If I connect my uni ethernet cable to a router, is there gonna change anything?

Hey guys , I don't know what to do. Like I work in this company for 2 years. When I suggest idea , or suggest a faster way to do stuff. I get shutdown by my senior and the head of the department. They always tell me last time people do this so we follow.

And even when I suggest like making an excel file and record data so in future it would be easier for all of us to work and be more efficient. They told me. If you want you do it yourself. Like the job is rotate. I work in sme . As accounts clerk. And in sme if the guy on leave other need to take over. And I find that. It's very messy. Not organised. I tried to suggest some stuff to make things easier. Since everyone can access excel file so I suggest we make one would be easier they told me. All along we never do this. Why now? Or they will tell me just follow only .

I suggest another idea would make the team more efficient or faster way to do stuff. And even show the head of the department. She didn't even listen to what I have to say keep talking over me and shut me down. Maybe I new only 2 year working there they work more than 5 years+. I suggest the idea when I working for almost a year. Because I was learning all the stuff. I find it was redundant. And can work faster. Some stuff I did in the end they follow . But the senior took the credit for it.

After that I never suggested anything anymore. And I feel like they hate me. Especially the head of the department. Day 1 keep finding fault with me. The senior it's like jealous or something. Because I do my work fast and efficient. I feel like they talk bad to the head of department. Saying after I finish my job I sit down do nothing etc. which is not true. I say this because the head confronted me and ask me don't sit down do nothing. Which I replied I am working . Other than that I drink water or rest my eyes by looking at far objects and near. For maybe 5 min and continue to work if that's over I don't know what is already. Feel like they keep finding trouble with me for no reason. ABIT fed up already. So yeah. All this happened after I suggested idea of working faster and more efficient. Is it wrong to do so?

And fyi. Within this 2 years I can work as fast and as efficient as the seniors. And I pick up almost 90% of the work they doing too. I have no experience or cert before working in this company. Even though I have diploma in CS I never because the place I live don't have IT jobs. And at that time I figured if I gonna travel etc it's too costly. Not worth. So I just pick up this job.

Tbh most of the things they say or act feels so insulting. Example , I ask the senior some stuff about work straight away give me black face. Where other people talk to them smiling etc. why ah. Because of all this happening I never talk to them . Rarely talk to them . Because they keep on taking bad about other people behind their backs etc. is it toxic work culture or is all company the same? Like I legit looking for another company already even though I only can do general accounting. Like full set of accounts. Recon , bookkeeping , ap , ar , issue invoice , voucher etc. Learn all of this within 2 years. And have knowledge of 2 accounting software. Sadly all outdated.

But than the attitude of them always black face show authority etc. worst is when boss is around they like to point out my mistake loudly when the boss is around. Oh you did wrong here supposed to be like this. I am like this is just a small mistake. Go into system change done already. Why need so loud. Whole office can hear. When my senior "try" to correct my mistake . Tbh I work there my confidence also drop. Like isolation.

Please look for another company, your mental health is more important

Move elsewhere, where you’re more appreciated.

Anyone can confirm if Sept 17 is a public holiday?

u/eisfer_rysen avatar

Yes.

β€’

Do companies have to count it as a public holiday? Because sources vary online (some don't show it as a public holiday)

Thanks for answering

Anyone here suffering from Psoriasis? What cream do you use on your skin and what shampoo and soap do you guys use?

Scalp - Suubalm shampoo, if you can add the scalp spray better. Remdii shampoo + scalp spray.

Cream- Aveeno oat fragrance free, Ceraden, SuuBalm, Cetaphil, QV, Remdii, La roche posay, eucerin. All can get from Caring pharmacy

Soap - same brands as the creams.

β€’

Daivobet works short to medium term. Some pharmacies also sell OTC creams with some minerals, they kinda work.

In the end, the best treatment I found was to eat clean and practice good hygiene. Got rid of like 80% of sore spots.

Hello I'm back from my socmed fasting. Lmao

Anyway, anyone know if I can Grab/Maxim from KL sentral to Batang Kali? If yes how much is it approximately?

Or should I just rent a car? Altho I'm not too confident driving in KL😭

If you Grab that far, would probably be really expensive. Over 60 bucks, probably more during peak hours.

Would be better if you take KTM from KL Sentral. Take the Port Klang Line towards Tanjung Malim. Batang Kali stesen should be on that line

Yeah just find out about the KTM! How about the Grab in the area? The only scheduled time is 2100 arrving 2200 ish. Also need to get grab every morning 8-9ish to get to workplace.

Not sure about the Grab there but should be cheaper/less traffic than in KL for sure. And yeah, the KTM is significantly slower. But it's up to you la to see if you'd rather give up time or money.

Grab every morning? That could add up to quiet a lot, even if its near. Maybe renting a car is a better option. What about public transport? No bus stations within walking distance?

I actually have no idea lmao. Had to go there to cover for a colleague. around 1 week ish this early June.

Hence why I'm asking about the Grab condition there whether if it's easy to get grab every morning and evening. Comment Image

Is it just me or has google recovery method been kinda useless and ridiculous?

I made a new email and after a day the session expired and needed to be logged back in. I only submitted recovery acc and not phone number as a recovery method. It should work. Until it didnt.

It requested for verification and needed to input a number to send a code. Fair. But every number i put in, this error message kept on popping out "This phone number been used many times". Fine. I put in my bro's phone number that's new and never been used for any google sign in. Still the same.

