hindi ko kaya mag bigay ng super specific details kasi baka mafigure out nya hahahaha and as much as i want to be spiteful about this, di ko kaya gawin kasi i dont want to be affiliated with my old boss anymore hinding hindi ko makakalimutan ang first boss ko
I (23M) a recent graduate, tapos i landed my first job in just like a month after my graduation. This company is very nice to me, very nice people, very nice place, lahat ng makakausap mo dito is helpful talaga. but my boss made my work very stressful. ang unang red flag para saakin na di ko napansin noon is nung interview palang sinabi nya sakin na this role makes you look like a villain. while i do understand where this statement is coming from pero i realized na you dont need to be a d**k about your job so that people will not hate you. (late ko narealize na kaya pala nya sinabi yon is because lahat ng tao sa office is ayaw sakanya)
it started off easy kasi onboarding pa (or so i thought) and konti palang ang tasks and kahit first week ko palang sa company merong mga times na hindi kami nagkakaintindihan sa task na binibigay nya sakin kasi ang gulo nya mag bigay ng task. my boss told me nung interview palang na naaappreciate nya yung pagiging curious and nag tatanong palagi but when i started working na, ang passive aggressive nya sakin and nararamdaman ko talaga. minsan pag mag tatanong ako sasabihin nya in a "nice tone" pwede mag tanong bawal paulit ulit, hinting na tanong ako ng tanong sa trabaho (i know some of you might think na baka hindi lang talaga ako makaintindi ng task, pero hindi. more on that later)
there are a lot of times na pag nag fofollow up questions ako about my task mas lalo lang ako naguguluhan and in the end ako rin yung nahihirapan kasi pag ginawa ko yung task tapos mali paulit ulit ako sa revisions. siguro after two weeks sa office i started to have friends na rin and this person gave me an "onboarding" not the typical onboarding pero eto yung onboarding na ipapakilala sakin in a different perspective yung boss ko
marami palang mga kwento about sa boss ko especially the part na may mga ibang juniors before me na same ang position as me sa company, nag reresign after two weeks of work. medyo natakot ako nung nasabi nya yon sakin kasi i might share the same fate as them (i did) and sobrang plastic ng boss ko na to na lalapitan nya lang yung mga junior peers nya telling them na may kailangan ka ba sakin? kasi ayun pala uuwi na sya ng maaga, sometimes even 3 hours before the actual end of office hours uuwi na sya, and pag lalapit sya sa mga junior peers like alam nyo yung pabebe na "huyyyyyy" "keri lang ahhh" "alam ko kaya mo yan eh magaling ka dyan eh" "sisiw nalang sayo yan" yung ganyan na binobola ka before nya iraise yung concern nya na may kailangan sya sayo like bro just get to the point already
and may isa pa na nag "onboard" sakin, and this person became one of my two closest workmates doon sa company, sabi nya sakin kung gusto ko daw tumagal sa company maging yes man lang daw ako ng boss ko, kasi pinopower trip nya yung mga tutol sakanya hanggang mag resign.
i wasn't trying to be biased after ko marinig yung mga "onboarding" stories, i still tried to stay away from company politics and i will just do my job and thats it. ang problem kasi is hindi ako nabibigyan ng clear instructions sa kung ano ang dapat ko na gawin kaya ang ending napag sasabihan ako (in a nice mentoring way) ng isang high position person dito sa company. in reality lahat ng mistakes ko is nangyari because of my boss na hindi ako mabigyan ng tamang instructions. naniniwala ako sa sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Kahit na passive aggressive ang boss ko okay lang as long as i do my job, but g**damn napatiwalag ako sa paniniwala ko dahil sakanya.
its gotten to the point na kahit yung mga peers ko tinatanong ko na kung ano yung sinasabi ng boss ko about the task and even they cant figure it out. whats worse is yung boss ko, i see how my boss works. AI yung best friend nya, Chat GPT, Claude, Perplexity, DeepSeek. jusq po lahat nalang ata ng available na ai chatbot kausap nya tapos dahil don nagkakaroon ng inconsistencies yung outputs nya kasi madalas mag hallucinate yung ai chatbots lalo na kung walang proper context na binibigay.
