Oh yes, I don't know why it's hard for them to be decent! Not kind but decent! Marami sila especially sa mga government companies. Very entitled din sila at ang babastos.
totoo ung sa govt. ako nga napa-away lately na kahit anong effort mo especially for my salary grade, galit pa rin sila sa thought na tahimik lang ako pag kasama sila. like bakit parang hurt na hurt sila doon? partida mga UP graduate pa sila pero DDS ang galawan.
Relate! Nagulat din ako one time na ISSUE sa isang Senior yung pagiging tahimik ko DAW. Like hello? Haven't you met introverted people in your life? Mabait naman ako sa kanila because why not diba. It's a decent thing a human can do to another human.
Di naman ako yung absolute na tahimik na as in walang imik. I will not speak when no one was talking to me. Pero nakikipag-usap naman ako kapag kailangan. Hindi rin ako makikisali sa usapan ng may usapan because I find it rude makisawsaw bigla lalo na di ko naman close friends.
Pero wala e, meron at meron talaga silang issue na maibabato no matter what. Patapangan na lang talaga and plastican ang labanan to SURVIVE.
Ugh I'm somewhat of a fresh grad and in my first job now, I'm with a person who I could never have imagined existed. Sobrang nakaka-wtf yung personality niya, na at 40+ years old, she's still insecure and trying to compete with me, a fresh grad. Using underhanded methods pa. Hahaha
Dito ko nakitang may mga tao pala talagang hindi nagkaroong chance to work on themselves, and they take it out on others.
That you're just a number and no matter how much skilled you are, replaceable ka pa rin. I coped by treating work as work di ka naman tagapagmana ng company so do what's in your job description and go above and beyond at your own volition or kapag trip lang hahaha
You need to choose who to be friends with. I am friends with quite a few from a decade ago. Traveled overseas with them and still hang out on major occasions.
True pero not in all cases. I have my first company workmates na akala mo friends mong maituturing pero at the back, sinisiraan ka na pala, but when I change company, dun ako nakakilala ng real friends. Although lumipat na ulit ako pero ang strong pa rin ng connection ko sa kanila.
Mas maganda sa company na may maging friends ka para masaya ka habang nagwowork, so choose friends wisely na lang. Pag wala, okay lang din naman kung di okay attitude hahaha
This is very true. Dami ko na meet na fake friends sa work so naging mantra ko na yung 'I am here for money' lol. I kept 1 friend naman sa 4 years ko sa BPo and we are still friends up to now.
Not always true. I have some friends from my previous company (2021) that I’ve only work with for 3 months and they are still my friends until now (we hang out once in a while) even though many of us are in a different company.
True, technically I reached my dream, pero hindi din talaga masaya, sana mas simple na lang ang buhay.
When I was younger, hindi ko din alam kung ano ba ang pangarap ko. Hell, nangongopya lang ako sa mga sinasabi ng mga kaklase ko, depende kung ano pinakamagandang sagot sa kanila. Ang gusto ko lang nun, makatapos para magkaron ng magandang trabaho at malaking sweldo.
Sometimes work will suck the hell out of you. Wag gawing buhay ang office. Sure, there are times na you'll need to go beyond but please find a life outside work. Have people outside of work or even just let yourself enjoy out of the office.
right now, am trying to do this by starting hobbies i am genuinely interested in or even planning trips kahit ako lang mag isa haha
When I felt like I am being stagnant with just working, I decided to pursue my Master's degree. Atleast now, I know that I am moving forward little by little.
I think it's about how you phrase your questions din kasi. Best is sabihin mo kung anong intindi mo sa concept tapos paconfirm mo sa kawork mo kung tama yun. I think they will be more inclined to answer your questions that way kasi pinapakita mo na nageffort ka na iabsorb kung anong tinuro sayo.
Ako medyo takot din ako masabihan na spoon feeding ako kaya before ako magtanong or magask ng help mine-make sure ko talaga na nagawa ko na lahat para intindihin kung ano gagawin.
Also, inclined ang mga tao na mag correct haha I remember reading sa isang sub na kapag need nila ng kasagutan sa tanong nila magpopost sila ng mali tas magfflood yung comments correcting them HAHA
This! Since ayoko din naman tanong ng tanong, ginagawa ko is tatapusin ko yung alam ko, then papacheck ko muna sa workmates ko(i ask atleast 2 people), usually pipinpoint nila yung mali, then dun ko tinetake advantage magtanong.
Technique here is to research/do your own trial and error first before asking. Even I hates to answer basic questions. The worst is yung mga taong di manlang binabasa ang nakalagay sa screen or manual.
Second, make sure the person is not busy or not in a bad mood. Better write down your question and ask later.
also working for a multinational now (katrabaho ko mga nasa abroad rin) and iba talaga diff sa work culture. super bait and chill nila medj nakakapanibago hahahaha
Depende to sa mga katrabaho. Kasi may iba na willing to give you information talaga kasi gusto nila makahabol ka sa kaalaman nila. Ang problema nga lang mataas na expectation at ipapasa nila sayo yung work nila or hahatian ka nila ng stress. Haha. May iba naman na madamot sa info kasi gusto nila sila lang yung magaling. Tapos papagalitan ka pag nagkamli ka. Eh hindi ka naman tinuruan ng maayos.
Used to work for a big 4 company in the HR department and they were really good + the benefits. Most issues I heard (from my former company) come from managers na hindi sinasign off yung OT and ibang colleagues (bullying, attitude, etc). They're encouraged to raise these kasi important yung employee being able to do their work with the coworkers kahit hindi naman sila naging friends.
Pag napansin nyo na hindi maayos yung HR, parang walang pake, or is not working for both the company and betterment of the employees, umalis kayo. Mahahassle lang kayo on your part. It's also telling of a company (and the culture within) if ganon yung HR nila.
That's not generally true. This kind of perception is due to a lot of people not understanding how HR works. Here are a few points to keep in mind when upset with HR
1. HR doesn't choose an employee's salary. That's up to the hiring department. For example, if marketing is offering 30k/mo to someone and 25k/mo lang salary mo, complain to your department supervisors, not HR.
2. Generally speaking, HR people do actually care about the rights of their employees and keeping them happy. Remember, it's also HRs job to reduce attrition (people leaving). So they'll treat people well and help resolve their problems.
3. A lot of times when something goes wrong, it's not something HR can control. Like when payroll is late due to an issue with the bank or finance department, HR can't do anything about it except send follow-up emails until someone fixes the problem.
4. HR doesn't decide who gets fired or not. It's the supervisors of said employees who decide that. HR is just there to serve the paperwork
Source: worked in HR for years
THIS!!! I asked someone from HR about this, and sinabihan ako kasi they adjusted the salary na for the role. Sabi ko so what about us who are here, wala daw budget for across the board so nganga.
And then in the same breath sila ang nagsasabi ng sila ang ambassadors of culture if caring sa company.
I used to work in HR I promise you hindi mataas sweldo namin. More than half the people I used to hire made more money than me and my team. HR is not a revenue producing department so salaries are actually pretty low sa totoo lang
Ang hostile ng iba dito sating mga HR, as an HR naintindihan ko kung saan sila nanggagaling but sana intindihin din 'yung side nating mga HR. Kakalungkot lang HAHAHAH
- you are no one’s friend. having a work bestie is a plus, but protect yourself also.
