I'm done being unappreciated.

Welcome to capitalism 101.

Really? If anyone would be treated fairly there would be no rich people around.

If you would pay someone what he generates, there would be no profit.

You just quit a very secure job, you might find a job where they tread you more nicely, but sooner or later you will realise as long as you work for someone else, someone else will be appreciated (get rich) for it.

The thing is, it was too blatantly in my face. It construed as a insult to me, and my work. My lab engineer even asked ME to file the WI. I did not asked to be paid what i generate btw, your taking things to the extreme. Fair in my situation is just ensuring I get credit for the work I do, instead of it going to someone else. That's not something extreme that I am asking for.

When your being ragged on every single day, no matter how strong you are, you will be whittled down. I realised that I have become a very angry person and that I am losing confidence in myself as a direct result. I dont want to become that bitter of a person.

Anyway, I know what your saying is true, all of it, thats why i posted this to organise my thoughts and to encourage myself to step out of my comfort zone. If I want to change my situation, I need to take the first step and go out.

Job security isn't a big issue to me to be honest, right now im young, well educated and im in Singapore, like I said, there's always openings for Technicians to run plants and do shift work thanks to the existence of Jurong Island(wiki it). There's definitely work to be found, unlike other countries who may be facing unemployment issues. I do not fear being unable to get a job.

However I dont want to be unhappy. Staying in this situation is not going to make me happy. Hope that lets you understand my current mindset.

Things work differently in other countries. In this case, he's a Chinese person working in Singapore. Things work differently in Asia than what most US citizens would be familiar with. And he did attempt to work through the process that is in place where he worked - and it didn't work for him.

Feel you, friend. Take it easy.

For our foreign friends, Singapore is a country where you just have to take shit. If you get shit at work, you have to suck it up. No union, no strike, etc, none of these will help you. Last time we had a strike, everyone was fired and sent back to their home country.

dont worry mate you'll be fine.

2) I am fat. I fully admit it. For over a year, she always nags/insuinate at me that I am fat, that I shouldnt eat etc. Finally she crossed the line, she actually googled starving african childen photos and sent them to my email. I got pissed, told her straight to her face that this is none of her business. I am not her child, I am not her grandchildren, I am a adult that is only a colleague and that she should mind her own business.
