If di nagrender ng 30 days ano pwedeng mangyare? Need advice

Ang Sarap sa pakiramdam na nakapag resign ka na finally. After 7 years na hirap ng commute 3 hours back and forth. I finally did it. I have no plans ngayon pero hoping and praying that I land a job. Hoping one day makahanap ng WFH na trabaho. I do not know where to begin. Lord Please Guide Me.

Im in a fixed contract here in Japan and plan to resign midyear. They have a tie up agency in the Ph that processed all the documents and depployed us. Im an ALT. Can my agency in the Ph force me to go home? Or are they legally entitled to repatriate/send me home even though I resign voluntarily? I dont want to go home and want to find another better opportunity.

Start na ako mag reder ngayon guys hehehe. Ganito pala ang feeling mag resign. May peace of mind na ako. Wala akong backup plan, but I know that God will provide. Nagka courage na din ako umalis.

hi, i’ve been unemployed for over 3 months. after several rejections, a company finally wanted to hire me perooo the offer is lower than my previous one, tapos ang hirap pa puntahan ng office kase malayo. however, after ilang beses na akong na reject before, natatakot na akong i-decline yung offer kasi i really need a job asap. kumbaga, lowball offer to pero pwede na.

at the same time, i have an ongoing application with another company who offers more, easier to get to ang area and maganda ang benefits. kaso syempre, wala pang certainty na makukuha ako.

i tried to negotitate kay Company A pero max offer na raw. si Company B may progress naman application ko pero sobrang daming interview levels and case study pa kaya matagal sya.

question: what if after kong tanggapin si company A and nakapag start na ako, tanggapin din ako ni company B? may naka experience na ba nito?

should i resign immediately na lang from company A if it happens? please i need your inputs.

Hello, people of Reddit!

 

Hihingi lang sana ako ng advice tungkol sa pag-resign ko. Long post ahead.

 

# I submitted my resignation letter; boss rejected it. How do I stand my ground when my boss wants to talk me down of my decision sa pagre-resign after I submitted my RL through e-mail? Is giving a compromise okay or not?

 

Gusto ko na kasi talaga magresign sa trabaho ko, so I did it kahit wala pa ako lilipatan na trabahong susunod (Let’s skip the part na kailangan may JO ka na bago ka mag-resign. I know that, and I also know I really need to gtfo of here.). I have been simmering this decision for months now. Hinihintay ko lang talaga na mag-1 year ako, para naman hindi pangit tingnan sa resume ko. Marami ako dahilan kung bakit gusto ko na umalis, and I know one reason should be more than enough, so I’ll put the biggest one here.

 

Kinakaltas nila yung mandatories sa sahod ko, pero hindi nila hinuhulog sa SSS, PAG-IBIG, at PHILHEALTH ko. Hindi ko na hahabulin yung mandatories ko, kasi alam kong wala rin mangyayari. Hindi lang ako ang nag-resign at nagpa-DOLE sakanila tapos wallang nangyari. Marami na sila. Kaya ko pa sikmurain yung isang taon na hindi nila hinulog sa mandatories ko, pero I can’t hold out for more than one year. They got my money, I got my 1-year experience to use as leverage sa susunod na aapplyan ko.

 

Mag-1 year na ako sa trabaho ko (September 8, 2026), and nag-pasa na ako ng resignation nung Friday night. I really wanted to give it to him in person (hard copy), as sign of respect na din, kaya lang, noong nakaraang 2 weeks, it’s either nasa site ako, or may mga meeting siya sa labas, so hindi kami nagtatagpo. So nung sumahod noong August 14, sinend ko na yung resignation notice ko through email.

 

The next day, nag-reply yung boss ko na hindi niya daw tinatanggap yung resignation ko dahil shorthanded ang kumpanya, at may issue pa ang kumpanya sa isang client namin sa isang project na ako ang nag-handle. Ako at ang department head ko nalang kasi ang natitirang PIC sa company namin, so kapag umalis pa ako, mapipilayan talaga yung company for a while.

