' evidence.

‘Retailers, hawkers and restaurants need to survive' — KF Seetoh says Urban Hawker NYC costs less to run than Orchard Road, MBS food halls
SINGAPORE: Operations and rents in Urban Hawker in New York are way cheaper than in prime Orchard Road and Marina Bay Sands (MBS) food halls, says Makansutra founder KF Seetoh in a Facebook post on Monday night (June 2), explaining that he knows this because Makansutra was their setup consultant. Mr Seetoh said he needed to 'exhale some facts and realities' after seeing the news of how a group of retail and food and beverage (F&B) players were banding up to raise concerns over the 'sky is the limit' rents, operating costs, and manpower woes in Singapore. Pointing out that manpower is not a major issue in New York City, and people there pay market prices for food even in the Times Square and Rockefeller Centre area, where Urban Hawker is located, he said, 'Sure, taxes may be higher but it works out way better than paying ridiculous 5 figure stall rents plus a profit percentage.' ' In Singapore, selling S$8 platters. It's US$17 for fried hokkien mee in Urban Hawker and there's no entitled customers about prices there… ,' he added. Mr Seetoh said, 'Retailers, hawkers and restaurants need to survive. They pay full price for other living and business costs here, too. Who's gonna take up your shops and stalls if you happy keep cranking up that rent and operation cost machine?' warning that the current setup will only push hawkers and small operators out. 'Rethink this whole business infrastructure. Put on your crystal ball and binos and look ahead, it's bleak. Don't even talk about affordable food for the masses in the future, for a start,' he added. One commenter blamed 'insatiable landlords' who keep raising rent and making it difficult for small hawkers and retailers to survive. Another pointed out that, unlike Singapore, which charges customers for takeaway containers , 'Urban Hawker portions are American-sized, and if you need to dabao your leftovers, the containers are free.' See also Will Singapore's missing recession delay next GE? The concerns raised by Mr Seetoh echo what many in the F&B sector are going through. In February, a hawker with a vegetarian stall at Serangoon Road , who had operated for over 10 years, moved out after learning that his rent would rise to S$3,000 from just S$930 due to a new operator. He said the rent was too much, as he was only earning enough to survive. In October 2024, Singapore's monthly F&B business closures surpassed even pandemic levels , with government data showing that over 3,000 F&B outlets had closed by the end of last year . More recent figures don't offer much relief. The Department of Statistics reported a 2.8% drop in F&B sales in March this year compared to the previous year. This followed a sharper 5.7% year-on-year (YoY) drop in February. In April, government data revealed that an average of 307 F&B businesses had closed each month in 2025 due to high costs and fewer diners, up from 254 in 2024.