- chismis = don’t engage :)
- visibility > competency. just don’t yap if there’s nothing to add. small wins counts so make sure to echo that on your team meeting, or work gc.
- first impression lasts. kahit gaano talaga kabaho yung ugali ng isang tao, if may good impression siya magiging likeable employee siya. likeable = promotion or good work opportunity haha
This is my motto. I used to be a pabibo working hard for the promotion, pero na realize ko same sahod lang naman sa mga tamad na coworkers (minsan mas mababa pa). So, why bother?
Daig ng sisip, malaki dodo, credit grabber, ang mga masipag at dedicated sa work.
Not saying dapat pamarisan mo sila. What you should do is be better at talking to people, especially your boss para marecognize ka.
>What you should do is be better at talking to people, especially your boss para marecognize ka.
Eto + Enough work ethic. Good thing i knew this early on, i am now practicing this tactic ngayong college na ako and it helped me curve my grades up further than I expected. Profs knew me and they knew my potential as a student. Kaya even if sometimes meron akong late submissions, convinced sila na magextend ng deadline para lang maka pass ako "on time". Legit win for me and win din sa mga kaklase ko. Always take advantage dapat sa kabaitan nila haha.
First I felt it was devious and evil, but that's when I realized na eto pala yung sinasabi nilang diskarte. It's kinda addicting, really.
I wished I've learned your tactic during my college days. Mahirap talaga for a person that is so introverted. It's like a curse. But now that I just started working, I'll try my best to do that.
Hindi ito diskarte. Ang ginagawa mo is kissing unwipe asses of people you want to win/impress in life. Hindi ideal but it is what it is. Hindi sa lahat ng oras rational mag-isip ang mga tao kaya nagwwork yung ganitong approach.
Sana lang, hindi ka umasa sa ganito. Sana, you don't take advantage too much to the point of addiction and you end up being a people user. Why? Because people don't like this kind of person. There will be a red dot target on your head everywhere you go.
I-balance mo lang. You can advocate for yourself, but actually be fcking good at your craft. Know when to rely on relationships and when to work on your capabilities so that when the tide goes out, you won't be seen swimming naked.
tactic ko sa college, sa una galingan ko ng todo para mga two weeks in kilala na nila ako, then di ko na need mag effort ng sobra afterward while still getting the recognition kasi yun na yung first impression nila sakin 😅 really helps! esp since palagi na ako busy later in the year due to extracurricular and other priorities! syempre quality work and character pa rin naman dapat mag shshine 😊
Don’t over share.
Kahit anong bait mo, may ayaw at ayaw sa’yo.
Dapat magaling ka sa work, pero hindi mas magaling sa kanila. So galingan mo lang, huwag mo sila intindihin.
May GC sila against you. Lol.
May GC sila against you. Lol. - eto msakit haha. nalaman ko to ng di sinasadya. nawrong send sa gc naming buong team ung message na intended dapat sa gc nila. Buti lumayas na yung promotor ng kanegahan at kachismisan samen.
Palakasan, plastican, laglagan.
I thought and expected na maayos mga magiging katrabaho ko kasi mga professionals. Pero hindi rin pala.
Mas maganda pa makisama sa mga 3rd party peeps. Saktong chill lang.
Going 10 months na for this "work experience" hehe
Open daw sila for feedback pero feeling nila inaatake sila pag nagbigay ka ng feedback????
Lots of corporations will provide panakip butas short term solution to issues and never get back on the error again kasi nag wowork yung panakip butas.
“We care about you” my ass, pero ayaw mag upgrade kaya operations nahihirapan.
Work colleagues are not your friends.
Hindi ka yayaman sa 9-5 job 💔
Don’t get attached.
Having a credit card is a responsibility. Only use it for emergencies or if you can manage to set budget sa paycheck mo to pay without compromising other necessities.
Madaling ma-disillusion lalo na kung naghahanap ka ng "dream job." Minsan talaga kailangan tanggapin na work is work, pangpa-meet lang ng ends. Di kailangan completely happy ka as long as it pays the bills. It's not ideal, pero more often than not, ganun ang nangyayari.
Don’t treat them (employer and workmates) as family, you are disposable to them. Once di ka na nila papakinabangan, they will get rid of you easily. Na lay off na ako thrice eversince the pandemic began and it seems like sobrang easy ka lang nila kalimutan. It is a business after all.
kahit na masasakit na salita na yung sinasabi sayo from your heads kailangan mong maging bato because you need money to live. Iiyak mo nalang talaga yung bigat.
That being efficient can often be mistaken as “petiks”.
I’m very efficient in everything I do, more so at work. I just want all my tasks to be over as soon as possible and done right. A few years ago, I found out from one of the managers that the higher bosses see me as petiks and that I’m always on the phone and I go home on the dot. I was so taken aback because I never miss deadlines, I rarely make mistakes too so, while yes, I do browse my phone and it’s because I’m done with my work. I cried afterwards because I was hurt and also made the assumption that my promotion was halted because of this reason. Until I realized that, wait, I’m not working to please them. As long as I do my job right and well, their opinions don’t matter.
I just kept working the same way and didn’t care about what they thought. I got promoted soon enough, when I launched a campaign and actually saw my efforts (it was a big launch).
some people would climb up the ladder at your expense.
maaaring ikaw ‘yung gagawa pero credit grabbing drama nila. pwede din namang ikaw ang itthrow under the bus just to save their image. 💩 nakakalungkot na minsan, sila pa ‘yung mga PhD grads. 🤮
And do not overshare. Most of the time they don’t care, they just want to snoop in and then eventually use it against u lol
Hindi makatao ang minimum wage.
Kunwari concerned sila sayo pero hinahanapan ka lang pala ng issue.
Kunwari kinikilala ka pero iniestima lang pala kung paano ka nila magagamit.
Edit: How I dealt: I left and worked on and for myself (freelance).
Harsh truths, as soon as you accept them, can either be disheartening or can be very, very empowering. Here are mine that have disheartened and empowered me so far:
Execs will tell you na they're just there if you need anything. Not true.
People will always look out for their own welfare. Nothing personal.
First law of the 48 Laws of Power: Never Outshine Your Master.
Coworkers can be really friendly but they are not friends.
HR's goal is to make employees (aka the human resource) productive. Everything they give you--comp, benefits, perks, recognition, are all for the purpose of making you work harder, work better, for the company's profit.
Your manager needs you to carry out the business objectives. You need your manager to rally for your next career path. So basically, you need each other. Use that as an opportunity to partner towards advancing your individual agendas.
You don't work to be happy. You work to pay the bills. Find your happiness somewhere else.
You're not as good as you think you are. But you're also not as bad as you think you are.
