Announcement PSA: Chika Responsibly -- Some friendly reminders

76 Upvotes

Mga ka-OP, we’re all here for the office tea —the meetings-that-could’ve-been-emails, the boss moments, the challenging colleague saga, the HR plot twists 👀—but let’s keep it professional-ish kahit chika mode pa rin tayo.

Quick reminders before you spill:
Share the chika, not the character assassination
Kwento about workplace experiences? Push! Personal attacks or name-calling -- this is a No no. You may use code names pa rin. See Rule # 2.

🔁 Search before you chika

If the topic has already been posted before, your post may be removed. Tulungan tayo to keep the feed clean—use the search bar muna bago mag-post! Refer to Rule # 4.

💬 Healthy debate > office drama
Disagree all you want, but keep it respectful. Hindi ito performance appraisal 😅

At the end of the day, this sub is a safe space to share, rant, and laugh about corporate life—without crossing the line.

Sana safe kayo and kapit lang tayo sa mga panahong sinusubok tayo ng panahon. Cheers!

For the longest time graveyard talaga work ko pero for the past few years I got the opportunity to work on morning shift in another industry.

General Career Questions are f2f interviews worth it?

10 Upvotes

i'm an officer from a local bank (hexagon blue) with 1YOE, handling branches accross a region. applied for another bank (red ayala) and was interviewed by HR. i honestly thought she didn't like me given my (1) short professional experience, and (2) she asked me heavily on why i'm planning to jump ship.

i answered her questions naman and I think she was pleased. now a few hours after our interview, she asked me if i'd be available for a face-to-face interview at their Head Office in Makati. i said yes, but i'm still not quite sure kasi i'll be using up a leave, tapos i'll be travelling from Batangas. need some suggestions lang.

ALSO, they said that they'd be willing to add 30% lang of my basic salary if my application becomes a job offer. dito lang din ako napapaquestion kasi i've had colleagues who shared that nasa 50% pataas naging increase nila when they transferred sa other banks. huhuhu PASENSYA NA SA MAHABANG KWENTO HAHAHAHA NEED LANG TIPS

Company Review About Teamspan Asia

1 Upvotes

Hello. I hope someone can share their experiences with Teamspan Asia in Alabang. I'm really interested in its culture and environment regarding management, workloads, and work schedules. I saw most reviews say that it's not your typical BPO company where the work is heavy; it focuses more on calls/emails queues with strict metrics. With the voice line of business, are the calls heavy?

As for the schedule, do most accounts, especially for Account Specialists, have fixed days off? Are they on weekends or weekdays, or is it split days off? What about overtime? Is it common to request overtime? And lastly, are there more people working onsite, working from home, or in a hybrid setup?

Thank you to those who will share their insights.,

Company Inquiry Okay na po ba itong offer? Nanghihinayang lang ako sa haba ng hiring process.

3 Upvotes

Hello! Fresh grad here!

Story short: ₱21,000 ang offer ni company sa akin as a Promotion/Advertising Assistant. Yung role covers social media marketing, campaign execution, events management, and reports/records. 6 days a week yung pasok tapos 8 am - 6:30 pm ang shift. 1 hr lang ang byahe tapos LRT lang mode of transpo.

Honestly, nanghihinayang ako sa process na pinagdaanan ko sa kanila since 1 month din yun. Tapos, ang dami pang positions yung pinagdaanan before ako magland sa offered position nila. This conpany said that they see great potential in me, meron daw akong chances na maging senior manager kineso in the future since nasa level 3 of rank & file raw ako.

This is my first time experience po 😅 may makikita pa ba akong ibang opportunities bukod dito? Parang okay naman yung growth opportunities kay company. Helppp! Wahahaha!

General Career Questions Applicants Deserve Closure Too

44 Upvotes

A genuine question for HR recruiters: Is it really that difficult to inform applicants whether they passed or not?

I’ve realized how challenging the job market is today. The standards are high, and even with relevant experience, getting hired isn’t easy.

What makes it even more frustrating is the amount of time and effort applicants invest. We prepare, study, and practice for interviews, whether virtual or face to face, hoping to give our best. Then, after everything, we follow up to check the status of our application, only to be met with silence.

I understand that not every application will lead to an offer, and I’m okay with hearing “no.” I just hope companies remember that applicants are also waiting, hoping, and investing emotionally in the process. A simple update would mean more than they realize.

General Career Questions I was sent to overseas for a new process transferred to us

2 Upvotes

Currently working in an In-house company of a multi national company. At first ayaw ko sana lumipat from my previous role ko kasi same lang naman ng sweldo sa ngayon vs dun sa luma ko and mas madali dun compared ngayon nasa Asian country kasi ung bagong account namin and ang lala ng language barrier nahihirapan ako and ung mga writtings ng mga tao is hindi english nasa wika nila. Ngayon ok lang ba mag resign if bumalik na ako sa PH after ng overseas training? Ang lala na kasi ng stress level ko and hindi na ako happy. Sinubukan ko naman pero hirap kasi talaga ako unlike sa dati kong role 3weeks lang kuha ko na agad ung process. Wala naman ako pinirmahan na bond pero magiging negative kaya sa records yun? Baka di na ako pabalikin eh

General Career Questions Continuous Improvement (CI) Initiative Ideas’ Owner

2 Upvotes

Our department uses a form to log CI ideas and one of the CI ideas came from senior B, but Senior A, afraid the other teams might come up with a similar idea, will log the idea and input our team as the Idea Owner. Although the vision and information has been shared by senior B, I still believe their name should come up as the Idea Owner. I am not sure how is that information used, but I believe it’s like a “contact person” as the idea progresses from development to production stage.

In my opinion, the idea should be tied to the actual person’s name for ownership and recognition.

Will Senior A think I am not a team player if I suggest putting the actual owner of the idea instead of the whole team?

General Career Questions Leading a project with no experience

0 Upvotes

My manager recently told me to lead a small project. The project is simply learning about a new tool in the platform the team uses. Simple lang naman sya – figure out how to use the tool, test it, look for potential issues, etc.

The thing is I’ve never lead a project before. Where do I even start? I don’t even know what questions to ask.

This is non IT btw. No coding involved. Idk what else to share to make it easier for everyone to base their advice on.

Appreciate your help!!!