 

Nag-private message din sakin yung boss ko, asking why I resigned, and what the problem was. He reiterated his position on why he can’t accept my resignation, hoping I would understand. He said wala naman siya issue saakin, and even mentioning that naka-linya ako for promotion again. He said he has nothing against me, and that he’s counting on me because of my performance so he’s hoping I’d stay.

 

I do understand. I really do.

 

But considering everything, I really want to quit. Ayoko din tanggapin yung promotion na yun (if it’s even real) because I don’t feel like that’s growth, I feel like that’s a trap. Kapag tinanggap ko yan, I’ll be stuck here for longer.

 

I also know na ang resignation ay FYI, not FYA, which means hindi kailangan aprubahan ng employer mo yung resignation mo. Once na ipasa mo yung resignation letter mo, tatakbo na yung rendering period mo, whether they like it or not.

 

Still, ayoko magmukhang matigas sa harap nila, pero ayoko rin na ako ang kawawa sa huli. Pag-uusapan namin to sa Monday, at kailangan ko ng advise niyo kung ano ang pwedeng approach ko na hindi ako ang talo sa huli.

 

I’m thinking of giving a compromise: Kung makakahanap sila ng kapalitan ko within my 30-day rendering period, I’m willing to extend my rendering period another 10 working days para I-train yung kapalitan ko.

 

Dapat pa ba ako mag-bring up ng compromise ko na to? Sa mga nag-resign na hindi rin tinanggap yung resignation letter, ano yung ginawa niyo?

Hi! Would like to ask opinion if it's okay to resign after the day of my first working anniv or should i wait more days before resigning?

Hi, idk who to talk to about this, but I just feel so terrible. 

I’m 25 years old ako, I’m very introverted and I have social anxiety. Over time this got better naman, especially kapag I’ve adjusted and felt comfortable na sa isang environment. I graduated last year, and in just about a month nakapagstart nako magwork… tumagal ako ng 6 mos sa una kong work, tinapos ko lang ung probi period because I focused on taking the board exam. Nahirapan din ako dun nung una, but I grew to love the job and the people there and I made good friends. 

Fast forward, 3 mos after my resignation nakapasa nako sa board exam. Hindi naren ako nagpahinga dahil gusto at kailangan ko naren makapagipon agad. I had the option to go back sa dati kong work na 6 days kami pumapasok, or take this new opportunity sa isang company na inapplyan ko which is 5 days lang and with better pay and benefits. Pinili ko yung bagong company and I turned down the offer sa old one ko. 

I now started with this new company, and in just 2 days I quit dahil hindi ko kinaya yung culture. There were times na my hands were shaking, pero pinilit ko nalang tapusin ung 2nd day ko. Everyone is kind naman, kaso feeling ko because of my social anxiety, hindi ako “fit” or belong sakanila. For context, sobrang magkakaclose na sila, tapos naka open office plan setup kami and ako lang ung nilagay nila sa kabilang side ng table, while sila magkakatabi. Yung work ko ay hindi ren related sakanila dahil first time mag-open ng ganitong position sa company. So technically, wala akong kateam and parang one man work ako doon, hindi pa super structured ung role and tasks ko kase nangangapa din sila. It made me hard to connect with those na kasama ko sa office, kase wala ren ako mapagtanungan.

They also don’t make much of an effort to get to know me, kaya lalo akong nahirapan. I look up and smile naman, bumabati naman ako ng good morning, binabati nila ako pabalik pero wala ren nageeffort na ayain ako maglunch ganun, magtanong about sakin, or anything like that. I felt so awkward, having to go buy lunch magisa outside kase lahat sila nauna na agad sakin.. or sit there having to listen to their convos tas hindi ako makaimik kase wala akong alam sa sinasabi nila. Feeling ko napapanisan nako ng laway hahaha.  

I am not proud na umalis ako after 2 days :< kaya I feel so frustrated. During my orientation day, may kasama akong ibang new hires, I felt okay naman at naging friend ko pa nga ung iba. Kaso nung napunta nako dito sa assigned office ko, I really don’t feel like I belong there. Hindi ako makasabay sa trip nila :< and I hate myself for it. 

