Phone number on the website is out of service, I don't get response for email queries. Travel coming up in two weeks. Any ideas on how to reach them to clarify?

Oh also the tracking on the VFS site says it doesn't recognize my reference number, but the tracking on the Singapore immigration and checkpoints authority shows pending status. It's just ridiculous...

Did you apply through our courier service? Took me about a week to get my visa for singapore

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool. I also just found out that a new hire (male, also an engineer) is the reason I got a raise after ~5 years of stagnancy. I love my job, but it’s time to move on. Anyone who’s worked in nonprofit spaces - did you stay? Did you switch to consulting/government/etc or go corporate? I’ve been applying without much response, and I’m debating whether a PMP very or masters is going to be necessary.

A former colleague of mine (a sweet Indian American woman in her early fifties, who moved to States when she was 2 years old from India) said last week that Trump policies messing the H4/EAD renewals are very much valid even though it pains folk she know. Her reasoning is that Indian American kids are taking huge loans to study here and those jobs are being grabbed by FOBs. Never thought I would hear something like this from her. Anyone else come across such behavior from Indian Americans?
