Problem/Goal: Had my PEME yesterday and it has findings

Context: I am really nervous, I already signed contract but yesterday I had my PEME and 'yung xray may findings. Ito po findings:

PTB, RIGHT
MINIMAL PLEURAL EFFUSION OR THICKENING, LEFT SULCUS

I don't have TB history, I just had my asthma when I was younger. Sa current company ko, always findings siya during PEME/APE but they just require me to get clearance from pulmo. I dont know sa prospect company ko if mahigpit sila. Would this be a ground for them to retract the contract? Kinakabahan ako kasi nag resign na ako sa current work ko huhu.

Hello everyone, to those who are working in Innodata. Can I have the names po of those who are handling the salary and those responsible sa aming freelancers? I’m planning to report them to DOLE due to wrong and insufficient wages plus hindi sila nasunod sa kontrata. All I have is the name of the TL’s and people from agency pero alam ko mas may responsible pa dito, I just need the name. Please dm me.

Hi, ask ko lng if normal ba na wala akong natatanggap na update or kahit na anong letter from respondent or NLRC? last april 2025 deadline of submission ng posistion paper. May 2025 ng follow up ako, hindi daw nka submit si respondent ng posistion paper.Need ko na ba ulit mg follow up sa NLRC?

I recently learned that the NCR minimum wage will increase by ₱60 this July, with the remaining ₱25 to follow later. While that's good news for many workers, it also made me think about another issue. I'm a regular employee in a private company in Parañaque, yet every time there's a regular holiday and I don't work, the day is deducted from my salary. From what I understand, regular employees are generally entitled to holiday pay on regular holidays, Now I'm wondering: if our company isn't following the holiday pay policy, what assurance do employees have that the additional ₱60 wage increase will also be implemented? what will happened if they didnt follow thru it

The worst agency.

They cater to clients hand and foot with zero regard for their contractors.

One perk of staying friendly with other Hire Overseas contractors: you hear all the stories.

Check their Glassdoor reviews to learn more. A lot of red flags and apparently they’re telling (more like forcing) all their contractors to leave positive reviews.

One of the company’s founders interviewed me and actually told me I was boring him with my answers! completely unprofessional! He’s like a toddler playing CEO.

This company isn’t going to last.

Obligatory throwaway account disclaimer, blah blah blah...

I've been in this industry for over 30 years, with the last 20 spent in my current line of work. During that time, I've managed to avoid most of the office politics and have been fortunate enough to work in organizations where people were generally treated with respect, i.e. not a Filipino work culture.

A few months ago, I accepted what looked like a great opportunity. As it turns out, the old saying still applies: if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Apparently, my compensation package included a few extras that weren't mentioned during the interviews:

• A micromanaging manager who changes direction so often that keeping up is nearly impossible.
• A workplace culture where declining after-hours social activities is somehow viewed as a lack of commitment.
• Leadership that seems far more concerned about NPS scores than the people responsible for achieving them.

In more than two decades, I've never had my professional confidence shaken the way it has been over the past three months. Funny how even the most experienced employees can start questioning themselves when they're in the wrong environment.

I've always known a good salary and an impressive job title mean very little if the workplace itself is unhealthy. It's funny how I'm being reminded of it right now.

May TL kami na talagang abusive sa mga hawak nya. Lalo na pag may pinapagawa sa aming task na kailangan i-present sa boss nya.

Question: puede ko ba i-decline ung pinapagawa ng task on the basis na:

1. Wala sya sa contrata namin. Ang catch-all phrase sa contract namin ay: "and other ad-hoc tasks". Hindi na ad-hoc ung task na ito kasi may naka rotation na kami, monthly at planned, hindi rin urgent. It's the opposite of ad-hoc.

Ung task na pinapagawa sa amin ay "Notifications" at kailangan Comms skills para mag draft ng tamang salita. Eh mga technicians kami, hindi naman nakasaad sa contract namin ito at wala din sa job ad nung nag apply ako sa company.

2. Habang ginagawa ung task sinisigawan at ipinapahiya kami sa harap ng team. Tapos conflicting at kulang pa ung mga instructions nya, ipa pahula pa sa iyo kung ano ung ibig sabihin nya, na para bang sinasadya talaga para mag panic at magkamali, at lalo ka nyang sisigawan at ipapahiya.

May issue talaga ung TL namin, pero walang nag re report sa HR dahil hula ko lahat ng kasamahan ko sa Pinas ay mga foreign workers na may mga dependents, hawak ng company ang working permit nila.

Ako lang ung taga Pinas at walang dependents pero di ko talaga mapapalampas ung pang hihiya nya sa amin lalo na pag Pinoy ka.

Hindi lang sa akin ganun ung boss ko. Ganun sya sa lahat. Marami pa syang labor violations.

Taga Europe sya, kaya titignan ko din kung paano ko sya i-re-report sa HR sa bansa nila. Pareho lang name ng company, pero magkaibang multinational BPO kaya may mga branches sa ibang bansa.

Gusto ko lang maglabas ng sama ng loob tungkol sa pinasukan kong kumpanya kamakailan bilang Project Coordinator.

