Hi! Need some realistic advice from recruiters/hiring managers or anyone who has experience with long notice periods.

I’ve been with my current company for almost 8 years and I’m only starting to job hunt again now. I’m currently working in HR.

My concern is that I have a 60-day contractual notice period, kasi working ako sa tech company. There’s a possibility it can be negotiated down to 30 days, but that’s not guaranteed at depende pa sa usapan with the reporting manager.

Sobrang laki na ba ng disadvantage ko? Ang worry ko ay hindi naman specialized ang skill ko katulad ng mga nagw-work sa IT so baka hindi makahintay ng ganun katagal ang employers.

Iniisip ko kung magr-resign na ako in advance kasi gusto ko na rin umalis 😅

First time ko ulit mag-job hunt after many years, so I’d really appreciate honest/candid advice. 😊

Problem/Goal: Lately, parang sabay-sabay na bumuhos lahat ng problema sakin at hindi ko na alam saan magsisimula.

Context: Nasagasaan yung kotse namin kanina lang. Bukod sa gastos at hassle ng pag-settle sa nakabangga sa amin, possible pang ipa-casa at ma-hold for 2–3 months ang sasakyan.

Yung second-hand big bike naman na binili ko for my boyfriend a few months ago, nagkaka-issues almost every month at ang dami na ding ginastos sa pagpapaayos at maintain nito kaya baka i-let go nalang namin.

Sa trabaho, feeling ko hindi na ako maka-keep up at puro mali-mali ginagawa ko. Nagtatanggalan din sa company namin at nandyan ang feeling na anytime, pwedeng ikaw na ang next na i-layoff.

Hindi ko na rin maalagaan sarili ko. Ang pangit pangit ko na dahil lagi akong stressed, kulang sa tulog at may energy lang para mag doomscroll.

Ang pinaka-wish ko na lang talaga ngayon: sana wala nang dumagdag. 😅 Hindi ako religious, so I don't really pray, pero sana walang masamang mangyari sa family or pets ko kasi honestly, hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko pa pag nagka malaking problema ulit.

Paano ba maka-ahon kapag sabay-sabay lahat ng problema? 

Previous attempts: Wala pa. Too overwhelmed to function

Sa mga tiga San Fernando o malapit sa Capital Town po, kamusta po ang panahon at safe po kaya mamasyal this weekend? Mag go kart po sana kami sa Saturday, tsaka di ko po sure kung tama yung weather forecast ni Google.

Salamat po!

I’m currently working as a Systems Analyst. But lately, I've been questioning whether I'm actually suited for this career.

My role involves data accuracy, system administration, process compliance, and attention to detail, and I've made several mistakes in these areas. For example, I've missed data issues that could have been caught earlier, entered test data into a production environment while rushing to test a feature, and once assigned system roles without properly following the approval process.

What frustrates me most is that I often know what I should have done differently after the fact. I could have checked, followed up sooner, asked for help, or followed the process more carefully.

What I'm struggling with most is how to take responsibility for my mistakes without constantly beating myself up. I'm afraid that if I stop being hard on myself, I'll become complacent and repeat the same mistakes. But the constant self-criticism is exhausting and seems to make the procrastination and avoidance worse.

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who's experienced something similar, especially those working in systems, IT, data, or other detail-heavy roles.

How do you learn to bounce back and rebuild your confidence after making mistakes?

I know that life goes on and I must not be held back by my mistakes, but I always tend to carry my mistakes everyday.

I don't want to give up on my career. I want to understand what's making these things difficult for me and figure out how to work with it

Hi everyone. I'm currently working as a Systems Analyst, but lately I've been questioning whether I'm suited for this career.

My role requires a high level of data accuracy, system administration, process compliance, and attention to detail. Over time, I've made mistakes that, looking back, I feel I could have prevented by checking more carefully, following up sooner, asking for help, or following the process more closely.

What I struggle with most is balancing accountability with self-compassion. I'm afraid that if I stop being hard on myself, I'll become complacent and repeat the same mistakes. At the same time, constantly beating myself up only fuels more procrastination, avoidance, and self-doubt.

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone working in systems, IT, data, or other detail-oriented roles. How did you learn to bounce back after making mistakes and rebuild your confidence?

