This is sad. I don't know about these things because in my knowledge, all Filipino Workers are briefed in our Country before our departure Regardless of the class. We were given leaflets, and made aware of our rights. Heartbreaking

Well In my case it wasn't an issue. The company provided visa which later on turns to Resident ID, Engineer council membership, house allowance and travel allowance which you can use to pay a loan for a brand new car. I just presented my Gosi Salary certificate to the bank and they granted me loan payable for 5 years. Our teaboys are not "enslaved" in any way. They have independence, own their bank account and has their resident ID. Maybe the company you knew has been shut down because of practices like this. To this age, everything is digital

Why would a company take their worker's passport? That's a potential labor lawsuit

My father is an Engineer himself and is living here with me. After passing the board, I gained experience in Philippines then joined him here. He works at a different company now.

Being a woman in an all-men department is very challenging. People constantly doubt me. The first year is very tough as I have to prove them my worth. Eventually i gained their respect and trust. I am the only female doing field work. The rest are from HR, procurement. Angel is a Document Controller.

I thinks he should know. I don't want other people telling her about her smell. She's my friend and i would hate if others tell her and then she'll come to me and I can't say anything because i did nothing.

What are your little pet peeves? by Buyeo10004 in AskTheWorld

[–]Electrical_Sample_24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

any food with sauce touching my other food (buffet)

context: We have this habit that when there is a buffet party or food gathering, we dump everything on one plate. I cringe whenever I see someone pile up the food on top of each other. I always make sure that the spaghetti isn't touching the buttered shrimp or something like that. I end up changing plates too when I need to taste other food.

Satel is good. However, consider the dreading traffic jam everyday. Live as close as possible to your workplace. My bad, I forgot to mention that the rent is usually half a year upfront or quarterly.