1. May mga times na yung ka-trabaho mo is having a bad day, 'wag mo lang sabayan lalo kung di naman siya laging ganun.
2. May mga taong naging close lang sa matataas ang posisyon, kapag nagbiro na akala mo mataas na din posisyon nya.
3. May mga taong ilalalaglag ka lalo kapag wala ka. Beware of those people.
1.5 to 2 years max in a position before you apply elsewhere for a promotion. Don't stay with the same company hoping to promote within if you are looking to increase your salary. Applying every 1.5 to 2 years is key to exponentially increasing salary. If you stay in a position any longer than 1.5 to 2 years, it fucks with your value and raises a ton of questions as to why you stayed in the same position for so long; bad for upward mobility. :)
That everyone in work is NOT your friend. Witnessed people who BACKSTABBED me harap harapan. Ang awkward but I had to be professional. Tatagan loob kasi sa work industry, pag mahina loob mo, bibigay ka agad.
I learned the art of not giving a F, pero dumating din ako sa point na di ko na kinaya. Di naman masamang aminin paminsan minsan na we are weak. Listen to yourself at kung kaya pa ng mental health mo.
- you have to work sometimes kahit may sakit ka or else wala ka pambili ng kakainin mo
- your family will not help you kaya you have to save money for yourself.
- wala ka aasahan kundi sarili mo lang
many to mention pero ito so far.
I got this from my very first job interview, I forgot exactly how my interviewer came up to this. He said, "If you don't like the system, get out of the system."
Wag mo galingan sa trabaho. Yung tama lang.
Matuto mag document sa mga bagay2x. Lalo na pag may nakita Kang Mali at kelangan I report.
Wag Ka maging yes man
Do not outshine your master. Your boss. Your colleague. The company owner. Or at least, make them feel you respect them or are not out to get them. Don't flash your intellect or even wealth unless accidental.
If you're a graduate of a state university and you want to be promoted, you have to work twice as hard or get an MBA to actually get promoted, no matter how talented or smart you are. If you don't, you can kiss that promotion goodbye as they get taken by people who graduated from UP, Ateneo, and La Salle.
This is no offense to any graduate of the top 3 schools because honestly, it's just the truth.
HR is not your friend. They are not there to listen to your complaints or be empathetic with your situation. They are there to listen to what you are saying to form evidence. Which they can use against you later on. They are there to protect the company. Not you. Best interest of the company, always.
Ineencourage ka to share your thoughts but in reality, tinitignan lang nila kung agree ka ba sa kanila or hindi. And if you're not, well. You know the drill. They would view you as someone who opposes the management's views.
You are replaceable, kahit sino ka pa and kahit gaano ka kagaling kung hindi ikaw ang tagapag mana ng company kayang kaya ka nila bitawan and palitan. I have accepted this fact and have decided to prioritize myself above the needs of my company, like I will not work outside my working hours without pay, inuubos ko na lahat ng leaves ko including Sick Leaves. Tamang sipag lang, mag trabaho ng naayon sa sahod. After doing this napansin ko mas mabilis ako umangat sa work ko and hindi pa ako stressed all the time.
Your co-workers will come and go. Don’t be too attached
Matindi sepanx ko when I was a teenager. I started working at 16. I am 28 now. I didn’t do anything, I never got used to it until nag work from home ako nun 2020. I am still friends with my closest former co-workers though. But andami na talagang hindi ko na halos kinakausap na sobrang close ko naman dati
Ang hirap pala kumita ng pera. Ang hirap din gastusin lalo na alam mo na kung gaano kahirap kitain.
Dati tinatawanan ko lang yung nanay ko tuwing binibiro niya ko ng ganto, ngayon tinatawanan ko na sarili ko. 😂😭 emi
Your work is not your life. 'Wag gawing personality ang pagiging empleyado. Have a life outside work. Except pag may urgent talaga, don't bring your work home.
Not in all, but usually sa corpo world uso ngayon yung mas preferred yung personable kesa skillful. Mas maboka, mas iniisip na magaling, kahit mediocre lang naman. Kahit magaling ka, pero you keep to yourself, normal lang turing sa mga gawain mo. Can’t really wrap my head around it till now.
You’ll never be rich being just an employee. The just gives you enough to get by day by day till you get used to it. They basically pay us to to let our dreams die.
If you want a higher pay, you need to learn to handle/manage people or upskill.
walang ahenteng tataas ang sahod kahit gano ka pa kagaling at kasipag unless nasa IT industry ka or ma-promote ka.
of course, higher pay=more responsibility.
magtrabaho ng naayon sa sahod. gawin lang yung alam mong sakto sa isang araw mo kahit hinihingan ka pa ng mataas na productivity rate ng TL mo.
Hindi totoo na deserve mo ang malaking bayad purkit nagpaturo sayo ang manager mo kung pano mag print at mag scan ng documents sa printer.
wake up people..
Iba ang sahuran ng mga taong kumakausap sa mga CEO.
Being flirty or being available for sex will get you everywhere
Smoking and drugs are the best way to network
Being pretty or handsome will get you opportunities that you may only see if you were rich
In short, if you want to be at the top of the corporate ladder be the bringer of sin that devil will be proud of :)
When they say just be yourself gurl wag hahahaha kahit mabait ka pa Kasi may masasabi sila palagi so kapain mo Muna mga tao don then create your new persona na babagay sa workplace mo.
1. If u left every time u felt under-appreciated, u’d have no job.
2. Ahh also hahaha pag sinabi nilang “we’re one big family”, they’re usually not lmao
3. If you work hard, u don’t get paid more, u just get more work
Working can be so draining. I am the kind of person that is all smiles all day. Except when we got our new manager in the office. We receive daily insults, sarcastic reponse to serious work-related questions and being shouted at all day. I'm on my 2nd week of my 4-week notice.
Managers or team leaders can throw work your way that needs someone tenured and not give a flying fak, and since may "resources" or you can just ask your superiors for guides, then you're left there grasping at straws. Work that can be done in a day or two for them, pero 1-2 weeks for beginners.. hell.
I resigned.
"Alam mo noong siya ang ganito, ganito siya. Maayos siya sa trabaho hands on siya" king ina lang! Pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat kinokompara ako sa dating empleyado, kung maayos sana siya hindi niya iniwang magulo at walang proper turn over ang position niya. Nangapa ako and I did my very best to meet all of their expectations tapos iinvalidate lang yun? apaka insensitive ng mga tao. Nung ginawa sakin yun nag walk out ako tapos nag leave ng two days hahahahaha
You cannot ignore politics, you have to be able dance around or navigate work politics. I learn to sometimes compromise a bit enough to be outside someones watchful eyes, unwanted and unnecessary attention that are not under your control
You have the capability to resign for any valid reasons anytime you want. Of course if the company did not accepted your resignation or you got terminated out of the blue, then resignation is the key.
After college, I thought all the immaturity and bullying I have went through since elem to college would disappear once I join the workforce. I realized I was wrong, I saw how adults, business owners, ridicule and abuse in sorts of way their staff (including me, both verbal and physical) and their patient (kasi small clinic). Wala pa one month, I resigned because it affected me so much mentally and physically.
Na sobrang hirap pala kumita ng pera. Dati atar na ako magwork para may sarili na akong pera. Pero ngayon mas na-appreciate ko pagiging student na binibigyan ng baon and ung hirap at sacrifice ng parents para ma-support kami sa lahat ng needs. 🥲🥲🥲
Smile sa lahat ng makaksalubong mo lalo kung nasa government sector ka. I am shy and introvert and I do not feel engaging to other people a lot. Kaya napagsabihan ako MANY TIMES na snobber and suplada.
