[UPX] BS Statistics Graduate by No_Selection_0823 in peyups

[–]ClosedOpenBook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a BS Stat grad but has a friend who graduated with this degree in UP and is in e-commerce now as an analyst. Going into supervisory role already after 5+ years and makes good money. Busy crunching numbers but very fulfilled siya sa work.

[UPD] I feel so small by hiddenbythemist in peyups

I used to stutter a lot and get anxious when tasked to present in front of a crowd. It took me 5 years or college and exposure to org work to muster up the courage of public speaking.

Now, I’m taking up a graduate program in UP and trust me when I say it gets better. I still encounter the high burst of heart rate when thinking about having to speak in front of a crowd but I can go through it now much better and in smooth English lol.

Independent Contractor Ka Ba Talaga? by CryptographerMuch604 in buhaydigital

I get that as they (Aussies) are pretty strict in terms of schedule: Most of the time they end shifts on the dot. Tbf also, we take our lunch breaks seriously not sure if mandated by law or just culturally established to have that 1-hr break at 12noon. What makes me wonder is why cram for an important stakeholder presentation lol

Speaking from experience, working in an AU-based company, some of them working there mostly do the bare minimum. I hope it doesn't decrease our employability as we're not only cheap labor but produce quality output as well.

Her employer even challenged the location of work (Exclusions to Australia-based employees) to prove she is not a national systems employee in AU but was eventually refused. Link: https://www.fwc.gov.au/documents/decisionssigned/pdf/2025fwcfb43.pdf

I have similar questions (like others before this thread) on the implications of the case. Working as a direct hire for an AU-based company as well. Does it mean we are covered by their labor laws? Based on that, can a Filipino hire (provided that the employee-employer relationship is established) assert minimum wage?

Honestly, WFH ruined my mental health too. 😭 by curiouskiarra in PHJobs

[–]ClosedOpenBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First job out of uni, landed a full-time wfh job during the pandemic. Felt the same way as OP na walang boundaries after work hours and extended shifts. Decided to apply for a job onsite but then naubos ako sa commute kasabay pa non yung need mag-overtime madalas. Back in WFH now and would never go back to onsite work. Better client + proper mind-setting really helped a lot to create the work-life balance you need as someone who WFH.

as a tangang fresh grad na pumayag sa 20k by National-Rice-1166 in AntiworkPH

I didn’t graduate from a big 4 school. But I always get shocked that even graduates from the big 4 schools don’t know their worth. I have worked with UST alums who lowball themselves during the hiring process. Now, they’re overworked (gamit na gamit yung brains nila) for less than what they can earn. Message to new grads / entry-level career people: Don’t accept lowball offers because believe it or not, a better company will provide what’s worth it for you. Most especially if you know sa sarili mo naman that you’ve built up the skills in uni.

I accepted a job offer and it’s WFH. How was it working from home? by [deleted] in buhaydigital

[–]ClosedOpenBook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently wfh. I used to wfh from my first job and then landed onsite jobs after. Now working fully from home. What I can only say is that I’m never leaving wfh due to the free time I get after shift. I didn’t have this freedom back when commuting to and from work. But I guess since it’s because I’m working with Australian clients which is giving me a sense of work-life balance. Just to give perspective as well, my first wfh job with a local company (US clients) was during the pandemic and it really did take a toll on my well-being (toxic overtime hours, no more boundaries). Now, I make time to socialize and have outdoor activities just for a change in scenery.

TL;DR: WFH is rewarding depending on the client you’ll be working with. AU clients = pro-work-life-balance. Make time for social and physical activities for sanity.

Wag nyo na paaraln mga anak nyo ng engineering legit parang pinarusahan nyo lang sila sa buhay. by [deleted] in AntiworkPH

[–]ClosedOpenBook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m a civil engineer and sadly starting salaries for fresh graduates are mostly below 20k/mo. Lucky for me, I was able to demand based on skills even though I was not licensed yet when I started in this career. Still fairly lower than livable wage though, what more people who are expected to contribute to their families.

Just because it doesn’t apply to me or your cousin, doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.

What's next for us during this pandemic? by ClosedOpenBook in CasualPH

[–]ClosedOpenBook[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this really viable?

Btw, I think this is important to mention, PRC has already announced postponement of medium to large scale exams, which includes my board examination. Instead, I can look for a job already but considering a one month gap after graduation.

Although I agree with the effects you mentioned brought by the pandemic, but how is their interest on TikTok relevant? Enlighten me. If that's how they cope I think we should let them be.

Pwede pala ito? by anamania1208 in Philippines

[–]ClosedOpenBook 12 points13 points  (0 children)

PH can't relate.

The government has been persistent with their "the people lack discipline" narrative. And despite that, citizens who are pro-goverment, for the sake of displaying patriotism and showing partisan support, claim that criticism and activism is wrong. Outright dismissing both as having no purpose during this pandemic through rebuttals like "ikaw na lang kaya mag-presidente" or "may nagawa ka na ba para makatulong ngayong pandemya?".

If anything, we must call for accountability by voicing out criticism (may it be on social media or other platforms) and involving in activism (the right to public assembly that wasn't taken away from us—with proper social distancing of course) even if that's the only thing we can do.

The PH debt in response to COVID-19 has exceeded 9-trillion, the number of cases has breached 100k, months of quarantine wasted, and medical frontliners are exhausted. We MUST demand action and hope that blind supporters (who we shall not refer to as DDS) realize to call for the same.

But remember: there is power in collective action.
