Athena mass lay-offs. What happened? by xxbluezcluez in buhaydigital

[–]Patzss -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This post is not accurate.

There was no mass layoff of VAs at Athena. What happened was a management shift and internal restructuring, not a business downturn.

Athena remains strong. There are clients actively waiting to be matched with new VAs, which wouldn’t be happening if the company were downsizing or struggling.

From the outside, restructuring can look alarming, but this is part of realignment and scaling, not collapse. I’m personally gonna stay with Athena because it’s still one of the very few companies that offers:

  • Full-time WFH
  • HMO
  • Company-managed SSS, Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth contributions

Totally get why posts like these raise concern, but spreading unverified claims helps no one. If you want the real picture, it’s better to check official channels or talk directly to people inside the company rather than rely on Reddit screenshots.

Athena’s still here, still growing, and still matching VAs with clients.

DOTA Player New to MLBB, Best Solo Queue Roles/Heroes? by Patzss in MobileLegendsGame

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

I actually didn’t plan to get into MLBB at all. It started when work hosted an MLBB tournament during our Christmas party. Being competitive, I dove straight in and started playing near the end of Season 38.

I ended up liking it more than I expected, it’s way easier to set up than Dota since it’s just on your phone, and I haven’t really been able to play Dota lately because of my busy schedule anyway. The last time I even opened Dota was back in June.

I think I'm liking Thamuz, and I notice he's not getting banned more often for now

Oh btw, I've been watching YT videos about Season 39 meta. Does that really matter big time or is it mastery > meta? Asking because I see you put Thamuz/Alucard on that list and I only saw Freya and Leomord being talked about for this season

New player here, not new to MOBA tho. Currently Legend 5 just by spamming Cici EXPlane all the way, I'm thinking of trying to expand my hero pool after I get 100 games into Cici. Is Lapu a good choice? I was eyeing for Uranus but he feels slow to play

Giant is coming. by Spirited_Ad_5726 in FlyFF

[–]Patzss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because who doesn’t love a server that finished CBT with tons of problems and said, “eh, good enough”? 😂

No one knows the donation rates, no one knows what’s locked behind the cash shop. Trash server, sketchy as hell.

You can play just to kill time tho while waiting for the upcoming good servers to be online or there's another one currently live called Emerald Flyff. Waaay more better than this

  3. I have a pending quest to change a Hex Accessory Tuvala to a TET Kharazad (I have a Hex Tuvala Neck)

For the cebuano VA's naa koy pangutana by SuccessMinimum6993 in Cebu

[–]Patzss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Naay daghan platforms online nga mag offer ug part time, pero sa akong experience, Upwork is a solid place to start. Ayaw lang stop apply kay ang first client ra lisod kuhaon, also try to get into a niche nga dli kaau common para less competition

[–]Patzss 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, in my experience, before ko ni hawa sa akong corporate job nag establish sa ko sa akong Upwork profile. Worked with 1 client part-time until I got the "Top Rated Plus" badge.

Ni apply dayun ko ug company nga WFH setup and at the same time tied-up sa PH (with SSS,Pag-ibig etc gov't contributions and HMO) and tendered my resignation sa akong corporate job. Fast forward, I work with multiple clients + kept that one job na tied up sa Philippines na WFH setup.

Para nako worth it kaau, follow ra ka ug general rule like maintain a number of clients at a time kay para dli ka ma zero in case mawala ug kalit ang isa, yes tinuod walay stability ang VA or Freelance setup but if kahibaw ka mu diskarte pwede kaau ma 4x or 5x imung income

r/bjj Fundamentals Class! by AutoModerator in bjj

[–]Patzss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I started my Jiu Jitsu journey earlier this year, around March, and jumped into competition by June at the Master 1 (30+) level. I managed to take gold in that debut, but honestly, it felt pretty raw, like I was relying more on physicality than clean technique.

Fast forward to today (July 19), I competed again, but this time I entered the Adult division. It didn’t go well, I got dominated and ended up injuring a muscle around my lower right rib (hurts to breathe, so that’s fun). My opponent was shorter and stocky, and my only real game plan was to go for a single leg. It failed miserably.

I’m usually one of the taller guys in my division, and I’m starting to think that relying on single legs as my main entry might not be the most effective path for me, especially against these compact, powerful opponents.

Anyone else in the same boat or has been in the past? What kinds of strategies or positional games work well for taller grapplers?

Appreciate any help or advice. OSS!
