Meritocracy is dead in SG

[pleasehelpme120]

Meritocracy is dead. I helped my girlfriend pass her MNC tech OA, she got the role, and I didn’t even land an interview. Now she’s going out for drinks with some senior she met on LinkedIn.

This whole thing is so ridiculous I don’t even know where to start.

Both my girlfriend and I applied for a tech role at a big-name MNC. She was struggling with the online assessment (OA), couldn’t debug her own code, kept failing test cases, and was stressing over it. I stepped in, helped her understand the logic, debugged her code, and even wrote some test cases for her. Some of mine were wrong, but overall, I made sure her submission was solid.

Meanwhile, I took the same OA, solved everything correctly, double-checked my answers, and submitted it with full confidence.

A few days later, she gets an interview. I get absolutely nothing. No rejection, no feedback—just ignored. Then she gets the offer. I’m still sitting here with nothing.

And now? She’s suddenly "networking" with some senior she met on LinkedIn. Going out for drinks, texting him constantly, and somehow, I only find out about this when she casually mentions it in passing—like it’s nothing. Didn’t even bother to tell me beforehand.

So let me get this straight:

I helped her pass an OA she would have failed.

She gets the job, I get ghosted by the company.

And now she’s out drinking with some LinkedIn senior while I’m sitting here wondering if I was just a stepping stone.

What the hell am I supposed to do in this situation?

everyone is friendly and nice until the "bottom line" is tested lol

Sinkie gov use meritocracy is to balance 'china and US relationship'. Meritocracy is also use for foreigners to come in easily and complete and ousted the local. So the local here have to be born rich or born very smart.

Your 'girlfriend' is the one should be helping you, not us
We can't help you debug nor connect you to the MNC.

Many many misread and misunderstood the word “MERIT”

MERiT is a very subjective concept
Something that look merit to u, may look tribal to another person

Because she has an abalone and you don't. Getting the job is just a foot in, you do not know who has hired her and what she/he wants. Don't be fucking naive and think it's to fill a vacancy in just the office

 

[myfoot123]

In Sinkieland, every PAPPY MPs or Mdm Yistana came into politics thru UNMERITED UNDESERVED favour. Same applies to all their crony helpers too.

That is a good observation
It is common to see fresh meat to promote at God Forbidding speed engineer to senior engineer in 2yrs

Looks like your girl friend is the smarter one. Is not what you know but rather who you blow.

Hi @pleasehelpme120 @Sinkiesuk @k1976 @myfoot123

Too bad you were born ugly. And with a dick. Meritocracy is not dead. It changed focus. The prettiest get chosen.
They just want a new bonk buddy after got bored with the previous one.
You need to find a " Start up" To be relevant. Local MNC's dont really do much. Most work are done back home where they came from.

Didn't see any mention of SG, so this could've happened in another country? Besides, the MNC could be following some dumb DEI directive from HQ.

ceca, chiobu, cheebye are new currencies in tech hires.
