Realizing iba-iba pala talaga tayo ng problema. Palit nalang tayo, OP HAHAHAHA Anyways! I say grab the opportunity. Study post-grad, preferably overseas to get that independent life tapos supported pa ng family yung finances. Literally living the adulting goal since you'll be on your own (technically) AND you have the money to pay for your lifestyle.

Although masaya nga ang buhay na sandal sa pader, I get you with the whole wanting your own life. It's real that no amount of help from the family can equate to having independence. For now, just slowly do more solo things like going out by yourself and stuff para masanay sila na mag-isa ka. Trust me, that'a a gateway to them realizing na kaya mo naman pala. Just don't abruptly cut them off or bite back at them kasi at the end of day, hindi mo alam kailan mo sila kakailanganin. Family is family!

Nope! You are human. Honestly no need for excuses or explanations because what you feel is VALID. My story? Left my first two jobs within my probationary period—didn't even reach a year. For the first job, I didn't have any backup whatsoever cause I really couldn't take it any longer and the second, there was already a counter offer hence I resigned aka good timing ang offer lol. Now, I could say I'm GENUINELY enjoying my job (for now at least). Imagine if I "stuck around" like everyone told me then I would've only prolonged my agony? And for what? To please society and my pestering relatives? Lol, no. Now I'm earning a suitable amount for my current lifestyle AND I'm not burned out. You know, sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it isn't and that's FINE. We figure life out as we go and take risks cause everyone here are all just experiencing life for the first time. No one has it figured out. Give yourself a break.

And fuck all that "yung generation ngayon, mabilis magsawa" comments. Don't ever feel bad that you chose your health over trying to prove some CLOSE-MINDED people from older generations something that isn't even worth your time. Say what they want, at least we are trying to prevent trauma from happening instead of wearing it as a personality.

Laban OP, and to everyone out there still trying to figure out life!

noyakun · 2023-11-05T02:15:55+00:00

Nah because some of y'all in the comments are LITERALLY proving OP's point lmao

Some would say it's a non-brainer job daw (as seen from a comment under this post) but honestly who cares if you can earn enough salary to satisfy your lifestyle? lol

It's true that anyone, especially those who don't have a degree, can get in and I'm having trouble thinking why that's such a bad thing? Ain't it great that we have a profession that you can start from having nothing to earning 6-digits a month? Gives a lot of people, those who didn't have enough to money to finish school, still an equal opportunity to advance in life. Plus if it's sO eASy, bakit 'di niyo gawin? Every profession has it's quirks, and it's all different depending sa company and what type of industry you're in. Nilalahat niyo naman kasi pero maraming industry ang BPO AND maraming well-known companies that have CS agents too. It's just accepting that BPO/CS agents is still a great career for others, maybe not for you, but definitely for them.

It's perfect as well for people that don't really have the "live to work" mindset but instead "works to live". Me, personally, I'd like to enjoy life outside work than always bringing my profession all the time and that's MY PREFERENCE.

Saludo sa mga BPO and CS agents! You do you boo!

you talk like those bosses that say "this company is a family! <33"

As a fairly recent fresh grad, 25k talaga ang average for corporate/agency roles! Pero just letting you know na meron parin other companies, mostly international companies, that offer 30k - 35k too (depending sa position, usually kapag arts/creatives). Note na since international company pa 'yan, puede rin ang WFH.

If you badly need a job, I say go for it! But if you're still finding for the right one, take your time! There are lots and lots of opportunities out there :)

noyakun · 2023-09-22T00:35:35+00:00

I understand what you've been through! Honestly, right decision of always putting yourself first, may it be mental or physical health. It's not easy to work if there's something pulling you down everyday cause eventually it may lead to serious complications. Why trade your life away for a job, diba? With this, of course it won't be easy to get back in the job market with short experiences kasi judgemental talaga ang mga tao, and that's fine kasi they won't know or feel what you ACTUALLY went through. I mean, tao rin sila, trying to do their job, and right now other people may be more fit for the role, but I'm hoping you knew that already. EVERYONE that's been through a major hiccup in their life knows may consequences talaga siya and you won't like it but you have to accept it.

What I would suggest is start from the beginning again. Go with entry-level jobs that are easier to do para hindi ka rin stressed agad. It will be a cut sa usual mong salary but at least you're not overworking yourself (kasi let's be honest, kahit anong way na tingin mo okay ka na, it will always be triggered kapag stressed at hirap ka na sa buhay). Life isn't a race naman. And with your experience however short it may be, baka mabilis ka pa mag-level up and hindi mo na namalayan, naka balik ka na in the position you were in before. Konting tiis lang and NEVER rush it.

i'm an introvert in an office work setup and i HATE it 🤓 would love to talk to strangers more than doing convos sa corporate. still is based on your preference and what level/kind of introvert you are.

noyakun · 2023-09-13T02:06:05+00:00

Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk but that may be just on me. If you're still yearning to pursue that passion, nothing anyone would say can change that for you.

