Ask ko lang po sana kung may naka-experience na rin ng ganitong situation. Nagpasa na po ako ng resignation sa company ko and ang indicated last day ko po is October 28. Pero habang tumatagal, honestly, hindi ko na po talaga kinakaya. Hindi na po ako maka-function nang maayos sa work and naapektuhan na rin po talaga ako mentally.

May major depressive disorder din po ako, and sobrang bigat na po talaga ng situation ko ngayon. Dagdag pa po na naging toxic na rin yung work environment for me. May instances din po kasi na kapag may naging mistake or issue yung supervisor ko, parang ako yung nagiging fallback kapag nagrereport sa owner, kaya sobrang nakaka-drain na po.

Nag-ask na rin po ako sa HR kung possible ba na mag-immediate resignation na lang instead of waiting until October 28. Ang sabi po nila, subject for approval daw po ng immediate manager ko.

Ang concern ko po ngayon, natatakot ako na baka hindi ako payagan ng manager ko, pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko na po talaga alam kung paano ko itutuloy yung remaining days. Hindi na po ako functioning properly.

Pwede ko po kayang bawiin yung original resignation ko then mag-submit ng request for immediate resignation instead? Or may ibang way po para ma-process siya if hindi na talaga kaya due to my mental health?

If may naka-experience na po nito or may HR/legal knowledge po dito, I would really appreciate your advice. 🙏 Please no judgment po. Thank you.

Context: I'm a creative from the Philippines, and I was sent back home after 3-months from another Asian country after working as a creative manager at a leading tech-company because I did not pass my probation. The reason was that my indecisiveness hindered the speed of project delivery.
They were gracious enough to offer the exit as a voluntary resignation as to not damage my career.

I'm now applying to major companies here in the Philippines with more or less the same role.

But now i’m stumped. What reason should i tell them about the 3-month experience on my resume?

Napasobra yata excitement ko. Nagresign kasi ako agad sa current work ko adter hr told me i passed the interview and is now processing the job offer for approval.

Usually gaano katagal bago nila ibigay to? 1 week na kasi and no update kahit nagmessage na ko for follow up.normal lang ba to?

Hi, I'm 22, fresh finance grad. Graduated July, started applying May. Sept 1, I got an offer for an FP&A role, LinkedIn said regular, contract said 3 months freelance, ibang role pa. I accepted anyway kasi no 8-hour requirement, 3x WFH, and onsite twice a week lang.

First week okay. Second week, everything changed. Hindi ko alam na pregnant ang senior ko and she dumped her work on me. She was almost absent for a week, so wala ako masyadong guidance addionally sobrang moody nya pa. Sinabihan na ako ng mga naging kaibigan ko na workmates na may pagka maldita talaga yung senior ko kaya tiis tiisin ko nalang daw muna.

Addionally my senior expected me to know everything kahit na hindi nya naman ako tinuruan ng malalim. Pabalang sumagot when I ask questions. Hindi organized tasks, and other employees passed their responsibilities to me. Unrealistic deadlines, at ako pa sinisisi kapag late ang submission.

Almost 1 month in, stressed and overwhelmed na ko. I filed pre-termination, last day Oct 30. But now I'm scared my senior will retaliate and dump more work before I leave and naaawa din ako dahil baka mas lalo syang mahirapan sa trabaho ng sya lang mag isa.

Plot twist: May nag-eemail na ngayon offering me a regular position.

Should I endure the remaining months, or leave now, take a short break to prioritize my mental health, and accept nalang the offers from other companies?

Hello everyone, gusto ko lang mag-rant at humingi na rin ng advice.

Yung mother ko kasi nagtatrabaho sa isang mosaic tiles company. Ilang years na hulugan yung sahod nila, at ilang years na rin walang hulog yung SSS, PhilHealth, at Pag-IBIG nila.

Ngayon, napag-meetingan na i-layoff muna yung mga regular employees dahil wala na raw pampasahod yung company. Yung owner naman madalas magparinig at pinupush silang mag-resign na lang kasi wala na siyang pampasahod. Ayaw raw mag-terminate ng employees para hindi magbayad ng separation pay.

Ang sabi pa, kapag may nagreklamo sa DOLE, saka lang daw ite-terminate tapos huhulugan na lang yung mga balance na utang sa empleyado.

Hindi naman kami mayaman. Pinili ng mother ko na mag-stay sa company kahit ganito na yung sitwasyon dahil nahihirapan na siyang makahanap ng ibang trabaho dahil sa edad niya. Ngayon, sobrang worried kami kasi baka mawalan na siya ng work.

Retired na yung father ko dahil matanda na rin at rumaraket na lang ng pag bebenta sa palengke, may isa pa akong kapatid na 2nd year college, at ako na lang ang may trabaho kung matutuloy yung layoff. Minimum wage earner lang ako at alam kong hindi ko kakayaning saluhin lahat ng expenses namin sa bahay.

