r/ResignPH

hi i need advice :(

i recently accepted an offer and the moment i got in, i felt scammed because it wasn’t everything they told me during the interview phase. i asked why the role was vacant and they told me it was because of a promotion. turns out there were a lot of internal changes happening behind the scenes that i only found out after joining HAHAHA.

so now i’m stuck in this situation where i keep getting passed around to different people, there’s NO structured training at all, and everyone’s just too busy to help me get the hang of things.

i just can’t help but feel like i’m wasting my first few months at a job that’s just milking my energy and potential. i came here because i wanted to be a sponge and learn everything i could so i could really bank on the experience despite the lowballed pay, but instead i mostly feel like i’m figuring everything out on my own.

i was even already handling actual work a week in, but there wasn’t even proper onboarding beforehand, especially on how things work internally. most of what i’ve learned so far has just been through trial and error.

am i demanding? parang hindi naman because i genuinely try my best every day and i don’t mind putting in the work. i’m not even complaining about the workload. it’s more the environment because i feel like i’m not getting the guidance and mentorship i was hoping for. i know life here was supposed to be tough, but i was expecting the kind of environment where i’d actually learn from the people around me.

i want to resign but i’m scared it’ll damage my chances when i apply for a new job, especially since i haven’t even stayed for 6 months. but at the same time, i genuinely don’t see the point of staying if i’m not learning. i don’t plan on including this job in my CV/resume, but i’ve read that hiding it might compromise my next employment somehow.

has anyone been in a similar situation? what did you do? would resigning this early hurt my chances that much?

Hi guys, After ninyong mag-resign, gaano katagal ang inabot bago kayo na-hire sa bagong trabaho? And ano routine nio every day?

I understand na responsibilities and utilities push a lot of us to work, but how do you do it? Like motivation and discipline and persevearance?

I'm a fresh grad na currently 4 months sa first job ko pero because of changes sa management and several employees na nagreresign (especially the only HR) I wanted to leave na rin. Yung change rin kasi sa management affects my projects: always may conflict, trying to please technically two different departments while trying to deliver different outputs at the same time. I know na it's not great sa resume when you only stay for less than a year sa trabaho pero I'm actively looking for other jobs and saving what I can ngayon.

So hi! Nag install pa ako ng reddit for this.

Ask lang po sana ako ng advice sainyo. Nag resign po kasi ako sa work and diba po 30 days lang ang render bago ka mag exit. Pero ako po kasi nag render na ako ng more than 60 days dahil wala pa daw ako kuno kapalit. Tapos po nung last day ko na sana, mga hapon may pinahanap sila saakin pero diko nahanap so napilitan ako pumasok ulit ng monday (since last day ko is sabado) tapos diko po nahanap ulit, bumalik po ulit pero gulat ako nadagdagan po pinapahanap saakin. Tapos po pag diko daw po nahanap, di daw po pipirmahan clearance ko.

Tapos ngayon, sabi po ng HR sakin pag di nakumpleto clearance. Di daw po mapaprocess final pay ko.

Ask ko lang po if pwede yun?

Ang dami kong araw non to comply sa mga need nila sakin pero saka lang sila nagpacomply nung last day ko na.

In fact nadelay pa byahe ko dahil sakanila and di ako naka attend ng interview ko sana. Nasstress napo kasi ako, byti sana kung maliit na halaga lang final pay ko pero di eh almost 2 years po ako don.

Salamat po sa sasagot.

Grabe sobrang toxic talaga sa bpo no. Hindi sa pangbabash. Bpo ako for 8 years na ata pero grabe darating ka rin sa point na yung pagod at stress mo di na kaya ng tulog at pahinga. Yung weekends mo instead of gala sa bahay nalang to recover kasi monday na naman.

Ps. Rendering narin. Wala pang work na naka abang. Sana mahire tayo sa maganda at maayos na company. Manalo sana tayong lahat!

Hi guys. Gusto ko lang sana humingi ng advice.

14 years na akong nagtatrabaho and this is honestly the first time na na-experience ko yung ganito. Hindi ako perfect employee, alam kong may mga kailangan pa akong matutunan, pero never ko na-feel before na parang nawalan ako ng confidence sa sarili ko.