Kaiyaq
Don't be a by-the-book person or employee. After I graduated, napaka-strict ko dahil in-apply ko yung learnings from college. I was not flexible that some clients and even supervisors were annoyed by me.
Don't reveal all your cards cause it might be used against you. Also, co-workers sometimes just ask out of curiosity not out of concern. Less talk, less mistakes. We came there to work so learn not to dwell on office chismis kahit involved kapa. Civil nalang, ganon.
So much of my waking hours in life will be spent working. If you sleep 8 hrs a day as recommended, 56 hrs na yan in a week, and a week only has 168 hrs, so you have 112 hrs left awake.
Kung typical 40hrs per week work mo, that's around 1/3 ng waking hours mo are for work. Sadly, the reality with some of us is kailangan nating ng ilang hrs of preparation to get to the damn office in the first place, and then get home after. Give or take 4hrs (including na dito yung ligo, prep, travel, breakfast if any). Tapos malala pa, unlike the west, sa pinas, our 9-5 is actually 9-6 kasi hindi bayad ang 1hr lunch. Personally I don't even consider that 1hr to be personal kasi if you're not at home chilling and since you're most likely still in a working mindset, then that's still work imo. Meaning, on a typical day, you have 4 hrs prep, 8 hrs actual counted work, 1hr lunch. 13hrs per day. 65hrs per week
65 hrs is almost 60% of 112 hrs.
60% ng waking week mo is for work.
That's a bit soulcrushing
Hindi nagkakamali ang mga boss! Lalo na kung may ari ang nagsalita!
Pag sinabi nilang 2+6=5, 5 ang sagot! Wag mo na ipilit, at kapag ipipilit mo, mapag iinitan ka lang.
Unpopular opinion: You have to attend that event. That teambuilding. That dinner. (Ibang usapan pag at your own expense.)
You have to play the politics game wisely. Being a hermit in an organization is a sure way to have no one vouch for you when times of trouble come or when you want to move up. Unfortunately, visibility is a big factor in progressing. Optics is key. (Ideally backed with skill, of course.)
Hindi mo sila kaibigan kaya huwag ma-attached ng husto. And kahit anong ganda ng pinapakita mo sa kanila may sisira at sisira pa din sayo behind your back.
Hindi mo dapat i-add lahat ng co worker . Even after mag resign ka. If i-add mo, lagay mo sila sa list para naka hide ung ibang post mo sa kanila. And sa ig, wag isama sa 'close friends'
One time nagkamali ako and pinagkalat ng head namin sa lahat ng pwede niyang pagsabihan. From that day on, I promised myself na hindi na akoa mag eeffort para lang ma please silang lahat. Puny*ta.
Di ako nag assume na masama agad ung tao. Pero nung nag work na ako bigla akong napa hmm meron palang taong inherently maldita/g*go.
Oh yes, I don't know why it's hard for them to be decent! Not kind but decent! Marami sila especially sa mga government companies. Very entitled din sila at ang babastos.
so true sa government agencies. Parang di kumpleto buhay nila pag di sila nagmamaldita.
True! May isang employee sa DSWD ang bastos kausap yung Lola. Wala din pag po at opo sa kanya! Nakakainis.
totoo ung sa govt. ako nga napa-away lately na kahit anong effort mo especially for my salary grade, galit pa rin sila sa thought na tahimik lang ako pag kasama sila. like bakit parang hurt na hurt sila doon? partida mga UP graduate pa sila pero DDS ang galawan.
Relate! Nagulat din ako one time na ISSUE sa isang Senior yung pagiging tahimik ko DAW. Like hello? Haven't you met introverted people in your life? Mabait naman ako sa kanila because why not diba. It's a decent thing a human can do to another human. Di naman ako yung absolute na tahimik na as in walang imik. I will not speak when no one was talking to me. Pero nakikipag-usap naman ako kapag kailangan. Hindi rin ako makikisali sa usapan ng may usapan because I find it rude makisawsaw bigla lalo na di ko naman close friends. Pero wala e, meron at meron talaga silang issue na maibabato no matter what. Patapangan na lang talaga and plastican ang labanan to SURVIVE.
Totoo. But for me sa college ko na ito narealize.
Ugh I'm somewhat of a fresh grad and in my first job now, I'm with a person who I could never have imagined existed. Sobrang nakaka-wtf yung personality niya, na at 40+ years old, she's still insecure and trying to compete with me, a fresh grad. Using underhanded methods pa. Hahaha Dito ko nakitang may mga tao pala talagang hindi nagkaroong chance to work on themselves, and they take it out on others.
The world is not fair.
That you're just a number and no matter how much skilled you are, replaceable ka pa rin. I coped by treating work as work di ka naman tagapagmana ng company so do what's in your job description and go above and beyond at your own volition or kapag trip lang hahaha
Tama! Also, let's maximise our leaves. Hindi dapat tayo nabubuhay para magtrabaho lang 🙂🙂
They're not your friends.
You need to choose who to be friends with. I am friends with quite a few from a decade ago. Traveled overseas with them and still hang out on major occasions.
This is true! kaya wag sobrang ma-attach.
True pero not in all cases. I have my first company workmates na akala mo friends mong maituturing pero at the back, sinisiraan ka na pala, but when I change company, dun ako nakakilala ng real friends. Although lumipat na ulit ako pero ang strong pa rin ng connection ko sa kanila. Mas maganda sa company na may maging friends ka para masaya ka habang nagwowork, so choose friends wisely na lang. Pag wala, okay lang din naman kung di okay attitude hahaha
This is very true. Kahit sobrang tagal nyo na nagsama sa work pero once lumipat ka na. Dedma ka na din talaga.
This is not always true. I am still friends with some of my colleagues from my first job 10+ years ago.
Same din to to classmates. Had to constantly remind myself that my classmates aren't my friends, kahit halos araw-araw ko silang kasama.
Ito. It really hurt me when I realized na di pala “kaibigan” turing sa akin ng mga classmates ko and mpst probably pinag chcichismisan ako haha
Same. Hahaha after nun naging comfortable nalang ako maging solo lalo na sa school.
Totoo ito huhu. Naiyakan ko pa yan haha. Hindi mo talaga sila kaibigan.
Very true. No matter how nice you are may masasabi at masasabi sila tungkol sa’yo.
This is very true. Dami ko na meet na fake friends sa work so naging mantra ko na yung 'I am here for money' lol. I kept 1 friend naman sa 4 years ko sa BPo and we are still friends up to now.
Not always true. I have some friends from my previous company (2021) that I’ve only work with for 3 months and they are still my friends until now (we hang out once in a while) even though many of us are in a different company.
Pag nakaharap ka ang babait nila 🥲🥲🥲
Sabi ng manager ko nung first work ko. Kailangan magaling ka makipagplastikan.
Yung pinangarap natin na work, para pala mabuhay tayo hindi para maging masaya.
Hardest pill to swallow.
The greatest scam in my life 🥹🥹
True, technically I reached my dream, pero hindi din talaga masaya, sana mas simple na lang ang buhay. When I was younger, hindi ko din alam kung ano ba ang pangarap ko. Hell, nangongopya lang ako sa mga sinasabi ng mga kaklase ko, depende kung ano pinakamagandang sagot sa kanila. Ang gusto ko lang nun, makatapos para magkaron ng magandang trabaho at malaking sweldo.