I don't want these mistakes to define my career. I want to learn from them, become more reliable, and understand how to move forward without carrying the weight of every mistake with me

Hi everyone! Ask lang if you know any coffee shops, creative spaces, or small events venues in Metro Manila na pwede mag rent ng small corner/space to hold a mini 1-2 day declutter/garage sale?

Any recos are appreciated, thank you so much! 🙏✨

I think this is one of the biggest things keeping me stuck.

Over the years, I've accumulated way too many clothes, and every time I think about donating or throwing anything away, my brain immediately goes, "But I paid for that." Even though I know keeping everything isn't helping me, it still feels like losing money.

I eventually ran out of closet space, so I stored some clothes in a bag on the back terrace of our apartment. It wasn't an area I ever passed by because it was only accessible by climbing through a window. Because of my ADHD (or at least what I suspect is ADHD), it became a classic "out of sight, out of mind" situation, and I completely forgot about it for months.

I only remembered the bag on the day we were moving out. There wasn't enough time to wash or salvage the clothes, as they had become musty, so I had to throw away all 40-50 pieces of clothing.

I still feel guilty about it - not just because I lost the clothes, but because I keep thinking about the money I spent and how my executive dysfunction contributed to it.

Now, every time I try to declutter, I get stuck. I want to donate clothes I no longer wear, but another part of me keeps thinking, "What if I could still sell them and recover some of the money?" Then I get overwhelmed, procrastinate, and the clutter is still there.

I'm planning to seek professional help because I know this level of guilt and rumination isn't healthy. I just needed to get this off my chest.

How can I move forward from this?

Isa talaga ito sa biggest reasons kung bakit feeling ko stuck ako sa pagde-declutter.

Over the years, sobrang dami kong na-hoard na damit. Tuwing naiisip kong i-donate o i-let go sila, ang una kong naiisip ay “Ginastusan ko ito.” Kahit alam kong hindi ko na sila nagagamit, feeling ko nagsasayang lang ako ng pera kung id-donate ko lang.

Umabot sa point na wala na akong closet space, kaya nilagay ko yung ibang damit sa likod ng apartment (about 40-50 pieces of clothes). Dahil sobrang bihira akong pumunta doon, naging "out of sight, out of mind" situation siya, at nakalimutan ko na nasa labas siya, for months. Naalala ko nalang siya ulit nung araw na lilipat na kami, pero wala nang oras para labhan o i-salvage. Nagka-mold ang mga damit, kaya natapon na lang sila.

Hanggang ngayon, sobrang guilty pa rin ako. Hindi lang dahil sa mga damit, pero dahil sa perang nagastos ko at sa pakiramdam na kung naging mas maayos lang ako, baka naiwasan sana ito. Sayang at natapon lang sila. Sana dinonate ko nalang.

Ngayon, gusto kong mag-declutter, pero naiisip ko pa rin, "Paano kung mabenta ko pa at may mabawi kahit konti?" Hanggang sa nao-overwhelm ako at wala na namang nangyayari.

Plano ko din mag seek ng professional help kasi alam kong hindi na healthy yung level ng guilt at rumination ko.

Paano kaya ako makaka-move forward?

Hi! Baka may marerecommend po kayong buyer or shop na bumibili ng preloved clothes in bulk.

I'm looking to sell my clothes in one transaction instead of listing everything individually.

Details:

• Around 300–400 pieces
• Women's clothing (mix of trendy, casual, office wear, dresses, tops, jackets, etc.)
• From small to medium, and some large pieces
• Clean and wearable
• Prefer sana isang bulk buyer or reseller

Saan po kaya may bumibili ng ganito? Baka may marecommend kayong ukay owner, reseller, live seller, or ibang shop na tumatanggap ng bulk lots.

Maraming salamat po sa anumang recommendations or leads! 🙏

Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone here has rented at The Flats BGC and experienced delays in getting their security deposit back.

I moved out in September 2024, completed my move-out requirements, and have followed up, but I still haven't received my deposit almost two years later.

I also noticed a few Google Reviews mentioning similar experiences, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has gone through the same thing.

• Were you eventually able to get your deposit back?
• How long did it take?
• Did you have to escalate the matter, and if so, to whom?

Any advice or experiences would really help. Thank you!