Probationary pa lang, sobrang pinush ko sarili ko. Nakapasa naman ako sa revalida, naregular ako, at okay naman yung evaluation ko. Pero habang tumatagal, parang pakiramdam ko wala na akong ginagawang tama.

May mga remarks yung boss ko na hanggang ngayon tumatak talaga sakin. One time tinawag niya akong “manang.” Ang masakit, may officemate pa na nagtanong kung sino yung “manang,” tapos ang sagot niya, “Ayun oh si *.” Simula nun parang sobrang bumaba confidence ko.

May mga comments din na “Sobrang basic nito.” at “Hindi ka nag-iimprove.” Alam kong part ng trabaho ang feedback, pero iba yung dating kapag halos araw-araw parang feeling mo kulang ka. Dumating sa point na bawat email, bawat report, bawat decision ino-overthink ko na kasi takot akong magkamali.

Ang turning point talaga para sakin yung napahiya na ako ng mismong boss ko. After nun, hindi ko na siya halos matingnan sa mata. Para akong naglalakad sa eggshells araw-araw. Kahit simpleng Teams message, kinakabahan na ako.

Recently nagkaroon kami ng one-on-one kamustahan with our department head. Tinanong niya ako kung ano yung impact sakin. Dun ko lang talaga na-realize na nawalan pala ako ng confidence, bumagal ako magtrabaho kasi ino-overthink ko lahat, at parang natatakot na akong mag-decide. Sabi naman niya kilala niya yung boss ko at tingin niya “he meant well,” pero hindi naman niya ininvalidate yung naramdaman ko.

Kahapon naman, first time kong magpatingin sa psychiatrist. Na-diagnose ako with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Hindi ko alam kung epekto ba ng gamot o ng lahat ng nangyari nitong mga nakaraang buwan, pero first time sa buong 14 years kong nagtatrabaho na umabot ako sa point na umiiyak ako dahil sa trabaho, sumasakit dibdib ko, hirap huminga, at pakiramdam ko worthless na ako.

Hindi ko alam kung anxiety lang ba ’to kaya gusto ko nang umalis, o valid na bang umalis kapag ganito na yung epekto ng trabaho sa mental health mo.
May naka-experience na ba ng ganito? Nag-stay ba kayo at naging okay eventually, o mas gumaan nung umalis na kayo?

Ayoko sana gumawa ng impulsive decision, lalo na kakastart ko pa lang ng treatment. Pero honestly, hindi ko na alam kung kaya ko pa bumalik sa dating ako.

Kaya ako nag patingin na ksi sobrang dami na ngyyri sa buhay ko. Dumagdag pa yung pang lalait ng boss ko. Every presentation sya at nandun sya pakiramdam ko gigil sya sakin na develop yung extreme na pag hinga naririnig nya and ng colleagues ko minsan ung breathing considering Jabra ung head set. Na coconscious ako kapag na ccall out ako.

Maganda yung company.. isa sa top qsr corps pero parang nasira na yung tingin ko sa company na to. Pumasok ako na confident. Lalabas akong durog gnito ung pakiramdam.

I do not know how to talk to my boss or pass my RL.

Mix of emotions. Takot, lungkot, kaba, saya, etc. I’m planning to submit my RL sa Monday. I found a job na twice ang offer na salary than my current one. I’m a breadwinner din kasi. Then, yung work doon is yung mas preferred ko rin na work plus hybrid set up pa, everyday onsite kasi ako ngayon. Now, dilemma ko is naka stop hiring ang current company ko. So even if may mag resign, madidistribute lang sa iba ang work :(

Also, ang laki ng trust ng boss ko sa akin. Ang bait niya rin sa akin kahit ang sungit niya sa iba. Sinabi niya rin sa isang manager sa amin na ako lang daw magaling at maaasahan niya sa team namin.

Ayoko sana siya i let down lalo pa ngayon na transitioning kami to a new system and policies as a result of M&A.

Please advice. Ano ba dapat isipin ko? Paano ko ba siya i aapproach? Nakakabaliw mag-isip.

