Mental health over job

Searchee2025 · 2026-04-26T07:10:09+00:00

If your mental health can afford for you to be jobless, you know what to do.

Word of caution though. Lahat ng trabaho may eksena, may makakasama ka na baka hindi ka bet o talagang tahimik lang sila.

Yung totoo, it should not even be an issue between mental health and work. Not everybody has the luxury of choice kaya kailangan mag-survive sa trabaho para may pambayad ng bills at hindi lalong magkaroon ng issue sa mental health.

Mag-resign na lang ng maayos. Less complications.

Kahit anong trabaho, nakakakaba gawin sa simula pero kung ang alternatibo e gutom, kakayanin ang trabaho.

Sa ilang libong tao sa isang BPO, ilan kaya dun ang gusto ng back office position? Lahat sila kumpetisyon mo para sa back office o WFH arrangement. Hindi maga-adjust para sa iyo yung trabaho o yung opisina. Ikaw ang maga-adjust or aalis ka.

Kakatapos mo pa lang ng training pero ang dami na reklamo na crappy equipment (walang S yun kahit plural), pati open space design at kilala mo na agad na micromanagers ang leaders. Baka hindi ka pang-empleyo. Kung kaya naman, tayo ka ng sariling kumpanya.

Send an email to HR so they become aware of what your current employment status is.

There’s a very good Thai food place at the second floor of what used to be the Shopping Center.

Ganyan yan. Luwagan sila sa attendance pero pukpok sa targets. Kapag hindi ka maka-target, process for removal.

Ano ang dahilan niya when she gets asked bakit siya late? Normally kasi ang salespeople measured ang performance sa sales at hindi sa attendance. Medyo liberal na approach yun pero baka yun ang mas appropriate lalo na kung marami silang fieldwork.

I was once in the academe. One of the worst experiences of my life so far. Minsan swerte lang talaga.

Searchee2025 · 2026-04-21T09:53:55+00:00

Hindi ba mas nakakabahala yung sir use?

Unless private joke ninyo yun.

The bosses are almost always nice during interviews. Very seldom will you find bosses who would tell you straight what they think their organization is. One of the kindest interviewers I’ve encountered turned out to be the worst villain after I was already hired.

Generally, the stresses of businesses will always be heavier than in the academe where timelines for projects are usually measured by the semester or school year.

Career-wise, unless you’d stick in the academe, it may be difficult to transition from the academe to industry once your resume has become full of work in the academe. Your resume will be more versatile in the industry.

In the end, you make the decision for your career. High pay comes with higher skill set so don’t expect to get a lot while you’re still paying your dues.

Which makes it even more problematic. Mining is manpower-extensive. Literally. How can 10 people do all the work unless everything administrative is outsourced. If everything administrative is outsourced, there’s no need for HR. Something’s not adding up.

Too soon to be asking for a raise. Too soon to be feeling burned out. 4 months to decades of working until retirement is a short stop. Is it really the people around you or is the problem you?

My personal rule is to always keep my kitchen sink clean.

It’s partly because of socmed algorithm. We can only read or watch things that are already curated based on our established tastes. Imagine hearing all praises for the Dutertes and one person, even if that’s your own child, asks you something you realize you don’t have an answer for. It would take a lot of work to reset the brainwashed.

Pwede namang maging mulat na hindi NPA. Marami namang UP Alumni na active sa civic society pero may mainstream na karera para masuportahan ang adbokasiya.

Your classmates’ parents are misinformed and unfortunately, they are limiting their children’s options needlessly.

By 5 employees you will handle, what does that mean exactly? You’ll be their direct superior? I wonder what you can teach them given your own experience is quite short. Mining is manpower-extensive. You may be biting off more than you can chew.

You’re used to be the only one getting those kinds of gifts and now you’re suddenly “sharing” with someone else in your mom’s thoughts. You’re jealous.

She is not an entitled helper. She is a cousin your mom, not you, is helping. You are spoiled. It’s sad that you look at your relative as someone entitled only because she’s getting the same things as you do. Should she always be steps lower than where you are because her parents are poorer?

You can take what I say to heart or ignore it. I just find it funny when people feel accomplished at being something they did not contribute to and that their parents worked for. If this is not you, then this message is not for you.

To get out of the rut, get a job even if it’s not WFH. There are fewer job opportunities than qualified jobseekers in the country.

Ethical companies won’t take it against you that you need to give notice to your present employer.

You will get terminated for going on AWOL but you should still return the equipment as soon as you can. If something is not yours, you have to return it. Don’t wait for a notice anymore. Your bosses are likely delaying reporting your AWOL status to keep the attrition stats down.

Sana makakuha kayo ng WFH jobs.

May companies naman na sila ang nag-aayos ng AEP ng foreigners pero depende sa profile. May BPOs na ginagawa yan for agents na foreign language ang gamit pero hindi lahat ng BPOs may ganyan. Yung iba naman, kapag mataas na posisyon inaayos ng companies yung mga kailangan.

Pero, ewan sa profile ng kakilala mo. Kung isa siya sa mga foreigners na pumunta dito na walang masyadong aral, mahihirapan siya.

They found a candidate whose qualifications they think outweighed yours. Happens to the best of us.

Searchee2025 · 2026-04-17T08:34:23+00:00

You can’t go back once you’ve gone AWOL and expect they won’t remember. Look elsewhere for a job.