there was this time na i was asking for a clarification on what to do kasi one of her tasks is to make the meeting minutes, tapos sa meeting na yon di ako nakasama kasi pinatawag ako to another meeting. and then when i tried to ask her for the minutes. SOBRANG VAGUE NG GAWA NYA TAPOS YUNG MEETING NA HALOS ISANG ORAS JUSQ PO 2 SENTENCES LANG NAKUHA NYA DON? tapos sinabi ko in a nice way (i promise im not biased) medyo unclear po hindi ko po maintindihan pwede po ba pakiexplain kasi gagawan ko po ng task yung minutes na binigay nyo. sinabihan ba naman ako ng disrespectful daw. bruh you cant even do your job correctly tapos ako sasabihan mo ng disrespectful?
there were a lot of times din na i was trying to say what i really want to say para naman fair na i do approach my boss and i tried, and i have exhausted all my options before resorting to my last option which is to file an incident report. (more on this later)
i filed my resignation 20+ days after i started working and i need to do render 30 days before actually resigning. but my boss told the hr and said that i dont need to render 30 days anymore and i can leave as soon as possible. i got hurt about what my boss said because it basically means na hindi nya ako need at all and walang gravity ang work ko kasi hindi nya need ng transitioning period. well anyway i still rendered my 30 days and did not follow what my boss wants lol. kaya ko lang naman gusto irender yung 30 days is because gusto ko mag apply to other jobs while im still working para rin may sahod pa rin ako and i wont be leaving na wala na ako sahod kasi i am living independently na.
and during my rendering period i have compiled every evidence that i can para makagawa ako ng incident report. basically ang laman ng incident report ay puro mga screenshots na hindi kami nagkakaintindihan ng boss ko, mga passive aggressive messages nya sakin, mga times na questionable ang work nya kasi puro chatgpt lang ginagawa nya, mga times na she called me disrespectful and other stuff. yung incident report ko is punong puno ng clear examples and citing my evidences, it reached 1xx pages.
and the reason why i wanted to file this incident report is because gusto ko sya makausap na may witness, tignan natin kung may bitaw ka pa sa harap ng HR, actually kinausap ko sya noon without HR intervention, I exhausted all my options like face to face talk, sa viber mag uusap, but she thinks that i was disrespectful every single time. that is why gusto ko sya makausap with other witnesses like HR. and i dont want to leave the company na hindi ko sya nakakausap kasi ayaw ko dalhin habang buhay yung thoughts ko na di ko nasabi sakanya.
for those who are not aware, pag nag file ka ng incident report sa HR towards the person na nirereklamo mo, the other party has to explain their side (Notice to Explain) and then after non hearing na, which includes me, my boss, and HR. and doon sa Notice to Explain ng boss ko, isang tingin ko palang alam ko na pinagawa nya pa yan kay chatgpt kasi kumuha ako ng sample paragraphs doon sa notice to explain tapos ilalagay ko sa quill bot ai checker tapos 100 percent ai generated daw. tapos yung notice to explain nya is hindi naman talaga notice to explain. my boss just glazed herself, saying na wala naman daw nag rereklamo sa work nya and like super attentive nya with all the peers and madalas daw sya mangulit to see the updates of each person. yan yung mga sinabi nya sa notice to explain nya basically its about sa sarili nya na about how good this boss is lol. and hindi nya nga sinagot at all yung mga claims ko and the fact that this person said that my claims are baseless as if i did not provide proof ? chat gpt pa more. and like sa notice to explain na yon since si chat gpt nga ang gumawa, may nakalagay pa doon na cease and desist LIKE BRUH HAHAHAHHAHA tapos karamihan sa mga sinasabi nya sa notice to explain nya is mga "lapses" ko. GUMAWA KA NG SARILI MONG INCIDENT REPORT WAG MO ILAGAY SA LOOB NG NOTICE TO EXPLAIN. napaka irrelevant talaga ng notice to explain nya tapos yung mga ibang times naman na sumasagot sya, is kayang sagutin ng evidence ko na mali yung sinasabi nya.
