Do you guys think na kapag nag BI yung inaapplayan mong work, mine-mention ng former employer mo na my pending case kayo with NLRC?

Nakakapag taka kasi yung mga inapplyan ko, umabot ako lahat sa final interview, meron akong isang for requirements tapos biglang hindi na ako nirereplyan ng HR. Same industry tong mga inapplyan ko. Lahat sila nagtanong sakin kung bakit ako umalis sa previous job ko dahil 5 years ako doon. Hindi ko dinisclose na my pending case since meron naman akong COE.

I think nag BI sila, is it possible na sinabe ng previous employer ko na my kaso?

Edit: constructive dismissal yung case

Hello po good morning, Last august 17 po is naka appoint na ako sa NBI clearance kasi dun sa requirements is need ng 1st day yung NBI which is september 1 starting ko. Nag email sa akin na aasikasuhin yung mga docs is last August 14. Problem po ngayon is wala po lagi pasok yung mga government natin dahil sa habagat possible po ba na pakita yung appointment ko muna habang wala pa nirerelease? Or should i notify yung nag aassist sa akin about sa NBI ko? Thank you po

TLDR: Nag file ng IR last week, nag retaliate si boss na mahilig sa OTY. Sinabon si whistleblower at pinahiya sa lahat dahil sa event na hindi naman pinapansin dati. Mag email ng dispute sa TL o mag file ng bagong IR?

Last week, nagpasa ako ng IR sa HR namin laban sa TL ko na niloloko kami para mag OTY. Sabi nya may bayad nung una, pero wala naman pala.

Today, nag retaliate sya at pinagalitan ako sa harap ng mga ka team mates ko tapos nag quote pa ng KB na hindi naman angkop sa sitwasyon. So nag OK na lang ako para matapos na ang usapan. Dati hindi ako pinapagalitan at pinapahiya pag ginawa ko un. Ginawa ko na dati 8 times, pero di naman ako sinabon dati. Documented evidence ko.

Question po:

Kailangan ko bang mag pasa ng written dispute para sa reprimand nya na obvious na retaliation naman? Mukha kasi na gumagawa na ng paraan si TL at si OM (kunsintidor si OM lalo na pag OTY) para ma tsugi ako sa company.

O mag file na lang ako ng bagong IR sa HR namin para marami akong ebidensya pag nag ka DOLEhan na?

Salamat po sa mga sasagot..

What to do with an employee na senior level. Magaling sa individual work per as head of a business unit, hindi magaling.

Magaling kumausap sa client. Clients like her and look for her. Pero internally, sabog ang business unit niya. Hindi natuturuan ang mag tao niya. If hindi siya directly part of the project, hindi maganda ang output. Pero if siya ang may hawak ng project, at ginagawa niyan assistants nalang mga managers niya - ok ang output.

Yung administrative task din niya. Hindi nagagawa. Proper documentation, development of processes.

Pano ba gagawin dito.

Hi! So I applied for the position of medical coordinator and nakapag initial interview na ako last week which lasted around 45 mins. diniscuss na lahat about sa role, company etc. tapos sinabihan ako na next step na raw ako which is final interview and even asked when earliest possible date available date ko, then HR mentioned na bigyan ko raw siya ng 1week to update, but now 1 week na wala pa rin update and I also followed up, walang reply, which is weird kasi nung dati mabilis mag reply 🥲 help po hahaha

Hi everyone! 👋🏻 Fresh grad here and I have an upcoming initial interview for a Labor Relations Specialist position at a well known financial services company.

I’m a BS Psychology graduate and this will be one of my first interviews for an HR/Labor Relations role. I’m honestly excited but also pretty nervous since Labor Relations is not something I have a lot of professional experience in yet. 😅

For those working in HR, Labor Relations, or those who have experience interviewing for similar roles:

1. What questions should I expect during the initial interview?

2. What Labor Relations topics/labor laws should I at least review beforehand?

3. What do employers usually look for in a fresh grad applying for an LR role?

4. Any tips on how I can present my Psychology background as relevant to Labor Relations?

5. And generally, what should I know or prepare before the interview?

Would really appreciate any advice, tips, or even things you wish you knew before your first HR/LR interview. 🥹

Thank you so much!

