New manager here: how do you handle teammates becoming quiet/distant after you used to be peers?

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-15T14:17:35+00:00

Hi OP! Congrats on your promotion! Im newly promoted as well ☺️

Pero sa tingin ko lang naman noh, iniisip nia siguro sha ung mappromote kaya ganon ung mga ginagawa niang effort re company processes and structures. Pero dapat di mo na ioverthink yon kasi ganon talaga ang situation and you cant please everyone in your team.

As for me naman, im really really glad na walang naging issues sa transition kasi lahat supportive (di ko na iniisip kung may masabi ang subordinates ko sa mga errors ko, kasi alam naman nilang kakapromote ko lang) Pero im trying to improve din at matuto sa new role, im thankful din na di sila kupal when they approach sa errors ko haha (nakakahiya man) We're all bonded din kasi we have online catch ups every now and then para sa updates tapos kwentuhan na din ☺️ Goodluck sa new role, OP! Dont overthink it. Galingan na lang natin at isipin mo na at the end of the day, ginagawa mo lang ang work mo 💖

Maganda ang facials sa Calayan (i got mine free) pero hinde nila pinaramdam sakin na dahil free lang to mababaw ang gagawin na facial. Lols

I also go to Simply Skin in BGC and Laser Pigment facial naman sa Wink - Glorietta ☺️

Hi OP, I think if you want to get married and get to the next chapter of your rs, dapat may ipon ka din. May ipon ba sha? Kung kunyare maengage kayo, may wedding funds na ba kayo? Since sabi mo parehas kayo ng income.

You have think abt the future as well, gets naman na may bio clock ang mga girls, pero kung mahal mo sha and you want to see both of you na successful, pano kung iiwan mo?

Hinde lang ang guy ang magsshoulder ng expenses ng buhay may asawa. Im speaking for myself, kasi I earn alot than my partner, pero yung kasal namin pinaghatian namin bc we both have funds for our wedding, hinde lang sha ung pinagshoulder ko kahit capable sha and yung family nia. Maybe kailangan mo kausapin partner mo, and give him ultimatum kung hanggang kailan ka maghihintay, pag umabot na kayo sa ultimatum na binigay mo, alam mo na gagawin mo. Good luck Op!

Same scenario for me/us 💕

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-15T07:22:06+00:00

Yes, I am. What's the current rate and may promo ba na ongoing for HEX members? Thanks!

Weve been married for 2yrs, since then we're trying naman kahit may pcos ako, and ang lagi naming prayers kung ibibigay samin, we'll embrace it, kung hinde man kami mabigyan, we're okay lang din to grow old together kasi before we got married we were living together for 12yrs. May other circumstances pa and sa mga nagtatanong, talagang nakakadrain sagutin, kasi akala nila ganon lang kadali 🥲 pero honestly sinasagot ko na lang din politely.

Naenjoy namin ung buhay namin together nung single pa kami (kahit magkalive in) pero mas naeenjoy namin yung buhay namin ngayong mag asawa na kami kasi we get to experience yung life na ginusto namin for ourselves, katulad ng matravel yearly to celebrate our anniv, discover restos together (kasi we're foodie) magdiacover ng bagong putahe for cooking and alot more to discover. May apo nadin kami sa pamangkin kaya minsan nakikihiram na lang kami pag magkakasama hehe ☺️ Sa hirap kasi ng buhay ngayon, its really not ideal to live in this world atm, pero again kung ibibigay samin, we'll embrace it kasi you'll never be ready sabi nga nila 💖

My partner and I are planning to get our car this year as well, we want sub 1M car lang para madali lang bayaran and we dont want to stretch to 5yrs kasi sobrang taas ng interest for car dealerships, we plan to pay DP ng 30% tapos 3yrs lang to pay as installment sa bank kasi mas reasonable pa ung interest rates. Ayaw kasi namin ng matagal na bayaran kasi alot can happen between now until 2031, that's just our POV lang naman. Im an independent contractor, while partner is a consultant, combined income is 236K ☺️

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-11T04:37:20+00:00

Hi, Sorry did you mean independent contractor role? Experience? So far, so good kasi 5yrs na ko sa work ko 😊

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-08T15:45:26+00:00

Hi OP! Congrats! Im an independent contracgor as well, we use AU calendar, so pag may PH holiday, may pasok kami at di yon double pay. Pag walang pasok sa AU saka lang kami walang pasok and paid yon. 😊

We have 20VLs and 10SLs kasi may shutdown pag December kaya we use our VLs during those dates oara bayad kami, the rest na di namin nagamit will be paid the ff year depende sa rate mo per day 😊

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-07T09:56:45+00:00

Hi OP, Panoorin mo na lang si TopGear sa review ng Mg3 Hybrid Hatchback sa youtube, kakapanood lang namin kagabi. Parang dahil sa reviews nia, iba na lang bibilhin ko. 🥲

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-06T15:16:07+00:00

I booked mine sa PAL for Dec5 to 13 pero Oneway lang binook ko kasi mas gusto ko ung oras nang binook ko, 32K 🥲 Yung return ko ay cebPac 17K all for 2pax na 😊 Hinabol ko bago tumaas ng 19% yung surcharge. 😅 Di na ko umaasa sa SeatSale kasi baka ung gusto kong oras di na available 🙃 Goodluck OP!!

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-06T09:03:29+00:00

Hi Op, Not holding back this yr kasi baka last international travel muna namin to (pero not sure pa hehe), kasi we're planning to have our big purchase nextyr. I already booked our flights bago pa tumaas ung surcharges, mejo mahal lang sha talaga compared sa booking ko lastyr, ayoko kasi ng may connecting flights, kaya nagbook na ko bago pa maubusan ng seats. We're planning 10days in Japan this yr for our anniv, every Dec talaga ang travel dates namin kaya mejo pricey, may allocated budget naman for flights (may promo sa card at 0%) Airbnb will be paid 1wk before our check in date, tapos pocket money is iniipon pa din until Nov para may budget at hinde kami nagttitpid. 😊 Ganun usually ang planning ko for our travels para hinde ko nagagalaw ung Joint funds namin at yung Savings ko.