5 days lang ang training ko. Ang totoo, daily reports lang ang halos inaral namin ng Project Coordinator na nagturo sa akin sa loob ng limang araw na iyon. Pagkatapos nun, parang ine-expect na agad nila na kaya ko na ring gumawa ng data reports, graph reports, weekly reports, pati SOD, MOD, at iba pang reports. Noong nagkaroon ng delay sa weekly report dahil nangangapa pa ako, parang sa akin agad napunta ang sisi.

Isa pa, wala ring nagsabi sa akin during hiring na may papalitan pala akong empleyado. Wala akong narinig na kahit anong mention mula sa HR o sa mga nag-interview sa akin. Nalaman ko lang mismo sa office nang marinig kong tinatanong ng mga katrabaho si Ken ng, "Uy, kelan ka aalis? Bukas na ba?" Doon ko lang na-realize na siya pala ang pinalitan ko. Ang sabi pa niya noon, "Huwag muna, tatapusin ko lang ito hanggang Sabado." Sa isip-isip ko, bakit hindi na lang sinabi sa akin noong hiring pa lang? Doon ko rin mas naintindihan kung bakit minamadali ang turnover at kung bakit ang daming hindi naipasa sa akin nang maayos.

Ang mas nakakagulat, tuwing nagtatanong naman ako sa Project Manager kong Chinese kung paano gawin ang isang process, ang lagi niyang sagot ay, "Call Ken." Mabait naman siya at ramdam kong gusto rin niya akong tulungan, pero aminado rin siyang hindi niya kabisado ang karamihan sa mga turnover links at reporting process dahil halos lahat ay dating hawak ng previous Project Coordinator. Dagdag pa roon, nahihirapan din akong intindihin ang English niya dahil sa language barrier, at minsan napapansin kong nai-frustrate na rin siya kapag hindi ko agad siya naiintindihan. Napaisip talaga ako, paano magiging maayos ang onboarding kung mismong PM ay hindi rin alam ang buong proseso?

Dahil doon, napilitan akong humingi ng tulong sa ibang Project Coordinators at kahit sa mga tao ng subcontractor companies para lang matapos ang mga reports. Sinubukan ko ring mag-chat kay Ken. Noong unang linggo, sumasagot pa siya pagkatapos ng trabaho dahil inaasikaso rin niya ang requirements para sa bago niyang employer. Pero pagdating ng Monday, hindi na talaga siya nag-reply. Wala na akong ibang malapitan.

May isa pang nangyari na lalo lang nagpatibay sa desisyon kong umalis.

Noong Monday, maayos akong humingi ng SOD report sa isang Team Leader ng Zambales team. Ang sagot niya sa akin, "gas report ko muna sir hahahhaha." Dahil bago pa lang ako, sinabi kong hindi ko pa alam kung paano gawin ang GAS report at nagtatanong lang sana ako. Bigla niyang binawi ang usapan at sinabi na lang, "wait ko nlng po thankyouuu." Pero noong hapon, nang ako naman ang humihingi ng MOD report na kailangan ko para matapos ang trabaho ko, tuluyan na akong hindi nireplyan hanggang matapos ang shift.

Isa pa sa pinakamalaking dahilan kung bakit ako umalis ay ang expectation nilang magtrabaho ako tuwing Sunday para sa reports. Monday to Saturday na nga ang pasok, Sunday na lang ang pahinga ko, tapos iyon pa ang araw na inilalaan ko sa church. Para sa akin, hindi makatarungan na pati nag-iisang rest day mo ay kukunin, lalo na kung kulang pa ang training at turnover.

Noong Tuesday, nagdesisyon na akong mag-immediate resignation.

Sa resignation letter ko, sinabi ko lang nang maayos kung bakit ako nagdesisyon umalis. Ipinaliwanag ko na limang araw lang ang training na natanggap ko at hindi sapat iyon para agad akuin ang lahat ng reports. Sinabi ko rin na kahit gusto akong tulungan ng Project Manager, limitado rin ang alam niya dahil karamihan sa mga proseso ay dating hawak ng previous Project Coordinator. Ayaw ko ring umabot sa puntong ako pa ang maging dahilan ng delay ng team dahil nangangapa pa ako sa mga process na hindi naman naiturnover nang maayos. Binanggit ko rin na isa sa mga naging dahilan ng pag-alis ko ay ang expectation na magtrabaho kahit Sunday, na siya lang naman ang rest day ko at araw na inilalaan ko para sa church.

Sa puntong to, tanggap ko na kahit hindi na nila ibigay ang bayad sa anim na araw na pinasok ko. Ang importante sa akin, nakaalis ako nang maaga kaysa pilitin ko pang mag-stay sa trabahong alam kong hindi na magiging okay para sa akin. Sa tingin ko, kung ipinilit ko pang magtagal, baka lalo lang akong mahirapan at maging dagdag problema pa sa team dahil nangangapa pa rin ako sa mga process na hindi naman naituro nang maayos. Ayoko ring umabot sa puntong trabaho na lang ang iniisip ko kahit nasa bahay na ako.