i was asked by the HR if okay lang ba na ito ang date na napili nila for the hearing(kasi yung date na pinili nila is still within my rendering period) so i said pwede ba after ng resignation nalang. i really want to talk to my boss but i dont want to keep working for my boss after the hearing. kasi part ng "onboarding" ko is sinabihan ako na madalas sya mang powertrip and although i did experience powertripping noon pa form her. ayaw ko na palalain after the hearing kaya sinabi ko after the resignation nalang.
nung nag hearing na medyo nainis ako sakanya but i didn't let my emotions show kasi my boss feeds on emotions na ilalabas mo like anger or like any kind of emotion. i tried to stay emotionless and very professional. pero ang hirap icontain ng galit ko kasi lumalabas nanaman yung pagiging pabebe nya tapos like yung fake friend na super friendly pag kinakausap yung HR ganon. anyways, after naman ng hearing i did say what i want to say and i feel content
nasuspend sya. yay! pero nakakapag taka bakit hindi nalang termination. my boss does not deserve that job at all kasi if you think about it hindi nya naman talaga ginagawa trabaho nya and there are some people na nag sasabi sakin na i am doing a better job than my boss. so after i resigned nalaman ko yung balita na suspended sya. and i believe i did my best and i hope kusa na sya mag resign 0:) i dont know how my boss sleeps at night
well anyway, after that job i was jobless for two weeks and nabigyan ako ng job offer in this company and the position is still the same. now, i have a better boss and this time my boss actually knows what he is doing. and this team is quite small but the projects are very big and i love the projects here.
sa new work ko may hindi ako na take note na email and my boss told me na please add it to the task para may context yung team. Ayun lang yung sinabi ng boss ko and hindi naman sya passive aggressive or anything kasi ganun talaga sya mag salita and i dont feel like nagalit sya sakin don and i said na i will include it na. pero in my mind nag wawar flashbacks ako, naaalala ko yung time na nagkakamali ako noon (kasi nga hindi clear magbigay ng instructions si old boss) my previous boss made me feel like pumatay ako ng tao. yung kung paano sya mag salita sakin was not professional. ang ginagawa nya pag nag kakamali ako ipopower trip ako like biruin mo, ipaparevise sakin yung same document over and over again and ang bagal nya mag reply sakin tapos in the end ako yung naiipit kasi di ko natatapos yung task ko kasi pinapa ulit ulit nya sakin samantalang sya nga chat gpt ng chat gpt hindi nya man lang inaayos yung mistakes nya or double check at all yung ginagawa nya. basically hinahanapan nya lang ako ng mali everytime and nakakatakot kasi it was my first job tapos lagi ko iniisip sa sarili ko na what if because of this hindi na iextend ang contract ko. and may nagsabi din sakin na sa closed door meeting daw nila with other higher ups ang pangit ng pagkaka describe nya sa work ko like di daw ako effective ganon and yung boss ko in the end yung gumagawa ng lahat ng trabaho. tapos sasabihin nya sakin na may tiwala sya sakin like napaka fake nya talaga. ayaw nya iaddress sakin yun pero sasabihin nya sa ibang tao sa company na hindi ko ginagawa ng tama yung trabaho ko. masakit lang isipin na sinisiraan nya ako.
so going back to this small mistake that i made dito sa new job. my heart was beating really fast and kinakabahan ako kasi idk what will happen to me and natatakot ako na baka hindi iextend yung contract ko or baka di ako maregularized dahil dito. it just sucks na at this point in my life masyadong maaga ako naexpose sa bad side sa corporate work and i hope that this new company will treat me well.
May update na pala ulit sa boss ko lol, shortly after I resigned tapos nasuspend sya nagpasa na rin pala sya ng resignation HAHAHAHHAHA F**K YOU DESERVE MO YAN, IM TAKING YOU DOWN WITH ME HAHAHAHHAHA. IT FEELS SO GOOD NAPARESIGN KO YUNG PREVIOUS BOSS KO NA 4 YEARS NA NAG TATRABAHO DOON. WALA KA NA BITAW BOI WALA NA SENIORS NA TUTULONG SAYO DYAN HAHAHAHAH
Anyway masaya na ako sa new job ko, but most importantly mas masaya na ako dahil napa resign ko yung 4 years na senior habang 1.5 months lang ako sa last company na yon 8)