Ok tough. I can beat this stupid machine. Try another way. Clicked. Forgot email. Clicked. Recovery email and code. Done. first name. Done. Password. Done. Phone verification. Bro's phone number. "This phone number has been used many times"

Fuck this shit. I even tried to click forgot password, all was seamless and it kept on asking for the phone verification. Is the recovery email not enough?

Anyway, any ideas how to resolve this? We've tried with multiple phone numbers. Still same result. I went on Gmail sub, and the 'product expert' suggested to keep the acc idle for a week. But then again the 'product expert' sounds like a bot.

β€’

i, uh. used one of those hacked phone number sites to make a throwaway google account once. https://quackr.io/ that kinda of sites. anyway i don't need to tell you to immediately remove it once you manage to login right? you should print the single use verification codes from your google account.

finding a number that is usable took a lot of tries.

definitely didnt think of this. Thanks!

May I know the code will be sent to an email i presume if i were to use that site?

β€’

the phone number site? it opens a page where you can see the sms's sent to that number.

by the codes i mean that deep in google account security setting you can find an option to use a set of one time security codes to verify your identity in the future - those you should print out and keep.

Ah thanks for the clarification. I'll try again tomorrow. Really do hope it works. Thanks again!

anyone knows what's the new drama with Adeline and the TCM Master?

I sometimes wish chatgpt was never created.

IDK how my boss's brain work but it's annoying when he sees certain words being used or sentence structure that I, a fucking human wrote, and straight up labelling them as "AI generated".

I spent an entire day on an article of 1.5k words about complex human anatomy. And he just sent me a message asking if I used chatgpt to generate the article.

He never said what he thinks is AI or how should I write to sound more "human" to him. He just randomly appears and asks if I used AI, when I never did. I have already told him, I only use it to generate content outlines, synonyms, and the occasional grammar check.

Or I really do write like a robot lmao.

Sounds like a compliment, or your boss just has a bad grasp of the language.

β€’

yeah man later that day i was doing my thesis and i said i use chatgpt for rephrasing. my supervisor straight up complaining my works and talk about chatgpt for minutes long instead of commenting some improvements on my work.

lesson learnt. dont ever mention chatgpt.

u/ChubbyTrain avatar

Chances are his own writing is shit, so anything better than his writing has to be AI, because no way his employee below him writes better than him.

Ya, his English isn't good. Now, he's asking us to make sure our articles are 90% human on some AI detecting software. Haih, I don't know how to tahan him la.

u/seatux avatar

Your company like collage, all must feed into Turnitin lol.

Because my boss, his comprehension skills not good. He read Google Algorithm updates about AI and thought Google banned its use outright.

Actually, it's not like that, Google just said you can not use AI to generate low quality and spammy content.

Thank god I'm just serving notice period now, am leaving next month.

What's the fee for retaking a practical driving test? I couldn't find the info in JPJ website.

u/Felinomancy avatar

As far as I know it's set by the driving school, not JPJ.

That's why some schools have "until you pass" guarantee; basically in exchange for a higher initial fee, they'll let you take the test multiple times until you pass.

Oh? I thought the test is conducted by JPJ and they are the one who sets the fee. I find it really weird that the fee is set by the driving school.

Thank for the reply.

u/Felinomancy avatar

The test is done by JPJ. But they only come to the testing area with the driving school's co-operation. So the school is charging you for making the arrangements for the test.

So I suppose if you have a driving circuit-like place you can probably invite the JPJ people to administer the test there. Maybe πŸ˜…

Also if the JPJ office has the litar of its own then technically they can administer the test themselves. Again, this is a "maybe".

colour depositing shampoo is a game changer. last time i used to redha when my hair lost its colour after just one month post-salon. nowadays i can just top up the colour every week. sure its not perfect β€” tak rata lansung. but hey, at least i dont have a pale hair that shows all the uban im supposed to be hiding.

has anyone tried flying via Air Asia X (the long haul flights of Air Asia)? how was the experience?

KL to Melbourne, got lucky that my outbound flight was empty so I had a row to myself, slept like a baby. Not so lucky on my inbound flight, the flight was full to the brim. my back hurts so much, no sleep, babies crying.

how many hours to Melbourne?

7-8 hours iinm

ohh it's almost like KL to Tokyo

flew to KIX from KUL round trip in 2017.

the experience was exactly what you would expect from a normal AA flight tbh, just...longer.

so I guess not so comfy ride but longer? πŸ˜… been a while since I last did a flight with AA.

u/sofutotofu avatar
β€’

exactly. you get what you paid for.

alternatively you can fork out a bit and pay for their "business class", which is really just a seat that could recline 80% flat, plus baggage allowance, extra legroom and food. no lounges, no entertainment, no wifi.

I saw the price for their "business class". It feels like you're better off on an ANA or JAL at that price point even if it's economy.

I do appreciate that AA doesn't jack up the prices if you're only planning to get one way tix. ANA and JAL one way for economy costs almost the same as their business class.

Any of you got a fitness goal you wanna reach this year? I just wanna be able to touch my toes lol and I’m in need of an accountability bud to keep me on track.

Please hit me up if you’re interested and I’ll do the same for you.

just start small with 2 days of gym or mobility exercises a week & make a commitment to stick to it. once you are able to do that consistently for 1-2 months, maybe look into improving your food choices. change 1 thing at a time...too many people want to do everything at one go & in the end just get demotivated when they cannot cope. people who truly workout will know you dont need to exercise 5-6 days a week to get fit but if you truly enjoy it, by all means go ahead. by end of the year, you will definitely be able to touch your toes and even more. alternatively you can pay a coach once a week to keep you accountable.