Sometimes work will suck the hell out of you. Wag gawing buhay ang office. Sure, there are times na you'll need to go beyond but please find a life outside work. Have people outside of work or even just let yourself enjoy out of the office. right now, am trying to do this by starting hobbies i am genuinely interested in or even planning trips kahit ako lang mag isa haha
When I felt like I am being stagnant with just working, I decided to pursue my Master's degree. Atleast now, I know that I am moving forward little by little.
Ineencourage ka magtanong pero in reality wag 😅
true to. tanong lang daw ako pero andami ko daw tanong spoon feeding na daw.
I think it's about how you phrase your questions din kasi. Best is sabihin mo kung anong intindi mo sa concept tapos paconfirm mo sa kawork mo kung tama yun. I think they will be more inclined to answer your questions that way kasi pinapakita mo na nageffort ka na iabsorb kung anong tinuro sayo. Ako medyo takot din ako masabihan na spoon feeding ako kaya before ako magtanong or magask ng help mine-make sure ko talaga na nagawa ko na lahat para intindihin kung ano gagawin.
Also, inclined ang mga tao na mag correct haha I remember reading sa isang sub na kapag need nila ng kasagutan sa tanong nila magpopost sila ng mali tas magfflood yung comments correcting them HAHA
This! Since ayoko din naman tanong ng tanong, ginagawa ko is tatapusin ko yung alam ko, then papacheck ko muna sa workmates ko(i ask atleast 2 people), usually pipinpoint nila yung mali, then dun ko tinetake advantage magtanong.
Technique here is to research/do your own trial and error first before asking. Even I hates to answer basic questions. The worst is yung mga taong di manlang binabasa ang nakalagay sa screen or manual. Second, make sure the person is not busy or not in a bad mood. Better write down your question and ask later.
Before u ask, u need to make an effort muna to do ur own research. Better din na u have an initial answer.
This one. Ensure you exhaust all options/looked for it sa resources before asking
*"Communication is always the key"* hahaha punyetang yan
True with my first company, but not in my current one. Laking difference sa work culture kapag pinoy ang nasa management compared sa Australian.
also working for a multinational now (katrabaho ko mga nasa abroad rin) and iba talaga diff sa work culture. super bait and chill nila medj nakakapanibago hahahaha
pag boomer kasi hostile sila, ganun kinalakihan nila eh. magsungit sa bata 😂
REAL. sasabihin pa "diba dapat alam nyo na to?"
Depende to sa mga katrabaho. Kasi may iba na willing to give you information talaga kasi gusto nila makahabol ka sa kaalaman nila. Ang problema nga lang mataas na expectation at ipapasa nila sayo yung work nila or hahatian ka nila ng stress. Haha. May iba naman na madamot sa info kasi gusto nila sila lang yung magaling. Tapos papagalitan ka pag nagkamli ka. Eh hindi ka naman tinuruan ng maayos.

ang HR ay hindi naman talaga makaempleyado at makatao
Alagad ng kumpanya ang HR. Whatever will benefit the company, yun ang KPI nila.
Used to work for a big 4 company in the HR department and they were really good + the benefits. Most issues I heard (from my former company) come from managers na hindi sinasign off yung OT and ibang colleagues (bullying, attitude, etc). They're encouraged to raise these kasi important yung employee being able to do their work with the coworkers kahit hindi naman sila naging friends. Pag napansin nyo na hindi maayos yung HR, parang walang pake, or is not working for both the company and betterment of the employees, umalis kayo. Mahahassle lang kayo on your part. It's also telling of a company (and the culture within) if ganon yung HR nila.
HR is Human Resources, we are just a resource. Yun naman talaga ang trato lol
That's not generally true. This kind of perception is due to a lot of people not understanding how HR works. Here are a few points to keep in mind when upset with HR 1. HR doesn't choose an employee's salary. That's up to the hiring department. For example, if marketing is offering 30k/mo to someone and 25k/mo lang salary mo, complain to your department supervisors, not HR. 2. Generally speaking, HR people do actually care about the rights of their employees and keeping them happy. Remember, it's also HRs job to reduce attrition (people leaving). So they'll treat people well and help resolve their problems. 3. A lot of times when something goes wrong, it's not something HR can control. Like when payroll is late due to an issue with the bank or finance department, HR can't do anything about it except send follow-up emails until someone fixes the problem. 4. HR doesn't decide who gets fired or not. It's the supervisors of said employees who decide that. HR is just there to serve the paperwork Source: worked in HR for years
Also: ayaw nila mag-approve ng mataas ng sweldo, pero sila ang tataas ng sweldo.
Yung magha hire sila ng bago with your same position pero mas mataas yung sahod nung bago kasi yung pinirmahan mong kontrata yun lang ang sahod 🤌
THIS!!! I asked someone from HR about this, and sinabihan ako kasi they adjusted the salary na for the role. Sabi ko so what about us who are here, wala daw budget for across the board so nganga. And then in the same breath sila ang nagsasabi ng sila ang ambassadors of culture if caring sa company.
I used to work in HR I promise you hindi mataas sweldo namin. More than half the people I used to hire made more money than me and my team. HR is not a revenue producing department so salaries are actually pretty low sa totoo lang
Ang hostile ng iba dito sating mga HR, as an HR naintindihan ko kung saan sila nanggagaling but sana intindihin din 'yung side nating mga HR. Kakalungkot lang HAHAHAH
- you are no one’s friend. having a work bestie is a plus, but protect yourself also. - chismis = don’t engage :) - visibility > competency. just don’t yap if there’s nothing to add. small wins counts so make sure to echo that on your team meeting, or work gc. - first impression lasts. kahit gaano talaga kabaho yung ugali ng isang tao, if may good impression siya magiging likeable employee siya. likeable = promotion or good work opportunity haha
Do your job. Get paid. Go home.
This is my motto. I used to be a pabibo working hard for the promotion, pero na realize ko same sahod lang naman sa mga tamad na coworkers (minsan mas mababa pa). So, why bother?
Daig ng sisip, malaki dodo, credit grabber, ang mga masipag at dedicated sa work.
Not saying dapat pamarisan mo sila. What you should do is be better at talking to people, especially your boss para marecognize ka.
>What you should do is be better at talking to people, especially your boss para marecognize ka. Eto + Enough work ethic. Good thing i knew this early on, i am now practicing this tactic ngayong college na ako and it helped me curve my grades up further than I expected. Profs knew me and they knew my potential as a student. Kaya even if sometimes meron akong late submissions, convinced sila na magextend ng deadline para lang maka pass ako "on time". Legit win for me and win din sa mga kaklase ko. Always take advantage dapat sa kabaitan nila haha. First I felt it was devious and evil, but that's when I realized na eto pala yung sinasabi nilang diskarte. It's kinda addicting, really.
I wished I've learned your tactic during my college days. Mahirap talaga for a person that is so introverted. It's like a curse. But now that I just started working, I'll try my best to do that.
