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.

I recently accepted an offer from a global recruiting & staffing firm and I was assigned to support the local PH market.

Previous company:
• Last drawn salary - ₱36,900 basic + ₱3K non-taxable allowance.
• Dayshift schedule
• x2 a month onsite
• No merit increase and annual bonus this year due to layoffs since 2022.

New company:
• Salary offer - ₱34,000 + ₱5K non-taxable allowance.
• Dayshift schedule
• x2 a month onsite
• Commission per hire (on top of basic salary)
• No layoffs since their Manila Team is still growing.
• I was informed that there’s growth for employees who performs well and exceed expectations.

I mainly accepted due to WFH flexibility and dayshift schedule. During the interview, I can sense that the culture is good despite the target driven nature of the role.

The job market right now is very saturated especially for recruitment and TA roles. Majority of the openings are for x3 a week hybrid sched and night shift schedule.

I’m thankful for getting the job but I was let down from the pay cut of my basic pay :(

I've worked in enough private companies to know that most companies decide whether or not to call WFH or on-site based on what happened the day BEFORE.

Monday, there was no declaration that it was good to work from home. So ayan tuloy, daming nastranded papunta at pauwi sa office. Ang ending is they couldn't ignore the situation anymore and had to ask people to go home at 3pm- -only for them to be stranded anyway.

Then kahapon, nag WFH kami tas nagkataon sobrang araw, konti lang ulan. Sa gabi lang talaga umulan. I'm sure nahihinayang tuloy management, so then they lifted the WFH order.

Now people have to go into the office. GUESS WHAT!?

Tangina kaya may mga weather forecast eh

I heard they have gotten labor cases filed against them already.

allowed to wfh pero internally not allowed because i have an event tomorrow. hr declared that we can wfh given the weather today, pero my team was against it since we still have an event to prepare for on thursday. the event isn’t even that serious, pero i just know gigisahin ako ng manager and team on thursday pag nag wfh ako ngayon porke malapit silang lahat sa office (idt theyll understand me kasi di kami close w each other). makonsensya pa ako mag-wfh kahit ako na yung pinakamalayo and binabaha. grabe this team

Meron na bang companies na nag announce ng wfh for tomorrow, Aug 19?

I was headhunted by this GCash recruiter. Masipag tumawag, magtext, and mag-follow up ng available schedule.

They were fine up until the hiring manager interview. I asked for an update a week after the interview; and when I didn’t get a response, I just assumed I didn’t pass.

A week after w no updates, they messaged me saying I’m up for the final interview with their head. They contacted me while I was in meetings and when I didn’t reply after 30 mins, the recruiter proceeded to call me 3x —which I only saw after my meeting ended.

Now, I asked to reschedule the final interview since I had to attend to an emergency at home cause of the heavy rains. I texted and emailed, but no one from HR responded UNTIL I had to propose a new time directly through the calendar invite. Just this morning, they suddenly cancelled the new sched for the final interview WITH NO EXPLANATION OR NOTICE.

Such a bad experience lol they could’ve at least texted or emailed first before suddenly cancelling.

In this economy may mga employers pa ba na willing to offer you x2 or even x3 of your previous salary? Share your experiences.

I’m currently working in shopee and gusto ko lang irant na laganap talaga ang politics dito sa company na to. Imagine ha madali kang pag initan samantalang kapag sila nalate ng submission or konting error lang, parang wala lang and then kapag rank and file employee lang hr agad lol.

Uso pa mga kabitan, yung isang teammate kong panget ayaw pa umamin na kilos kabit naman talaga sya nung dating manager and good thing for that manager na umiwas na sya.

Sa head naming papansin at himod pwet ng mga stakeholders na chinese dyan, girl di ipapamana sayo yang company na yan. Masyado kang bias sa ibang tao na ultimo pagkakamali nila you’re blindsided. Di ako magpapakaplastic sa inyong mga panget kayo dyan talagang sisimangot ako dahil sa mga ugaling nyong feeling magagaling pwe!

Any opinion on HR or Company as a great employer awards? Are there really any awards that companies pay to award or pay to recognize?

For context we laugh because there are companies that we know are NOT GREAT PLACES to work for, but what kind of HR awards as an employer are they receiving. For example we have these circle of friends from the blue Fintech who themselves laughed at the awards that are being presented

Any backgrounds or experiences with HR awards or employer awards?

Hello! Just wanted to ask regarding my friend’s application with them. My friend applied last July 19 for an AVP role and then had his first interview with the hiring manager last August 4 then since then he hasn’t heard anything from them but I checked his workday and the status still in “Business Review”.

For those who have gone through this or have an idea, usually ilang weeks ba processing nila? Possible ba na negative na to or should he just patiently wait? He was thinking of following up with the HR who contacted him but that may seem a bit pushy.

Thank you.

(Currently employed there but I do not know the process for external hires, tbh)

Hello! Fresh grad from the big 4. I recently got hired sa isang voice role sa JPMorgan. The job description stated that I will be working night shift. I got accepted through the fresh grad entry level talent pooling.

Mababa yung sahod for my expectations, and sobrang layo sa akin so I need to relocate to a bedspacer. However, a lot of people around me urged me to get it na since hindi naman kami mayaman and I need a job, and ang gandang company ng JPMC as a first job sa resume. Sabi naman ng hiring manager, maganda ang internal mobility sa jpmc if you want to switch roles or departments.

This is my first job and I’m really scared. Do you think it’s worth it kahit hindi naman ito yung gusto kong job title to further my career? I’m really anxious especially that this is my first job, not the job title that I want, I will be away from home, and night shift pa. Any thoughts are welcome, wala ring nagaaccept saking jobs kahit big 4, I’m guessing because wala akong relevant experience.

Me first: 🌊🛢️

Iba talaga pag family business

Lapag niyo rin companies niyo na ayaw magpa wfh

Can new hires receive performance bonus on February 2027?

Hi! Less than a year pa lang ako sa current company, but I’m considering exploring new opportunities. Regular naman na.

TBH, hindi na kasi ganun ka-challenging yung role, and I’m looking for broader scope, more strategic exposure, and a different leadership environment.

What’s the best way to frame this during an interview without sounding like I’m badmouthing my current company or leadership? Ano yung reasonable na answer sa “Why are you leaving after less than a year?”

Hello guys! I’m a fresh graduate and I just finished the final interview for P&G hours ago for Software Developer role. When can I expect for the next steps/results and a status change in my workday?