Ngayon, unemployed nanaman ako and paubos na talaga ang pera kaya lalo din ako naiistress, pero parang hindi ko talaga kayang pumasok na doon :< I just want to vent this out kase nararamdaman ko nanaman ung bigat ng feeling. I was so disappointed sa nangyari na sana pala nagstay nalang muna ako sa old company ko hanggat makaipon ako ulit. 

I just want to get away from them. I’m the only licensed engineer there, yet they threatened to terminate my contract in front of everyone in the office. Then, when I filed for leave, they suddenly became nice and told me, “You’re the only licensed one here” and “We expect you to come back.” I’ve only been with the company for two months, but they’ve treated their new employees poorly.

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.

gusto ko na mag immediate resign dahil sa work environment and sa boss, papasok palang ako ngayon knowing na papagalitan mamaya, kinakabhan while typinh this, kagabi napagalitan pa ng work colleague na nagtetrain sakin, mamaya sa ms teams may meeting ako, siya, manager and boss. grabi na anxiety ko, walang proper training, tangina talaga, gusto ko lang na maayos work environment, may growth, maayos na sahod and malapit. Lalaki pa ko and naiiyak na ko kahit kagabi since magisa ako sa office. 2nd job ko na to and project based.

sumunod lang ako sa instructions nila, pagnagtanong galit pa putaenang yan. Pwede po ba mag immediate resign kahit next week na? and project based kasi contract ko for a year, 1 month palang e ayoko na, ang gulo g management

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.

Today I walked out of a very toxic WFH employment. I lasted only 5 months and decided to ghost because of reasons. No I am unemployed and uncertain pero para akong nabunutan ng tinik.

All this for a 8AUD per hour rate which they haggled from my original 12AUD per hour asking.

Long story:

I am an architect who applied and hot hired as an architectural designer by a small time builder in AU.

First bad experience:

My 12 aud per hour rate got reduced to 8 aud per hour during negotiation, i took the risk given it is a work from home job but we had an agreement that there would be a performance appraisal upon 3 months, and an annual appraisal as part of the benefits since the company offers no benefits, even leaves. Its a a no work no pay scheme, forced unpaid 2 weeks shutdown period by december, then initially no appraisal clause in the contract.

Second bad experience:

I asked for a contract upon onboarding but they said its still being signed. Fast forward to 5 months, i received a contract for signing with a very one sided clauses, favoring the employer (no appraisal as discussed upon negotiation, additional admin workloads indicated, client facing). 5 months delayed yung contract, yet they want me to sign it right away, i said i want to review it and asked for revisions.

Third bad experience:

First few weeks were okay, the 6:30 to 2:30 setup worked really well for me but the boss is the "ill blame you for anything" type. I was reduced to being a draftsman.

Case 1:

I initially designed a floor plan adhering to the standard space planning, au codes and regulations, then he will overhaul everything to his "standard" following a sketch he made, which is full of errors i had to suck up.

Case 2:

Asked me to provide an as built drawing based off a reference floor plans online??? This is the typical workflow for us then, get a reference floor plan image from a real estate listing online then trace it for asbuilt drawings then provide renovation proposals.

Which is okay to an extent, but he lashes out on me because there are discrepancies from my asbuilt drawings to their actual measurements on site.

Gusto ko nalang sabihin na "wala naman ako jan sa au para mag sukat" but i had to shut up, kahit na sinasabihan ka ng "you dont care about your job" "you should have known that" "im not paying you to not think"

Case 3:

Minor errors like mispellings or missed dimensions that escalates to a full blown degrading sermon.

I tried to explain to him that I am working alone and he is the one counter checking my work, errors like that are common.

Even explained to him that I previously worked with a team and I facilitate work cross checking. Even a junior architect checks or reads plans that I make to see potential errors, but he just said that we dont have time for that. And this is what drained me the most as it made me always question the quality of work I produce. The anxiety level went off the roof.

Last bad experience:

My laptop broke down due to some issues (randomly shuts down on a monday, then completely unusable by Tuesday) and I got blamed for it.