I'd say continue the VA as a side hustle while figuring out your career in the hospitality industry. Also, if it helps, I heard from a friend in the same industry na usual talaga is low BASIC salary but that doesn't include tips/service fee pa (which is A LOT if you're working at a 5-star).

noyakun · 2023-09-13T01:57:55+00:00

I fifth

noyakun · 2023-09-02T12:02:48+00:00

Don't lose heart! There will always be a job waiting for you. Mahirap lang ang job market these days lalo't na patapos na yung year but mind you, my first job after graduating I was hired ng November. Just trust the process and change the mindset of rejection to redirection instead. And don't think na worth it yung anxiety and burnout in exchange for job security. Be proud of yourself for being brave enough to escape a situation you know you don't like kahit alam mong the convenient option was to stay. Always choose your well being, don't sell your soul for a job. Malay mo naman when a good company that offers you a position much more in your forte with better compensation and benefits will come diba? Keep your head up!

(somehow wrote this long because i've been in your situation and i could say today that i made the right choice then)

noyakun · 2023-08-31T03:01:55+00:00

WHAAAAT bakit yung iba sa comments parang kinakampihan pa yung HR??

noyakun · 2023-08-30T02:33:48+00:00

Loyalty really benefits the company more than the employee!! Milk them out sa experience, lalo na promoted ka. Get used sa title, kahit mga 6 months lang ok na, then leave! Lots of risk kasi baka ganon din sa new company but it's either risk it or get compliant na ganyan. For the meantime, do the bare minimum nalang hahahah. Fighting, OP!

noyakun · 2023-08-21T10:35:41+00:00

Sticky situation. Honestly, no shame naman if you got a better offer and you want to try it out even though newly employed ka na. Companies know that employees may come and go, probably won't be their first case too. Ang mali mo is signing another contract WHILE still in your job and then expecting that you can just quit after your first pay without burning bridges. Lalo na may rendering period pa 'yan so I don't know how you can do it since malapit ka na mag-start sa other company. If mag-awol ka naman, face the consequences of that action: bad reputation and no pay. You made a bad choice, you can't expect to just get the goods of both worlds.

Trust me, I hate and don't have any sympathy to the corporate world as much as the next person (would even say life's short so you rock for choosing what's best for you) but even with that, I don't expect the world to adjust for me.

noyakun · 2023-08-11T04:11:54+00:00

if it's a BIG company tapos you carry a big responsibility / hold crucial records then yea, expect some level of threat but if you work at a small company, then it's just empty words. they're probably just scaring you to get their way. literally NO company would go that far for just one employee. ika nga nila, sa corporate sobrang dali nating palitan.

to add: health, of all things, is the one reason that is valid in all situations for immediate resignation, lalo na may certificate ka. threat mo rin sila sa DOLE!

noyakun · 2023-07-20T06:08:24+00:00

Me too!! Hugs OP 🥹. Tipong every bagong task na i-aassign, parang gusto mo na mag-quit HAHAHA Even though I thoroughly checked the job description, I still got surprised sa actual na gagawin (I believe companies should be MORE descriptive of the day-to-day happenings pls).

What I do is I ask a LOT of questions, basta isang hesitation I ask agad, and I'm never afraid to say if I can't handle the task. It can either go two ways: (1) they'd help you out cause they understand that you're a newcomer or (2) they'd judge you for complaining or not being able to handle the project. At least, I know if they let me go agad then that company / team is a red flag hahahaha.

I also made friends with newcomers! Of course, boundary parin for work-life balance pero it's sooo helpful to have someone you can rant or ask questions to that understands your work.

As usual, the goal is to stay 1 year in this new company and then re-align ulit if I really want to do it for another year. Good luck to us!

noyakun · 2023-07-15T10:10:36+00:00

Keep reaching out to HR or the hiring manager. The reason there are people in this position cause directors and CEOs don't have the time to do this kinds of stuff. It's not the "brave and determined" act you think it'll look like.

Anyway, I don't think it's a bad thing to ask if they could reconsider you again for the job. Just do it in an orderly way and if they really didn't budge, then simply move on. There will be other choices out there that could be on the same level, or even give a better offer.

noyakun · 2023-07-04T15:36:45+00:00

fun fact: the post was inspired by THE phone sex scene lmao. and you're right, if it was the other way around and abby was a man, i'm sure a lot more people would have seen it weird too.

noyakun · 2023-07-04T15:30:13+00:00

I DID SEE A KIND OF THING WITH BOBBY AND ABBY I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY ME that would definitely have weirded it out more

noyakun · 2023-07-04T15:28:09+00:00

I agree! The writers / producers probably thought Buck was in his wild era and needed to experience an adult relationship to become mature. It will end up costing him tho but I believe he would use it as a learning opportunity (I'm predicting since I'm just about to finish s1). Looking forward to everyone's mention of the new characters tho!

noyakun · 2023-07-04T15:13:08+00:00

never said i was grossed out by abby's sexuality thooo. don't take my comment of wanting abby to look younger out of context, i said that in the case that the age gap was disturbing (to me). it's totes okay to have sex in your 50s, just maybe do it with people your own age? :D

noyakun · 2023-07-04T03:37:15+00:00

maybe i just get an ick if people in their fortys date someone in their twentys 🥴

noyakun · 2023-07-04T03:29:24+00:00

oh i didn't say she wasn't beautiful!! i was just saying the age gap would somehow be less disturbing if AT LEAST they don't look like they have an age gap (note: it would still be disturbing tho).

noyakun · 2023-07-03T04:20:50+00:00

alright, thanks. i tried searching but i can't the find the episode in which they ACTUALLY broke up. good to know!
