Pagbati sa mga bagong graduate at maligayang pagpasok sa mundo ng manggagawang Pilipino. Helpful tip lang:

'Wag ia-assume na lahat ng clause sa employment contract mo ay enforeable dahil lang pinirmahan mo. May mga kumpanya na naglalagay ng provisions para lang panakot pero di naman titindig sa korte. Halimbawa, malawakang non-compete clauses, blanket bans sa pag-uusap ng mga empleyado tungkol sa sahod, 'yung 25K na bond mo daw na babayaran mo kapag nag-resign ka within 2 years, at iba pang mga provision na wine-waive mo daw ang mga karapatan mo under labor laws. Read everything carefully. Know your rights. Don't be afraid to ask questions before you sign, tuso ang marami sa mga employers.

Also, hindi mo kakampi ang HR.

Here's the story: I'm a middle manager in a small company. I handle a talented bunch and I enjoy working with them. Now, one guy has been asking for a raise and HR told him some months ago that his performance will be reviewed after 6 months. Today, I was approached by the operations manager who told me the boss wants me to recommend that the guy NOT be given a raise and wanted me to say because X, Y, Z. They aren't asking me to review his performance, they're telling me be the bad guy and recommend no raise. What would you do?
