I just gave up a job offer that required me to go to the office every day.

Sayang talaga. Okay yung salary, may allowances in cash, and the bonuses could even bring it up to a 16th month pay.

Bakit ko tinanggihan?

Kasi sa tindi ng baha at ulan sa Metro Manila, narealize ko na privilege din pala ang makapag-WFH. Iba yung peace of mind na hindi mo na kailangang makipagsapalaran sa pagcommute araw-araw para lang makapunta sa office.

Valuable din ang oras at peace of mind mo, na hindi rin sila nasusukat ng pera.

Siguro sayang yung offer, but I guess choosing what gives you peace is also a form of choosing yourself.

Pansin ko lang, ang daming active na GCash employees here, both current and former. Haha!

So, curious lang din ako:
- Which industry are you in now?
- Did you take a pay cut, or did you actually get a better offer?

Share your stories and give us some hope, especially for those who are still currently in GCash and nagtitiis na lang every day, waiting for the day na masampal ulit ng salapi. 🤑

Asking for a friend. Lol.

San ba galing yan salitang yan. Nakakairita! Di naman nakaka cute.

Ganito ba talaga sa corporate world?

Parang kailangan mong i-manage hindi lang ang trabaho mo, kundi pati ego ng bosses at expectations, thoughts, at opinions ng mancom. Too much politics!

Gusto ko lang naman gawin nang maayos yung trabaho ko. Minsan, mas nakakapagod pa yung emotional toll kaysa sa actual work eh.

I heard there would be 3 rounds of final interview with case studies.

Any tips and/or guidelines?

I’ve had five bosses throughout my career.

Two of them were micromanagers, and I’ve realized that I don’t thrive in that kind of environment.

I know I can do my job well, but micromanagement makes me second-guess myself.

The first time I experienced it, I burned out and resigned without a backup plan.

Now I’m dealing with it again, and honestly, it’s mentally exhausting.

I’m genuinely wondering: is resigning and finding a healthier work environment the only option?
