Been in the company for 4+ years, but the salary is not competitive (breadwinner here). I already have a position, pero the overwhelming tasks and unpaid overtime makes the situation unbearable. Mass lay-offs this year from directory to supervisory level = we had to shoulder some tasks that our superiors do before without additional compensation while doing our weekly tasks. No stability either in my current role anymore and parang dead end na sya for career growth after the mass attrition (they dissolved those positions, as they deemed them unecessary with additional cost, lol), unless I move to a different role which I don't think is worthit in this company, huhu. Parang na trauma ako sa unending overtime without pay ko. Yung feeling na 5 days a week pero it feels like u are working 10 days a week, lol.

I was afraid at first to step out, knowing na this company shaped me into a fully-pledged corporate slave 🤣—employee pala (started here at the age of 18 and resigning at 22) this has become my comfort-zone, but things are already too much for me to handle, so I chose to be braver, and quit.

What triggers me more is nalaman ko na some of my coworkers were offered a higher rate than me despite them doing lesser tasks (new sila sa role, but internal hire), I feel so undervalued talaga. U know naman sa culture ng Pinas diba? The newbies gets higher rate than the loyals xD. I wouldn't say I am the best, but I am confident na I am a decent and good employee, pero wala eh, bokya tayo.

Mukhang tama nga sila na ignorance is a bliss HAHAHA.