"Part of your responsibility is to maintain a working laptop"

"you should have checked on it after work time as it is unfair to me that I am paying you to look into this"

"You should have a second laptop for work"

This made me snap.

First they cut off my budget for maintenance. I explained that my 12 aud per hour rate covers hardware and software costs since they will not provide any.

Second, i am going to file for an unpaid leave to get it fixed on that day but i got a "we have so much work to do, you cant be filing leave always" ano gagawin ko? Hahahahaha

Third, require me to have a second laptop on hand? Not even on the contract. FYI one laptop for architectural works is around 100k php. Di nga covered yung current hardware plus operating cost ko sa rate na binigay sakin tapos mag require pa ng extra gaming laptop.

Tuesday, i went to a technician, one of my ram stick got fried, new ram is 12k. The whole day the boss is flooding and calling me with "hows the laptop" "whats the update". Even the PH tagapagmana calls and leaves me chats too "get the laptop fixed, he is very mad about this". Got so stressed i turned off notifs and did not answered any calls. Naka unpaid leave naman ako eh, and personal expense ko gagamitin for repair.

I decided to resign immediately as I havent signed the contract yet.

Wednesday, upon clock in - i no longer got access to my teams account. Napa WTF ako kasi i am planning to turnover files naman. I got 14gb of working files for 7 projects in my SSD, na di nila hinanap. Now they are still calling and asking for update via whatsapp.

Was it worth it? Maybe.

Context: 1 month pa lang ako sa isang start up company. Saw some red flags pero tinuloy ko pa din kasi kaya naman tiisin kasi malapit lang dito sa amin yung work at malaki matitipid ko. Until unti-unti nila iniiba yung mga inoffer nila sa akin noong nag-aaply pa lang ako (like work hours, naging night shift ako bigla). Yung boss grabe din mang-bully sa akin to the point na di nakikinig sa suggestions ko and pinabayaan na ang welfare ng workers (then if something happens, license ko ang delikado).

I want to immediate resign, kunin ko lang sana sweldo ko sa 15 then mag file na. Im not planning to get my last pay or yung COE since 1 month pa lang naman ako di ko na lang ilalagay sa cv ko. Di ko na kakayanin mag render ng ilang araw pa huhu.

Ano po pwedeng reason na maibigay? Medical reason? Saan po pwede makakuha ng med cert na unfit to work if ever? Huhu

Ano po kaya best reason na pwede ilagay sa resignation? Ayoko na sa DepEd 😭 Sobrang nakakapagod, na para bang kailangan lahat ng oras mo ay ilalaan mo sa gawain para sa skwela. Sobrang exhausting

I am 20M, I am an incoming 2nd year BSIT student. I used to be an BSME during my 1st sem, and shifted to IT on 2nd sem. Kinda proud kasi kinaya ko mag working student during that time. But now, Idk if I should resign sa current work ko. Tbh, pumapasok at lumalabas lang sa utak ko yung mga dinidiscuss. Pumapasa ako, pero hindi tumatatak sa isip ko yung mga lessons. I feel like I’m an underperforming student.

Working student ako and Idk if I should resign already. My work is actually good tho. It’s a BPO company and the pay is good. Sabi ko sa team lead ko na gusto ko na 3 days lang work ko kapag may pasok na ako and pumayag naman siya. However, iniisip ko na kapag nagresign ba ako, masisipagan ba ako mag-aral? I feel like I’m the type of person who gets distracted all the time. Idk, that’s one of my reason why I don’t want to resign. But at the same time, I feel like I could be at my fullest potential kapag full time student ako.

What I’m planning is to resign nalang siguro pag nareceive ko 13th month, pero grabe yung kaba. Bakasyon na namin ngayon and I’m scared na bumagsak kasi working student ako. Never naman ako bumagsak sa mga subjects ko during 1st year, but it scares me. I don’t wanna loose this fight.

i want to resign na, i cant take this anymore. walang nakalagay sa contract na bawal mag immediate resignation but nakalagay na 30 day rendering is possible. please help ayoko na talaga dito
