2 lobangs knocking on my door at the Same Time

Guess what ?

Tomorrow should be my last day at work but my manager requested me to "help her out" on a "daily-rated" basis after my official last working day, since I have yet to secure a new permanent job. Just a good 15 minutes or so earlier, my very good friend from school roped me in to assist her in her shop too ! For SGD 7.00 an hour, starting this Sunday ! I do not know what will the arrangements be like for my current permanent job's "daily-rates" but my boss suggested that I either work from 0900-1730hr or 0900-1500 hours so that I can go for my new job interview/s. The new staff (they claimed that they have yet to source for one) replacing me may go onboard in December but I have made myself clear to them that I may not work for the whole of November.

Actually, I felt a little flattered and honoured because it proved that I am WANTED and can be of some use to the company. Most importantly, it is to prove to my friends and acquaintances that I was not sacked /fired/ unwanted by my company okie !!! :)

But on the downside, it feel a bit "loo-gee" (at the losing end) because as a "daily-rated staff" working for them temporarily, I assume I do not receive any CPF contributions benefits (I want my CPF!!) or bonuses (that is, if they still have bonuses lah, given that the aviation businesses are hitting a plateau). I thought I also wanted to use this free time to take a break; go for massages, spas, gym sessions, a short trip to Malaysia and KTVs on weekday afternoons as they are cheaper.

I do feel a bit obligated to "help" my current manager since there are only herself and other colleague of mine in our department and they are sort-of clearing their annual leave before the end of this year. On the other hand, working for my good old pal may be physically more challenging, given that her shop operates retail-hours etc, but it may be more relaxed & enjoyable working for her than my current colleagues (though they do treat me better now).

What should I do ?

Updated : I have decided to take up BOTH temporary jobs till I secure a permanent one as the 2 former jobs are flexible and I could leave anytime too ^_^
P.S. : My current co has decided to pay me CPF for the temp workdays too !!
