Longest was 6+ years. Quitted as there was some restructuring in my department and I didnt want to wait to be posted. Also, felt it was time to move on after so long.
Current is 1.5 years.

so far boss quite good to me lor, just being scared to look for another job, worse still if it turns out to be a bad choice. Dun wanna risk - although pay is lower now & if job hop will sure get higher pay. Adapting to new environment is fine with me just want to stayed on becoz now i can leave on the dot almost everyday.

Mine the longst is 2 years plus, the shortest is 4 months.
3 company, 2 are local family company and 1 (the current boss) is local chinese boss
Going to quit soon. No career prospect, no increment in the past 10 years of employment history. increment only come when they know we r resigning which is too late. Like now the electrical fees are going up... things r getting expensive..production workers were asking for little increment to cope the expenses but still no increment. I will bad for them.

i think it all depends on your own expectations. Increment is a must - to let employee know that what they have done is worthwhile. Staying in a job wo increment is a no-no. Some companies have policies that states increment ties w economy and the amt is up to performance evaluation. So whether performance good or not there must still be increment unless company doesn't do well then thats a different story altogether.
i dunno where i will be in 10 years down the road - dont think i will be stuck in the same company though ...see how things go. If given a choice i would rather be a SAHM but also worried if i will be too free coz sometimes at home with my boy also very 'sian'....

Not yet going for checking.
My hubby said till Sat... so that the bb is bigger to be seen, he has confident the bb still there but he dun wan me to feel sad if still cant see the bb.
i just heard from other thread, there is this Dr Kee very good @ Jurong POint... he has encountered similar cases like mine, thinking of getting him to confirm for me but he is very far... i am @ woodlands.
I will discuss with my hubby again, he wants me to go Admiralty one so that its closer and more convenient for me.

no matter wat, the most impt is to stay happy in ur job. I ever though of home-based job, but it is sufficient for the whole family esp the rising costs nowadays..so kinda of worried..nw jus hve to wait for my bb to come out and see how it goes..
yuki miaka...the most impt is u mus feel comfortable w the gynae and which hospital will the gynae going to deliver u is also a concern...usually abt 7 weeks the gynae is able to like scan and see the heartbeat of ur bb in the sac..

I think chinese companies are like that...act blur till staff resigns. But wont be surprise MNCs also.
The companies I have worked so far only offer 12days leave per year and mostly American firms. Some more no additional 1 day after 1 yr of service...sigh...