Chinese Businessmen are know for being cheap or kuripot. But medyo frustrating lang na may mga parte talagang ayaw nilang gastusan or sadyang aabusuhin muna nila kasi libre?

For Context: I work as a Recrtuitment Assistant sa isang Construction/Manufacturing Company. Ofc I help the company grow through hiring capable candidates, and of course when it comes to selecting candidates gusto nila yung aside sa may exp gusto nila yung pasok sa industry ng company para hindi na mahabang turuan. I've been using Indeed, BossJob, Jobstreet, and Facebook all for FREE. And yes of course may mga applicants kang makukuha but hindi sya ganun karami if you won't put some money on it para maging more visible sya sa mga job hunters online. Lagi kong sinasabi sa manager ko na kung pwede gumamit ng budget para maincrease yung candidate pool and para madami ring quality candidates ang mag submit specially sa Jobstreet, madami akong nakikitang magagandang candidates, sa BossJob pwede ka mag buy ng credit para accessible ka sa mga potential candidates kaso di mo lang laging mahahanap yung mga perfect fit sa requirements mo pero may mahahanap ka, sa Indeed dollars ang bayaran, sa facebook naman free and wide range, maliit nga lang ang percentage na may makuha ka.

Ang rant ko lang is even tho free ang mga websites na yan to post iba parin kasi kapag nag invest ka sa mga special features nila lalo na kung specific candidates mo. Probably makakabawi naman yan kapag nagka benta yung sales, mas malaki pa nga ata mababawi nila compare sa gagastusin nilang job ad. Ang sad lang.

Hi I just wanted to ask since I'm just curious about hr interviews. Ask lang if kahit hindi ka ba magaling sa mga answers during interview since attractive maganda/gwapo ka eh pasok ka pa rin sa standard nila? Like officially hired ka na?

Hi everyone! 👋🏻 Fresh grad here and I have my initial interview tomorrow for a Labor Relations Specialist position at a well-known financial services company in the Philippines.

Went to the first day of my first job today and honestly felt like crying because everything was so overwhelming. I started doing HR work—like fixing 201 files and such—without any orientation or proper onboarding. It feels so weird being thrown straight into the fire, and not knowing what I'm doing half the time is brutal.

On the bright side, some of my coworkers are genuinely kind and approachable when I have questions. I managed to survive Day 1, but our HR manager has a reputation for being strict and demanding, and I'm stressing out about how that's going to go.

What tips would be best for a fresh graduate like me operating as an HR generalist on a project-based position or first job tips in general?

Throwaway kasi ayoko makilala 😭

I already talked to a lawyer and I have an NLRC case/process going on, but honestly this has been bothering me so much and I just wanna hear other people’s opinions.

I worked for a BPO for a little over a year. I got transferred to a newly launched account. Since bagong account siya, wala kaming dedicated trainer, so most of what we had to follow came from the training manuals/materials they gave us.

Eventually I got put on preventive suspension and received an NTE because management accused me of “manipulating” productivity/closure numbers. The thing is, yung process na ginagawa ko, which they’re now calling manipulation, was actually in the training manual. So from my understanding, I was just following the process that was given to us. (Prior to this wala kahit coaching)

There wasn’t also any written rule that specifically said we couldn’t do it or that doing it would be considered misconduct.

Apparently, management wasn’t fully aware either of how the system actually worked or how that process would affect the numbers. So something that I thought was just part of the normal workflow ended up being treated as me manipulating the metrics.

I explained this in my NTE and said I had no intention of manipulating anything. I genuinely thought I was following the correct process based on the materials we were given.

Despite that, they still terminated me for alleged misconduct. 🥲

I already consulted a lawyer about it and one thing they told me was that even if, hypothetically, the employee actually intended to manipulate the metrics, the fact that there’s no rule saying that particular act/process isn’t allowed doesn’t automatically mean the employer can just terminate the employee. There still has to be a valid ground for dismissa.

Now I’m just wondering if I’m looking at this too emotionally because obviously I’m the one who got terminated 😭

I don’t wanna give the exact process, company, account, or dates because there’s a chance someone from work could recognize it.

