Title: Feeling moody over job
Post by: Risa on Mar 15, 2024, 10:07 PM
Really very sian max. Left my previous workplace due to work-related issues and also due to poor structure, now in current workplace the work is so messy, might be worse off than previous job now...

Somemore interview phase say can help sign off my CPA working experience, now end up either is cannot sign (signer never fulfill requirements to sign) or refuse to sign.

Damn pek chek.

Wanna jump also no news so far...

my frens go nz when they young then later joined their agriculture industry then fr work holiday work long term as their farming additional staff then after X years became their pr
But I remb she went when she was abt 2x. They want young ppl cos of labor intensive work and young ppl tend to give longer time of gdp contributions before needing health care sv and retirement support ?

If u feel finance / accounting is like that , maybe try to start anew on a say free lance basis on ur main industry
And try to get trained n certified in a different field ?

My friend another one she went oz to study pharmaceutical studies xxxxx when she was late twenty/ thirty ish
Was a teacher in local sec school ... then quit to study .. then she worked as new Pharma assistant from there after graduating... so to change her path she took 4 years ish ? Relocate , read a new BSc. , took a new job in a new place where she knew nobody ...
Now she's married to a local there at oz

my previous job used to be ok, but i lost everything after they did a restructuring which happened less than 2 months i joined them, and i was left with almost zero guidance and direction. but i still worked for another 1.5 years almost entirely alone with few support and respect from colleagues too. coz they see i no manager in local office, so become easy target.

overseas hq got staffs and i had an imaginary reporting line to them. no support alr nvm, they even interfered with my work also.

the final straw was the auditors refused to sign off the audit, resigned and backdated their resignation, with the audit manager calling me and tell me specifically i should not work in that job and coy any longer.

If need another cpa to sign you off.. shd work full time to get enuf recognition n work tgt time with someone else to get yrself signed off for full qualification... yr cpa school hv teachers who r in full time job in other industries are u in connection with them and do they know u r interested to change envt ?

i cannot know how @Shiori is experencing.

my first job is still my only job since i got hired right after graduating over 10 years ago

was thankful enough that they let me rotate everywhere and go 3/4 + 1/2 time when i wanted too

if i didn't like ppl in my department, either i backstab and kill them off or i move away

if everyday u wake up, looking forward to going to ur office to do things because u want too, and not because u got dateline

then u found that job u really love that could turn out to be your vocation

but its super super rare imo.

i met ppl like that b4. this guy working for a big christian church, he organizes mission trips to the region to help the poor villages

he really loves his job, he goes in early, leaves late, weekend also go, because he believes in what he does. the salary is secondary.

If you become jobless, you will also be moody..so just continue with it..at least you r getting paid 🙂

Anyway you have financial background, why not venture into stock trading (if you haven't tried it) and see whether you can carve out a successful path from it. And, if you're really good at trading, at least it's a good backup to fall back on if u quit your current job without securing a new one.

not sure but probably they can feel i am struggling in that job ?
as emails flying everywhere from me but no answer received from others
the auditors also cant do their work too

all i know is back then the auditors engaged some external parties or their local audit offices at other countries to do investigation and discovered things which have been around all these years but were not picked up in the past audits conducted in prior years

I think I can uds what u mean... officially they coined it imposter syndrome ...

But isn't it universally like that .. everyone is promoted until they reached e limit of their competency ... even parents or siblings .. then the role is optimised and de optimised... then net value diminishes... then stabilised until this someone improves or becomes a better version 🤗🫣😅🧐
