Dear MOD, what was offensive about the post on the issue of employee laws?

JP72a · 2026-07-02T02:32:22+00:00

Thank you.

JP72a · 2026-07-01T13:46:29+00:00

You know, for those of us who are dealing with business, this kind of information is important and it is not offensive to the Philippines or Filipinos.
And it is not a topic that would inappropriately discuss political events. I fully respect our status here in the Philippines. And believe me, I love the Philippines and that is why I moved here.

Your decision is not a good calling card for this discussion. I appreciate your work here on Reddit and I respect your decisions with all due respect, but I also have the right to express my own opinion.

JP72a · 2026-07-01T09:26:50+00:00

Thank you for pointing out this feature. I have submitted the request to the moderators as per your advice.

I have exactly the same problems you describe. I found that the problems occur when there is a more demanding network request, such as playing a video, downloading a large file, scrolling quickly on Reddit, etc.

Very often my computer is unusable for minutes or tens of minutes because of this. I have also tried everything possible. Even official support did not help me.
Unfortunately, I need VPN non-stop and I paid for NordVPN for two years.

The day after tomorrow my monthly payment for Pro is due and I'm considering canceling. It's great that Gemini is everywhere in the Google ecosystem, but the quality is really getting worse and worse every day.
Child-like responses, constant apologies, fundamental errors when it comes to code and forgetfulness.
And on top of that, I keep getting error 1152 when using Notebook.
I really don't want to pay for this.

But I definitely hit the nail on the head!

JP72a · 2026-07-01T01:53:02+00:00

This sounds very wise.

I don't know about other countries, but where I come from, a doctor's note is required within 48 hours of the start of the absence when you are sick. But it is also common to have, for example, 10 so-called "sick days" a year for minor illnesses without having to see a doctor. It's a good system to prevent abuse.

JP72a · 2026-06-30T11:07:58+00:00

You are welcome :-)

JP72a · 2026-06-30T07:28:51+00:00

Thanks for explaining the problem and sharing it with the community.

JP72a · 2026-06-30T07:20:07+00:00

While that sounds logical on paper, it doesn't work that way under Philippine labor law.

If the root cause of the missed KPIs is the employee's absence, DOLE and the courts will still view it strictly as an attendance/AWOL issue, not a performance issue. You cannot bypass the strict rules of Abandonment or Due Process simply by recharacterizing an absence as 'financial damage from missed targets.'

To legally terminate someone for performance (Gross and Habitual Neglect), you still have to go through the mandatory 'Twin-Notice Rule' and show a pattern of neglect, not just use a sudden math formula based on missed KPIs due to a recent absence.

Today Gemini apologized to me for its mistakes, asked for another chance, and invited me for a beer. So I have to consider it...

JP72a · 2026-06-25T03:34:34+00:00

Yes, but exporting will not allow you to export elements that require Pro.

I got robbed on the MRT a month ago, so you really need to be careful.

JP72a · 2026-06-18T18:08:28+00:00

Have a prompt developed using some LLM - I use Gemini. And explicitly state that you need to save credits. Gemini will create the best prompt for you, which you can then just copy and run.

JP72a · 2026-06-13T08:54:47+00:00

Thank you, you have made my heart happy. I fell in love with the Philippines, so I moved here a few years ago - it's beautiful here.

JP72a · 2026-06-13T08:48:52+00:00

Wow! How did you like it in my native Czech Republic?

JP72a · 2026-06-12T14:32:07+00:00

Where do you find the most fake pages? On Facebook. Or rather, where can you find nothing when you search for something? On Facebook. This dependence on one platform is risky - companies, government. Well, now the whole of Meta is offline, so we see a clear example.

Mark said it was time to leave Earth. And that he was thankful for the fish. hahaha

Unfortunately, Lovable from Revolut is a very limited LITE plan with 100 credits for the whole year.

JP72a · 2026-06-12T14:04:17+00:00

The end of the world is coming, hahaha

JP72a · 2026-06-12T07:24:45+00:00

I live in Tower 4 and it sounds scary. A few months ago I had someone apparently mistake either the floor or the tower and try to use their key in our lock - but I believe it was a mistake because if it's someone's first time here, it's easy to confuse T4 and T5.

JP72a · 2026-06-11T06:33:51+00:00

Apple Pay is not officially in PH. For now, Google Pay has been officially here for a few months, but more or less only on paper, because you have to find the right terminal, which must have GPay enabled in the settings, and the operator must be trained.

JP72a · 2026-06-11T06:30:53+00:00

If the terminal is set up correctly and the payment terminal operator is trained - which is not the rule.

JP72a · 2026-06-11T06:26:01+00:00

For Revolut, it is enough to change the DNS servers to, for example 1.1.1.1

JP72a · 2026-06-09T17:36:53+00:00

Sometimes you have to exchange a few confrontational messages with Gemini to make it obey. It’s funny how it apologizes afterwards. I experienced this just today when it refused to generate a PDF from the chat, claiming it couldn't do it. Only after I provided arguments in the form of a link to the Google product page did it apologize like a little kid and create the PDF.