Normal ba to sa kanila. I work in sales. And the company is start up. Gets ko naman responsibilities ko and yung pagiging antsy niya. Siya yung founder and CEO. Pero ang lala ng micromanagement nito. Di ko kinakaya.
Nag agree na kami na public yung profile ko kasi nga need for outreaching. Okay done. I kept some parts private kasi I’m not too comfortable sa set-up. Still, the private info would not affect my daily output.

Anyway. Pota di nawawala muka niya sa notification ng viewers ng profile ko.
Tapos bigla pa nagchat. Pinapagalitan ako na bakit daw hindi parin public profile ko. Pati laman ng profile ko and my title pinapakailaman niya. Naooffend talaga ko sa ginagawa niya.

Tapos umamin siya na marami daw siyang burner profile na pang stalk. Haha pota I cannot. Ang lala din ng trust issue nito.

Ayoko na. So after 2 months nagresign na ko. Sukang suka ko sa environment na to. Tapos eto, panay parin view niya sa profile ko. Juiceco guys, ano ba tong ginagawa nito? Ganto ba talaga sila?

Going 4 weeks na ako sa current work ko. Pero gusto ko na mag resign dahil wala akong nakukuhang value from my manager. Every time I ask him about work, he would tell me to use AI. Idk how he got so lucky to manage a department that’s obviously not aligned with his expertise and experience.

Apparently hindi lang ako ang may problema sa kanya, pati pala buong team. First week ko pa lang naabsorb ko na ang stress ng coworker ko dahil sa too much emotional dumping sa problema niya sa work.

Before getting hired dito, I worked in a creative agency for more than 5 years—but I have a one year gap in my resume.

Gusto ko na magresign. Paano ko kaya ito iexplain sa future applications ko? Need advice.

Hello! I just passed my resignation letter today because of toxic boss and unfair compensation. Do you guys think it's the right decision i make? I know na mahirap humanap ng work pero i think it's harder to stay. Also will it be a red flag if they saw that my 1st job lasts only 6 months then this current is 1yr and 7 months.

Guys pls be kind a need reassurance haha. I'm an ME btw. Thanks guys!

Been in the field for a decade pero i feel na wala talaga sa puso ko ang pagiging HR. Hindi ko nakikita yung sarili ko na eto yung work ko sa huli, na lagi akong may anxiety after processing the payroll. Yung lagi kang sinisisi sa kulang na sahod kahit nagremind at nagfollow up ka naman sakanila. Nakakapagod po.

That's why I've been thinking na magcareer shift. Anyone ? I need advice po.

Ps. Kakasimula ko lang din actually sa new company but hindi nakikipagcooperate nang maayos yung resignee kaya inaanxiety ako na baka magkamali ako since this will be my first time to be in a supervisory level. Di ko na alam :(

Question lang po, nagsesend po ba ng final pay computation si taskus? Two weeks na po kasi since naisoli ko yung assets ko pero wala pa rin akong narereceive. Nag try ako mag follow up sa hr pero sabi sakin need irequest dun sa website eh.

Should I remove my first job in my resume?

Tatangalin ko na ito due to panget ang feedback ko. Yun ata na-hinder saken kaya di ako matangap-tangap sa mga inaaplayan ko. Incompetent kasi tingin saken despite doing my best (nag overtime pa ako ng walang bayad). Idc about it anymore... Ilagay ko na lang experiences ko as intern. Pero problema lang may gap ako kasi ilang buwan na walang ginagawa... Ayun lang di ko alam pano sasaluhin sa interview.

I am currently finding job now na di need ng references (call center muna ako, layo sa pinagaralan ko HAHAHAHA). Yun na lang ilalagay ko sa resume ko, para di na mabalikan ang panget kong record.

To know more about me, 5 months lang ako sa last job na ito. Mas matagal pa ang internship ko na 6 months eh. Panget din review sa first company ko na iyon... Kala ko ako lang.

Ayun lang, thank you.

1 year and 6 months na ako sa work ko ngayon. Galing ako sa ok na environment na company. Ok ang work, ok ang teammates pero sadyang kailangan ko lang ng mas mataas na sahod kaya ako lumipat. Andito ako ngayon sa work na mentally draining at ung increment ng sahod ko mula sa previous job ko ay konti lang dahil sa tax, kaya ang ending parang halos same lang sa previous sahod ko.