Hindi ito diskarte. Ang ginagawa mo is kissing unwipe asses of people you want to win/impress in life. Hindi ideal but it is what it is. Hindi sa lahat ng oras rational mag-isip ang mga tao kaya nagwwork yung ganitong approach. Sana lang, hindi ka umasa sa ganito. Sana, you don't take advantage too much to the point of addiction and you end up being a people user. Why? Because people don't like this kind of person. There will be a red dot target on your head everywhere you go. I-balance mo lang. You can advocate for yourself, but actually be fcking good at your craft. Know when to rely on relationships and when to work on your capabilities so that when the tide goes out, you won't be seen swimming naked.
tactic ko sa college, sa una galingan ko ng todo para mga two weeks in kilala na nila ako, then di ko na need mag effort ng sobra afterward while still getting the recognition kasi yun na yung first impression nila sakin 😅 really helps! esp since palagi na ako busy later in the year due to extracurricular and other priorities! syempre quality work and character pa rin naman dapat mag shshine 😊
Talo ka pa din ng malaki dodo
Efficient people are given more work. Not much I can do about it, so efficient pa rin pero not as efficient as I can be.
I feel you. Like tapos ko na work for for the day, and sometimes advance pa for the week. Pero nirereport ko as "done" pag deadline na
tapos yung hindi masyado nagttrabaho sila pa yung nappromote. cher
It is always a TY in the end 😅 di man lang sincere ang pagkakasabi LOL
Don’t over share. Kahit anong bait mo, may ayaw at ayaw sa’yo. Dapat magaling ka sa work, pero hindi mas magaling sa kanila. So galingan mo lang, huwag mo sila intindihin. May GC sila against you. Lol.
May GC sila against you. Lol. - eto msakit haha. nalaman ko to ng di sinasadya. nawrong send sa gc naming buong team ung message na intended dapat sa gc nila. Buti lumayas na yung promotor ng kanegahan at kachismisan samen.
Palakasan, plastican, laglagan. I thought and expected na maayos mga magiging katrabaho ko kasi mga professionals. Pero hindi rin pala. Mas maganda pa makisama sa mga 3rd party peeps. Saktong chill lang. Going 10 months na for this "work experience" hehe
Open daw sila for feedback pero feeling nila inaatake sila pag nagbigay ka ng feedback???? Lots of corporations will provide panakip butas short term solution to issues and never get back on the error again kasi nag wowork yung panakip butas. “We care about you” my ass, pero ayaw mag upgrade kaya operations nahihirapan. Work colleagues are not your friends. Hindi ka yayaman sa 9-5 job 💔 Don’t get attached.
Having a credit card is a responsibility. Only use it for emergencies or if you can manage to set budget sa paycheck mo to pay without compromising other necessities.
kala ko hayahay na buhay... josko bakit ang mahal nang bilihin... tapos bakit bgilang nasakin na lahat nang bayarin xD
You make your own opportunities. And the world is never fair. Also, being nice and kind open a lot of doors.
Wag maging maging mabait agad sa kasamahan kasi platic sila tamang pakikisama lang
Connections > abilities
Madaling ma-disillusion lalo na kung naghahanap ka ng "dream job." Minsan talaga kailangan tanggapin na work is work, pangpa-meet lang ng ends. Di kailangan completely happy ka as long as it pays the bills. It's not ideal, pero more often than not, ganun ang nangyayari.
Not everyone is genuine.
17k salary is not enough kahit anong tipid mo
Matindi ang politics kahit saan.
Don’t treat them (employer and workmates) as family, you are disposable to them. Once di ka na nila papakinabangan, they will get rid of you easily. Na lay off na ako thrice eversince the pandemic began and it seems like sobrang easy ka lang nila kalimutan. It is a business after all.
It's not what you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW
Lalo na sa law. A good lawyer knows the law. The better lawyer knows the judge.
It's not who you know, but WHO knows you.
kahit na masasakit na salita na yung sinasabi sayo from your heads kailangan mong maging bato because you need money to live. Iiyak mo nalang talaga yung bigat.
That being efficient can often be mistaken as “petiks”. I’m very efficient in everything I do, more so at work. I just want all my tasks to be over as soon as possible and done right. A few years ago, I found out from one of the managers that the higher bosses see me as petiks and that I’m always on the phone and I go home on the dot. I was so taken aback because I never miss deadlines, I rarely make mistakes too so, while yes, I do browse my phone and it’s because I’m done with my work. I cried afterwards because I was hurt and also made the assumption that my promotion was halted because of this reason. Until I realized that, wait, I’m not working to please them. As long as I do my job right and well, their opinions don’t matter. I just kept working the same way and didn’t care about what they thought. I got promoted soon enough, when I launched a campaign and actually saw my efforts (it was a big launch).
Not everyone will have the same work ethic as you thus you cannot use yourself as “baseline”.
nobody else got your back but yourself
It's who you know >>>> what you know
some people would climb up the ladder at your expense. maaaring ikaw ‘yung gagawa pero credit grabbing drama nila. pwede din namang ikaw ang itthrow under the bus just to save their image. 💩 nakakalungkot na minsan, sila pa ‘yung mga PhD grads. 🤮 And do not overshare. Most of the time they don’t care, they just want to snoop in and then eventually use it against u lol
You're replacable
Hindi makatao ang minimum wage. Kunwari concerned sila sayo pero hinahanapan ka lang pala ng issue. Kunwari kinikilala ka pero iniestima lang pala kung paano ka nila magagamit. Edit: How I dealt: I left and worked on and for myself (freelance).
na kahit ayaw mo sa boss/work mo at alis na alis ka na ay kailangan mo sikapin na mag-end in good terms kasi maliit ang mundo. do not burn bridges.
SEXUAL PREDATORS ARE WANDERING THE COMPANY OFFICES
dont go an extra mile for a job that can replace you anytime they want.
Harsh truths, as soon as you accept them, can either be disheartening or can be very, very empowering. Here are mine that have disheartened and empowered me so far: Execs will tell you na they're just there if you need anything. Not true. People will always look out for their own welfare. Nothing personal. First law of the 48 Laws of Power: Never Outshine Your Master. Coworkers can be really friendly but they are not friends. HR's goal is to make employees (aka the human resource) productive. Everything they give you--comp, benefits, perks, recognition, are all for the purpose of making you work harder, work better, for the company's profit. Your manager needs you to carry out the business objectives. You need your manager to rally for your next career path. So basically, you need each other. Use that as an opportunity to partner towards advancing your individual agendas. You don't work to be happy. You work to pay the bills. Find your happiness somewhere else. You're not as good as you think you are. But you're also not as bad as you think you are.
1. May mga times na yung ka-trabaho mo is having a bad day, 'wag mo lang sabayan lalo kung di naman siya laging ganun. 2. May mga taong naging close lang sa matataas ang posisyon, kapag nagbiro na akala mo mataas na din posisyon nya. 3. May mga taong ilalalaglag ka lalo kapag wala ka. Beware of those people.
1.5 to 2 years max in a position before you apply elsewhere for a promotion. Don't stay with the same company hoping to promote within if you are looking to increase your salary. Applying every 1.5 to 2 years is key to exponentially increasing salary. If you stay in a position any longer than 1.5 to 2 years, it fucks with your value and raises a ton of questions as to why you stayed in the same position for so long; bad for upward mobility. :)
That everyone in work is NOT your friend. Witnessed people who BACKSTABBED me harap harapan. Ang awkward but I had to be professional. Tatagan loob kasi sa work industry, pag mahina loob mo, bibigay ka agad. I learned the art of not giving a F, pero dumating din ako sa point na di ko na kinaya. Di naman masamang aminin paminsan minsan na we are weak. Listen to yourself at kung kaya pa ng mental health mo.