But based on what I described, do you guys think may laban talaga ako? Or am I missing something that could make the employer’s side stronger?

Would especially like to hear from anyone who’s dealt with an NLRC case or Philippine labor law before. I’m honestly just trying to calm my brain down while waiting because grabe ang hirap mag-overthink HAHAHA

Also nung na term na ako dun pa nag labas ng ZTP 🏃‍♀️

Hi, Everyone! I recently got accepted as TA Coordinator sa IBM, I already got the JO and about to start on September 14. I just wanna ask IBM HR pips, what its like working there? like what to expect.

Sobrang sakit na ng ulo ko, nagwo-worry kasi dahil night shift ako and boundary-conscious sa work-life balance (clinical sepanx).

I just wanna know everything about its setup and what to expect so i can manage my emotions well.

Thank you so much!

hello po. I have a job interview tomorrow sa isang govt hospital. Ano po ba ang acceptable answer if mag tatanong if willing ba ako mag overtime without pay, and if okay lang ba sa akin delayed ang salary. Also, red flag po ba na one year unemployed? Huhu I need help to prepare for these kind of questions.

I know that under the labor code, managerial employees are not entitled to OT, etc. These people are not paid per hour of work rendered, rather on their output and for their brains. These people are also expected to render work beyond the regular working hours if necessary without additional pay.

What are the HR/payroll rules for these people? Are they required to abide by the company's hours of work or are they allowed to come in late without any deductions for late or undertime?

What do you think is the best measure to address the rising unemployment rate in the PH? ? Do you think it will take long before we can achieve less worries about unemployment?

I posted on this sub because I think HR ang pinakahasa sa gantong usapin haha curious lang ako (as someone na ilang buwan na pero unemployed pa rin)

I am expecting a job offer some time next week sa HR field and as a fresh graduate without any job experiences, I have no idea how it would go. No judgment po sana, I just need real advice kasi I don't know what to expect or anything that I need to know about the job offer process 😅 It would be really helpful po if mabigyan niyo ako ng idea on how it goes, and also ano po ba 'yung mga dapat kong tandaan, tanungin, or iclarify during the talk. Salamat po! ❤️🙏🏻

HR Rec here, currently nanggagalaiti sa tanginang boss namin na laging late kahit alam ng may final interview.

Context:
This boss has an EA and sila nagbibigay samin ng interview date and time kung kailan siya avail pero MADALAS HINDI NASUSUNOD. Laging late yung animal, kesyo makikipagmeeting muna, or di agad pupunta sa office for whatever the fucking reason is. Walakompake. SO FUCKING UNPROFESSIONAL.

Sched ng umaga, dadating ng almost lunch time na. Madalas nakakain pa oras ko pag lunch para mag assist sa mga applicants. Punyeta ka. Nakakapikon.

Ontime pumupunta applicants ko, ikaw ang kupal.

This is a BPO company po,

So I applied in Concentrix, we discussed job offer na rin ganyan and received an employment agreement, pero the status of my job application on their workday shows "job offer in progress"

Now I recently received an offer from a different company and I already signed a job offer to them.

Now my questions are:

1. Should I let Concentrix know na I like to withdraw?

2. Since I have not signed a JO to them and chose to withdraw, would I get blacklisted sa kanila?

Hope to hear a response from you po!

dahil po kase sa wage increase kaya raw gagawing offset yung mga OTs namin.

Pwede po ba yun? Nakakatakot daw as an hr yung wage increase.. Ei kung tutuusin lahat naman ng empleyado sa company mababa lang sahod. (based sa naririnig sa mga employees)

I want to resign na po talaga. My mental health is at its all time low and I cant take on the pressure anymore. My contract states that rendering period is 30 days. Can I lessen that without any medical certifications? I just really need to go, my workload is too much but nothing senior members cant handle i believe. Im just so tired and my health is suffering bad. There were days na hindi na ako nakakakain and im just tired overall. Please help, how can I resign without ruining my career in the long run. I dont plan to re apply here naman and my manager is nice naman but HR kasi dun ako natatakot baka madaming need or hindi ako mabayaran. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you po.