Ngayon parang gusto ko na magresign, gumawa na akong CV at nagsend sa mga opening ngayon kaso wala pang balita sa recruiters. Ang nangyayari ngayon sakin parang tinatamad na ako sa work at ginagawa ko nalang yung napaka bare minimum. Ang lungkot dahil alam kong kaya ko naman ayusin yung sarili ko kaso sobrang draining na ang trabaho. Kapag lunes kinakabahan na ko, kapag kailangan ko magleave kinakabahan na rin akong magpaalam.

Ang catch e parang di ko nakikitaan ng sense of fulfillment tong work ko ngayon pero still thankful ako dahil sa sahod ay nakakapagambag ako sa bahay pero sadyang parang nararamdaman kong mababaliw ako kung tatagal talaga ako sa work na to. Parang ang draining umabot maski 2 years man lang dito

Ayun lang. Salamat

Hello. Need advice.

Second job ko lang po ito. Been here for a year pero planning na ako umalis. Actually if my interview will go well tomorrow and mabigyan ako ng JO, I will send my resignation letter na. Porblem is maliit lang ang current team ko ngayon so if aalis ako, they will have to hire within a month agad ng kapalit ko.

Question ko po is if I should talk na ba sa manager ko na actively looking ako or wait muna ako ng JO then sabay na lang pasa ng RL?

Reason ko po kasi for resigning is for career growth and salary. Medyo stagnant growth ko sa current ko tapos 100% yung magiging increase ko sa next employer if papalarin.

(28F) here, 4 years experienced sa company. Sa tagal ko parang 2 beses palang ako na increase sa salary tapos pili lang yung maiincrease last year.

Sa taas ng bilihin ngayon pamasahe ko na lang nagkukulang na, wala pang food dyan hindi naman kasi sagot ng company foods namin kaya hirap i-budget. Sagot nga yung 1K pero sa deductions naman napupunta, parang wala lang din.

Meron pa time na late magpasahod, pero over magpagawa gusto rush, gusto asap. 1 day delayed na yung sahod syempre petsa de peligro, pati savings di nasasave masalba mo lang talaga ang araw, nagalaw mo na yung savings mo makasurvive lang. Unfair lang! parang hindi ka nabibigyan ng halaga.

Kapag late, may deductions. Kapag OT, thank you na lang!

need pa mag 1 hour onwards para macount as OT, minsan uuwi ka na lang saktong 7pm saka may papa urgent, papa revise. Nandoon na lahat, late na makakauwi, tapos malalate paggising.

Gusto ko pa sana magstay, mag 5 years na din ako and sayang 13 month pay baka i-delay din sa pagbigay kapag umalis na ko.

Any thoughts or suggestions? kahit ano pa yan.

Thanks..

Hi everyone, I just need some advice regarding my current situation.

For context, I'm 24 years old and graduated last year. My current job is also my first job, and I've been working as a Sales Support for a company that participates in government public bidding since August 2025.

A few months ago, I was endorsed for promotion to a Sales Representative role. According to my supervisor, they're already finalizing my assessment, so it seems like the promotion is really close.

However, just recently, I received a job offer from another company in Makati for a Corporate Account Executive position. The compensation package is better, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons I started looking for other opportunities is because my current salary is no longer enough for my financial needs.

After I submitted my resignation, my supervisor asked to have a one-on-one talk with me. They asked me to reconsider my decision because they said my promotion is already being finalized. They also mentioned that it's not the best time to resign since our 13th-month pay will be released soon.

Now I'm really torn.

On one hand, if I stay, I might get promoted soon, and I'll receive my 13th-month pay. On the other hand, I already have a concrete job offer that provides better compensation and allows me to start building experience as a Corporate Account Executive immediately instead of waiting for a promotion that hasn't officially happened yet.

If you were in my position, would you stay and wait for the promotion, or would you accept the new opportunity?

Has anyone here experienced something similar? Did staying because of a promised promotion work out, or did you regret not taking the new offer?

I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts, especially from those who've gone through a similar situation.

I'm reaching a point where burnout is becoming difficult to ignore. I've always followed the advice to secure a new position before resigning, but I'm curious whether anyone here took the risk and left first. How did things work out afterward?
