99% of the people who talked about HK in recent times didn't give a shit about HK before it became (even more of) a political symbol to circle jerk over.

Hells Kitchen was a great neighborhood. Used to live there. Things are certainly on a downward trend. Great access to the subway though.

Not sure I understand the point of your post. I talk(ed) about HK a lot. At work, too.

I get your point. I lived in HK for 7-years between 2001-2008 and nobody in the US cared about the fact that the region had been essentially under colonial rule for 100 years. Now that China's stepping in it's become the ultimate American white knight virtue signal.

Hi is it good to say that I already have an offer letter of one company(X) to another company(Y) to get better offer, I just got scolded by HR for this. also I lost the opportunity in Y.

HR scolded me regarding trust issues, time taken to interview a candidate, you will go and come back again to negotiate and what not, all I wanted to was just to improve my current offer.

Is it ethically wrong, or we should never share what offer we have to anyone.

I feel sad that I just lost an opportunity

Not a happy post, but here to seek the Asian perspective/advice. The story is: I was raised by my grandparents in China while parents came to the US. When I was 10 I moved here to be with parents, when they neglected me for years (no food in house, dad left us for a bit, etc). When I started working, parents started emotionally manipulating me for money. I finally cut them out of my life. My grandparents don’t understand why I refuse to see them, it’s created a strain in my relationship…cont