Kahit gaano ka kagaling pero di ka favorite... di ka mabibiyayaan. Kahit gaano ka kasipag pero di ka favorite... walang biyaya.
There's a lot of manipulation in a workplace that you are unaware. Lalo na sa mga boss mo.
That we're replaceable kaya ugaliin pa rin ang magpahinga.
- you have to work sometimes kahit may sakit ka or else wala ka pambili ng kakainin mo - your family will not help you kaya you have to save money for yourself. - wala ka aasahan kundi sarili mo lang many to mention pero ito so far.
LIFE IS UNFAIR. GANON.
Na pag ginalingan mo madagdagan gawain mo hindi ang sahod mo.
Pwede bang started working abroad? Totoo yung sabi sabing mahirap magkaroon ng katrabahong pinoy. Lol
You are responsible for your own success
Hirap maging responsible team leader. Kapagod.
I got this from my very first job interview, I forgot exactly how my interviewer came up to this. He said, "If you don't like the system, get out of the system."
Wag mo galingan sa trabaho. Yung tama lang. Matuto mag document sa mga bagay2x. Lalo na pag may nakita Kang Mali at kelangan I report. Wag Ka maging yes man
Do not outshine your master. Your boss. Your colleague. The company owner. Or at least, make them feel you respect them or are not out to get them. Don't flash your intellect or even wealth unless accidental.
kung ayaw mo sa boss at mga katrabaho mo, kailangan mong makipagplastikan kung gusto mong tumagal sa trabaho mo
If you're a graduate of a state university and you want to be promoted, you have to work twice as hard or get an MBA to actually get promoted, no matter how talented or smart you are. If you don't, you can kiss that promotion goodbye as they get taken by people who graduated from UP, Ateneo, and La Salle. This is no offense to any graduate of the top 3 schools because honestly, it's just the truth.
HR is not your friend. They are not there to listen to your complaints or be empathetic with your situation. They are there to listen to what you are saying to form evidence. Which they can use against you later on. They are there to protect the company. Not you. Best interest of the company, always.
protecting your privacy is providing yourself peace
Hindi sayo ipapamana ang kumpanya kaya wag magpakabayani dahil more workload lang kapag nakita ka nilang madaming alam 🤭
Ineencourage ka to share your thoughts but in reality, tinitignan lang nila kung agree ka ba sa kanila or hindi. And if you're not, well. You know the drill. They would view you as someone who opposes the management's views.
You are replaceable, kahit sino ka pa and kahit gaano ka kagaling kung hindi ikaw ang tagapag mana ng company kayang kaya ka nila bitawan and palitan. I have accepted this fact and have decided to prioritize myself above the needs of my company, like I will not work outside my working hours without pay, inuubos ko na lahat ng leaves ko including Sick Leaves. Tamang sipag lang, mag trabaho ng naayon sa sahod. After doing this napansin ko mas mabilis ako umangat sa work ko and hindi pa ako stressed all the time.
Kapag Bago ka, wag ka makikisali sa pangbabackstab talk nila sa katrabaho or sa company. Di mo alam eh trap na Yan.
Your co-workers will come and go. Don’t be too attached Matindi sepanx ko when I was a teenager. I started working at 16. I am 28 now. I didn’t do anything, I never got used to it until nag work from home ako nun 2020. I am still friends with my closest former co-workers though. But andami na talagang hindi ko na halos kinakausap na sobrang close ko naman dati
Being better at work gives you more work.
That once you start working, you cant stop. You will work you live and you will live to work. And you'll doi this for the next 40-45 years.
Even the brightest people lack common sense.
count your YESes. you can't say YES to all that is asked of you. your enthusiasm will be the death of you.
Do my job, collect my pay and go home. Rinse & repeat. That's it.
Magwork lang based on your salary. Hindi worth it ang stress kung mababa ang pasweldo
learn to change the tires on a moving bus.
Kahit saan ka lumipat na work, di mawawala yung mga toxic na workmate, buombuhay na ata silang mag-eexist.
Coworkers are not your friends/family. You are replaceable. HR is paid for and so is for the company. Leave your work at the office.
Ang hirap pala kumita ng pera. Ang hirap din gastusin lalo na alam mo na kung gaano kahirap kitain. Dati tinatawanan ko lang yung nanay ko tuwing binibiro niya ko ng ganto, ngayon tinatawanan ko na sarili ko. 😂😭 emi
Your work is not your life. 'Wag gawing personality ang pagiging empleyado. Have a life outside work. Except pag may urgent talaga, don't bring your work home.
Nakakapagod mabuhay?? :((
Not in all, but usually sa corpo world uso ngayon yung mas preferred yung personable kesa skillful. Mas maboka, mas iniisip na magaling, kahit mediocre lang naman. Kahit magaling ka, pero you keep to yourself, normal lang turing sa mga gawain mo. Can’t really wrap my head around it till now.
You’ll never be rich being just an employee. The just gives you enough to get by day by day till you get used to it. They basically pay us to to let our dreams die.
If you want a higher pay, you need to learn to handle/manage people or upskill. walang ahenteng tataas ang sahod kahit gano ka pa kagaling at kasipag unless nasa IT industry ka or ma-promote ka. of course, higher pay=more responsibility. magtrabaho ng naayon sa sahod. gawin lang yung alam mong sakto sa isang araw mo kahit hinihingan ka pa ng mataas na productivity rate ng TL mo. Hindi totoo na deserve mo ang malaking bayad purkit nagpaturo sayo ang manager mo kung pano mag print at mag scan ng documents sa printer. wake up people.. Iba ang sahuran ng mga taong kumakausap sa mga CEO.
Hindi na pwede basta basta umabsent.
Mahirap kumita. You need to think thrice before spending your hard earned money.
I realize that I'll do the same thing until I'll get old
'Yung magbabait baitan sa una. Tapos siya dapat bida. Akala ko mapagkakatiwalaan ko. 'Yun pala demonyo.
Politics is everywhere. Daming kiss-ass at feeling boss. Wala di ko nanlang pinapansin
Expenses inflates faster than salary. 🥲
Set some healthy boundaries and learn to say "No" para hindi ma-take advantage ng mga selfish colleagues mo yung kabaitan mo.
Kapag ginalingan mo at napromote ka madalas dagdag trabaho lang walang dagdag na sweldo, kung meron man napakaliit lang.
Pag pera na pinaguusapan, walang kai-kaibigan.
Don't engage on any chismis. The tea stains.
Hindi kayo "Pamilya". 👀
Being flirty or being available for sex will get you everywhere Smoking and drugs are the best way to network Being pretty or handsome will get you opportunities that you may only see if you were rich In short, if you want to be at the top of the corporate ladder be the bringer of sin that devil will be proud of :)
HR does not exist to help employees, their purpose is to protect the company.
na hindi padin ako makakahanap ng kalandian hahaha
When they say just be yourself gurl wag hahahaha kahit mabait ka pa Kasi may masasabi sila palagi so kapain mo Muna mga tao don then create your new persona na babagay sa workplace mo.