Kaya gusto ko lang itanong sa inyo, valid ba na nag-immediate resignation ako? Sa tingin ko kasi, kung maayos lang sana ang training at turnover, ibang-iba siguro ang naging experience ko. Kaunting konsiderasyon lang sana sa mga bagong empleyado.

Serious question. Kung ang ahensyang dapat tumutulong sa mga empleyado ay sila mismo ang delayed magpasahod, saan kami dapat lumapit? May naka-experience na ba tulad nito?

after ng OJT ko with this company—nag-offer ng fake 2 years Certificate of Employment (COE) yung manager para mabilis daw ako makahanap ng trabaho and makapag barko. okay lang po ba tanggapin?

I don’t even know where to start.

I’m a multimedia artist. I used to actually enjoy what I do—designing, creating, seeing things come together. Kahit pagod, it felt worth it.

Then our company merged with another one.

After that, everything just… fell apart.

People started resigning. Systems got messy. Workloads doubled—but expectations didn’t change. Walang adjustment. Walang pause. Parang everything just kept moving, kahit clearly hindi na kaya.

I didn’t realize how bad it got until last week.

I did 34 collaterals in one week.
Not counting captions. Not counting coordination. Not counting revisions and last-minute changes.

Just 34.

May time pa na, 2 motion graphic, 1 static ang need, (made from scratch) 3 hours left on shift, gusto nila agad by end of day.

I don’t even remember half of what I made. That’s how autopilot I’ve been.

And the worst part?

I’m not even angry anymore.

I used to care so much. I used to go the extra mile. Ngayon, I log in, do what I can, and log off. If something goes wrong, I don’t even have the energy to defend myself anymore.

Recently, I got called out for:

• posting the “wrong version” (file wasn’t even labeled properly)
• missing a post when there was no content given in the first place

And I just sat there like… okay.

Not because I agree.
But because I’m too tired to explain.

My manager isn’t even a bad person. She’s actually kind. And I think that’s what makes this harder.

Because I can see she’s also under pressure.

So everything just trickles down.

And I’m at the bottom of it.

I didn’t reply over the weekend because I was busy and honestly just needed to breathe. It was my birthday, I had church, I had a life outside work for once.

And somehow even that turned into stress the following week.

I think that’s when it hit me.

This isn’t sustainable anymore.

Not because I’m weak.
Not because I’m lazy.

But because this isn’t how work is supposed to feel.

I’m burnt out in a way that sleep doesn’t fix.

I don’t feel proud of my work anymore. I don’t feel excited. I just feel… empty.

Postings and captions are not even part of my responsibility, I am only a multimedia artist.

Pagod na ko, kailangan pa din ba natin maging resilient sa ganun? Nagpapagamit na lang ba ako?

I'm new to this company. I haven't even been here for 6 months. I'm still a probi, and this company is a small one. Hindi siya startup, pero it's small. We handle events most of the time, and for events in distant places, the management would avail an AirBnB and all employees share that same AirBnB.

I thought I misunderstood something when a female coworker told a male coworker to wake her up if she slept through her alarm. Nagulat ako they share the same AirBnB/room. It turned out that all employees share the same bedroom. When I saw a picture of the AirBnB they recently availed, it was just a small room with only one double bed and a sofa, and a bathroom meant for one person. Okay lang sa akin kung magkasama lang ang mga babae, pero kasama rin ang lalaki tapos cramped kami lahat sa iisang room?

How can I say I want to avail my own room without seeming entitled if this is the norm here? Baka sabihin nila na maarte ako, pero I am severely uncomfortable sharing a room with people who aren't my close friends or family.

Hindi ba parang ang panget kung mag-lalabas ng pera ang management para lang sa akin dahil gusto ko mag-solo? Sabihin nila wala akong pakikisama, eh pero ayoko talaga sa ganung arrangement.

I'm new to the corporate world, so I'd rather not go job hopping, but this got me second-guessing my stay in this company.

A source says that separation pay will be negotiated and will be called as financial assistance during settlement. But i read financial assistance is separate from separation pay. Im confused.

May chika na ba kung may tanggalan ulit sa Citi?

Iniiisip ko kung aalis na ako dito. Puro AI na kasi tapos kakarampot increase kahit promoted at malaki kita ng kumpanya.

Never ko pinakita frustration sa mga boss dito para safe lol wala rin naman magagawa mga yun eh. Pumapasok pa rin naman ako at kunwari enthusiastic

Bait mga tao pero hanggang dun lang.

hello just curious, until when ba dapat i’release ang final pay? this is my first job thats why I don’t have any idea pa.

for context, here’s the timeline:

May 29 - last day
June 23 - HR confirmed that my clearance and report are cleared, mag wait na lang sa final pay computation
June 26 - followed up for my final pay computation, but they said I should wait (??)

June 30th na, almost one month na and wala pang update from them. I’m so pissed they can’t even give an accurate timeline. also ganon ba ka-tagal mag compute ng final pay? cause afaik, may ise’send pa sila na quitclaim. pero ayun nga, wala pa silang ma’provide na info as of now.

when can I cc Dole para naman asikasuhin nila? haays!