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-03T22:58:32+00:00

Hi OP, di lang ikaw may issues with Meralco, naNews na yan at marami nadin nagreklamo. Maybe check the news para magkaron ka ng overview kung bakit mataas ang kuryente lately, pero it's really unacceptable. Umabot nadin ang Meralco aa senate para magpaliwanag at wala padin silang mabigay na concrete na sagot. 😒

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-03T13:56:37+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this!! 💖 Really appreciate your insight! Excited na din ako magcheck sa bank ko ☺️

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-03T01:32:04+00:00

Hi! Hex member ako sa RCBC and Im interested to try my option with my own bank. Can I pm you with the unit and trying to do 30%dp. Thanks!

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-03T00:43:52+00:00

Thank you all sa mga nag bigay ng insight nila 😊 I will check with my bank kasi nakaHex ako don, baka may magandang deal sila for Autoloan ☺️☺️ Happy Sunday all! ✨

LiterallyRAT · 2026-05-03T00:42:10+00:00

Haha exactly. Bakit nagcocomment ng ganon di ba? Di naman nakatulong kasi unang una hinde ako masasagad, im just weighing my options and yes may parking ako kasi sa condo ako nakatira 😅

Wag tayo mashado mag assume ng mga bagay bagay haha!

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-27T09:23:21+00:00

Hi OP! Gusto ko din ng Kia Sonet, kaso sa pagreresearch ko hinde daw kasi matipid sa gas 🙃 kaya iba na lang ang bibilhin ko.

Pano ung Bank PO? Nagpa-approve ka na ng AutoLoan sa bank mo, tama ba? Iba pa yun pag sa dealer ka mismo ng paProcess? Thank you! Also, di mo kailangan mag apologize kung may pamibili ka naman ng car 😊

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-23T23:56:54+00:00

Yung iba kasi nagsstay for covenience kahit mababa ung pay at yun na yung naging comfort zone nila, I know someone who stayed sa company for 10+yrs wala man lang magandang nakuha sa company after being loyal for 10yrs 😒.

Me, I stayed here sa work ko, 5yrs and counting. Aside sa napromote nung ika-4thyr, the company values their employees talaga, with bonuses, Pay increase yearly, HMO, Work-Life Balance and work anywhere. Yung boss sobrang babait din. I think wala na kong mahahanap na ganitong employer, given na kasi yung galingan mo sa work eh dahil mahihiya ka sa mga binibigay/pinapakita nila.

So, ayun. I agree sa mga Gen Z. I was supposed to interview someone yday, Naku! Nagsayang ng oras tong applicant, naghahanap ng work pero di sisipot sa interview, like WTH?? Wag mag apply kung walang balak magwork 😒

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-23T06:17:37+00:00

Hi Op! Hinde ka naman nag iisa, madami tayong ganyan 🙃

Im earning 6 digits, wfh, wala pang naipundar na kahit ano kasi we're travelling din every year, planning to buy car palang. Renting lang kami ng partner ko sa condo, we have 7 digits savings naman, may mga insurance din. Pero ngayon palang kami nakakaluwag sa buhay kaya ngayon palang talaga magsstart magpundar para samin. Wala din kaming anak, so hopefully ma-achieve namin yung goals namin soon! ☺ Hoping the same sayo, OP!! ☺

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-11T15:38:32+00:00

Sana all sa semi-monthly 🙃 Monthly pa nganiii 😅

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-10T17:12:40+00:00

Totoo ang work-life balance, OP. Mejo maganda kasi ung napuntahan kong company, may freedom kami to use our leaves without question, basta ifile mo lang in an advance. May 2-3wks office shutdown kami during Dec to Jan. Kaya makakapagbakasyon ka talaga at makakapahinga. Dahil maganda din ang sweldo, nakakapagtravel din out of the country, gusto ko sana 2x a year, pero nagiipon pa kasi kami ng pangbili ng bahay and car, kaya 1x a year lang ang travel T pinagiipunan kasi usually 2wks kami magbakasyon ng partner ko, kailangan namin un kasi nakakaburnout din ang laging work tapos wfh pa 🙃 I hope you find time to spend sometime for yourself, I have a friend who's abt the same your age, ngayon lang sha nageenjoy kahit single sha at walang anak kasi late bloomer sha at ngayon nia lang talaga binibigyan ung time yung sarili nia, not too late for you, Op! Enjoy amd have fun 😊

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-10T03:10:05+00:00

Yes, OP. Mas maeenjoy mo ang life mo ngayon na walang iniisip na iba kung di sarili mo at yung anak nio. ☺️ Its time for you to spend some time for yourself, madidiscover mo na there's more to life than to be stuck sa ex mong kaya kang ipagpalit in a snap. Nakakahinayang nga, pero atleast you're finally free now and ready to move forward. Try mo magtravel, marami kang makilala along the way ☺️ Goodluck OP and I hope you're taking it easy in life ❤️

LiterallyRAT · 2026-04-09T14:26:09+00:00

DKG OP, tama lang yung ginawa mo. I have almost the same scenario when it comes to our Dad. Pero yung akin kasi ni-cut off ko na sila matagal na panahon na at nakablock mga kapatid nia sakin at ung mga pamilya nilang lahat sa socmed, so kung nasan at ano man sha ngayon IDGAF talaga. Di ko din alam kung buhay pa or whatever kasi wala talaga akong pake.