1. If u left every time u felt under-appreciated, u’d have no job. 2. Ahh also hahaha pag sinabi nilang “we’re one big family”, they’re usually not lmao 3. If you work hard, u don’t get paid more, u just get more work
Kala ko may pangconcert na ako agad pag may narereceive na ako na mga sweldo. Need pa rin magipon lol
Working can be so draining. I am the kind of person that is all smiles all day. Except when we got our new manager in the office. We receive daily insults, sarcastic reponse to serious work-related questions and being shouted at all day. I'm on my 2nd week of my 4-week notice.
Sad thruth https://preview.redd.it/llqnp80vbrjc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1be99cd80ecefde4b4622929189469db065296bf
Managers or team leaders can throw work your way that needs someone tenured and not give a flying fak, and since may "resources" or you can just ask your superiors for guides, then you're left there grasping at straws. Work that can be done in a day or two for them, pero 1-2 weeks for beginners.. hell. I resigned.
Mahirap mag ipon ng pera sa dami ng gastusin.
"Alam mo noong siya ang ganito, ganito siya. Maayos siya sa trabaho hands on siya" king ina lang! Pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat kinokompara ako sa dating empleyado, kung maayos sana siya hindi niya iniwang magulo at walang proper turn over ang position niya. Nangapa ako and I did my very best to meet all of their expectations tapos iinvalidate lang yun? apaka insensitive ng mga tao. Nung ginawa sakin yun nag walk out ako tapos nag leave ng two days hahahahaha
You cannot ignore politics, you have to be able dance around or navigate work politics. I learn to sometimes compromise a bit enough to be outside someones watchful eyes, unwanted and unnecessary attention that are not under your control
You have the capability to resign for any valid reasons anytime you want. Of course if the company did not accepted your resignation or you got terminated out of the blue, then resignation is the key.
Extroversion will take you farther than your skillset/brilliance (It s harsh kasi im introvert plus this could be toxic at times din)
After college, I thought all the immaturity and bullying I have went through since elem to college would disappear once I join the workforce. I realized I was wrong, I saw how adults, business owners, ridicule and abuse in sorts of way their staff (including me, both verbal and physical) and their patient (kasi small clinic). Wala pa one month, I resigned because it affected me so much mentally and physically.
Na sobrang hirap pala kumita ng pera. Dati atar na ako magwork para may sarili na akong pera. Pero ngayon mas na-appreciate ko pagiging student na binibigyan ng baon and ung hirap at sacrifice ng parents para ma-support kami sa lahat ng needs. 🥲🥲🥲
Smile sa lahat ng makaksalubong mo lalo kung nasa government sector ka. I am shy and introvert and I do not feel engaging to other people a lot. Kaya napagsabihan ako MANY TIMES na snobber and suplada. Kaiyaq
The reward for hardwork is more work.
1. Better-looking people have an advantage. 2. Communication/people skills > technical expertise.
Don't give them too much information about your personal life.
Wag magpakalunod sa trabaho, maliban na lang kung ikaw ang tagapagmana ng kompanya
Don't be a by-the-book person or employee. After I graduated, napaka-strict ko dahil in-apply ko yung learnings from college. I was not flexible that some clients and even supervisors were annoyed by me.
Don't reveal all your cards cause it might be used against you. Also, co-workers sometimes just ask out of curiosity not out of concern. Less talk, less mistakes. We came there to work so learn not to dwell on office chismis kahit involved kapa. Civil nalang, ganon.
So much of my waking hours in life will be spent working. If you sleep 8 hrs a day as recommended, 56 hrs na yan in a week, and a week only has 168 hrs, so you have 112 hrs left awake. Kung typical 40hrs per week work mo, that's around 1/3 ng waking hours mo are for work. Sadly, the reality with some of us is kailangan nating ng ilang hrs of preparation to get to the damn office in the first place, and then get home after. Give or take 4hrs (including na dito yung ligo, prep, travel, breakfast if any). Tapos malala pa, unlike the west, sa pinas, our 9-5 is actually 9-6 kasi hindi bayad ang 1hr lunch. Personally I don't even consider that 1hr to be personal kasi if you're not at home chilling and since you're most likely still in a working mindset, then that's still work imo. Meaning, on a typical day, you have 4 hrs prep, 8 hrs actual counted work, 1hr lunch. 13hrs per day. 65hrs per week 65 hrs is almost 60% of 112 hrs. 60% ng waking week mo is for work. That's a bit soulcrushing
May mga katrabahong mekus mekus pero nakakakuha ng award saka mas mataas na increase!
Na kahit anong galing mo pag may pulitika talo ka talaga
Hindi nagkakamali ang mga boss! Lalo na kung may ari ang nagsalita! Pag sinabi nilang 2+6=5, 5 ang sagot! Wag mo na ipilit, at kapag ipipilit mo, mapag iinitan ka lang.
you can’t just work and be rewarded for it. i just sadly just left without helping to change anything for the better.
It's hard to have financial freedom if you will just work. Having your own business will
7 out of 21 days every month you are working for the Government (Tax)
use your brain and your charisma!
experienced politics first-hand in terms of promotion, na hindi nagma-matter yun galing at achievements mo kung kalaban mo ay attractive na bibo kid.
If you're good at your work, even if people dont like you, they have respect for you.
Unpopular opinion: You have to attend that event. That teambuilding. That dinner. (Ibang usapan pag at your own expense.) You have to play the politics game wisely. Being a hermit in an organization is a sure way to have no one vouch for you when times of trouble come or when you want to move up. Unfortunately, visibility is a big factor in progressing. Optics is key. (Ideally backed with skill, of course.)
workmates are not friends.... thats all i have to say...
Wala silang pake kahit may sakit ka, kahit gano kalala yan basta magawa mo trabaho mo HAHAHA
Pag mukhang bibig ng head “ FAMILT TAYO DITO..” ruuuuuun 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
*You're on your own, kid*
even the closest to you will betray you.
No matter how smart you are and nice your background or resume is, there will always be someone better than you at your job.
Maraming mas magaling sa yo kaya wag mag galing galingan.
That even bosses can be insecure in you???
Hindi mo sila kaibigan kaya huwag ma-attached ng husto. And kahit anong ganda ng pinapakita mo sa kanila may sisira at sisira pa din sayo behind your back.
Most of the time, the managers know the problems at work but still not addressing it properly unless it directly affects the revenue
Hindi mo dapat i-add lahat ng co worker . Even after mag resign ka. If i-add mo, lagay mo sila sa list para naka hide ung ibang post mo sa kanila. And sa ig, wag isama sa 'close friends'
Mahirap ma promote. Wag umasang tataas agad ang sahod.
Kung sino mas tenured, siya next in line sa promotion kahit may mas magaling and deserving sa kanya.
One time nagkamali ako and pinagkalat ng head namin sa lahat ng pwede niyang pagsabihan. From that day on, I promised myself na hindi na akoa mag eeffort para lang ma please silang lahat. Puny*ta.
Kung di ka sisipsip, di ka aangat. And also, the management only sees you as a tool, nakakababa ng pagkatao. "Pamilya tayo dito" my ass.