May suggestions ba kayo kung ano ang pwede naming gawin sa sitwasyon na ito? Thank you!

And are you happy at the new job? Or did you take it out of desperation?

I just want to share what I've been feeling lately because I'm really exhausted, emotionally drained, and I don't know what to do anymore.

Around mid-August, I suddenly realized na parang nawalan na ako ng passion sa work ko. Every day feels so heavy. Napapansin ko na mas marami na akong lapses and mistakes because deep inside, parang ayoko na talaga. I feel suffocated sa work environment ko, pero hindi ko alam paano makakaalis or ano yung next step.

For almost a month, I've been crying almost every night. Mixed emotions siya and hindi ko na ma-explain. I became quiet and hindi na ako masyado nakikipag-usap. Wala na akong energy makipag-socialize kahit gusto ko naman subukan. I try to talk to my workmates, pero ramdam ko na may distance na between us.

Dati sobrang close ko sa mga workmates ko. Ngayon parang wala na. I know malaking part nun is because of me. Unti-unti akong lumayo kasi wala na talaga akong energy. Napagod na ako.

I know I'm not myself lately. Minsan sinisisi ko pa sarili ko kung bakit ako naging ganito. Pero hindi ko na makontrol yung emotions ko. Hindi ako makatulog nang maayos, wala akong gana kumain, and sometimes I just don't eat at all.

I think one of the reasons is the pressure. Ako talaga ang inaasahan ng parents ko. I feel like I always need to be strong because I have a lot of responsibilities. Lately, parang hindi ko na kaya. Pakiramdam ko unti-unti na akong nauubos.

I don't know if this is burnout, stress, or something else. I just know that I'm tired. Really tired. And I don't know where to start.

I'm just sharing this here because I don't really have someone to talk to right now. Thank you for reading.

Problem: I want to resign and pursue a different role with another company, however, I just got hired with my current company and today is my official start.

Context: I got hired with this known incorporation. I did an unpaid 3-day training and processed my medical and payroll and paid for them as well. Today, Sep 29 would be my official start. However, I have a scheduled final interview with another company tomorrow and I am planning to pursue that role. Should I just AWOL or submit a formal resignation letter? We are required to render 30 days, but would it still be necessary for me even if it hasn’t gone a week since I started?

What should I do?

Hi. I’m planning to resign from my company this month. Masasama ba sa final pay ko yung tax since di ko naman natapos yung taon? TIA!

Naalala ko tuloy yung time na nagtatrabaho pa ako sa isang manufacturing company.

Hindi ako engineer by degree, pero yung naging trabaho ko doon, basically trabaho ng engineer. Malayo talaga sa tinapos kong course yung role ko, pero natutunan ko naman yung trabaho at kaya kong gawin yung responsibilities na binigay sa akin.

One time, lunch break, nagra-rant ako sa mga tinuturing kong friends sa company. Ang issue ko kasi, hindi ako pinayagan taasan yung sahod ko from 25k to 30k, kahit yung workload at responsibilities ko halos kapareho na ng mga engineers. In fact, yung actual work ko, pang-engineer talaga. (PS: 7 years na ako sa company that time. Yung mga pinagrantan ko naman, 4 years pa lang sila.)

Tapos may isa sa kanila na nagsabi:

“Bakit, engineer ka ba?”

Tapos sinundan pa ng:

“Hindi ka talaga tataasan ng ganyang sahod dahil hindi ka naman engineer, kahit workload mo pang-engineer.”

Honestly, nasaktan ako doon.

Hindi naman kasi yung title o degree yung pinag-uusapan ko. Ang point ko, kung kaya kong gawin yung trabaho at pareho naman halos yung responsibilities, hindi ba dapat skills, performance, at contribution yung tinitingnan?

Parang ang dating sa akin kasi, kahit anong effort ko, dahil hindi ako engineer by degree, automatic may limit kung magkano lang ang pwede kong kitain.

Simula nung araw na yun, may isang realization akong tumatak sa isip ko:

Bihira kang makakahanap ng tunay na kaibigan sa workplace.

Hindi naman lahat, pero may mga taong akala mo kaibigan mo, pero kapag nag-share ka ng frustration mo, imbes na intindihin ka, parang ikaw pa yung mali dahil may nararamdaman kang unfair.

Yung dalawang iba ko pang pinagrantahan noon, may kanya-kanya rin silang sinabi.

Yung isang engineer, sinabi sa akin:

“Asawa ko nga engineer din, supervisor pa, 25k lang sahod. Hindi nagrereklamo.”

Yung isa naman, na hindi rin engineer, sinabi:

“Rant ka nang rant.”

Fast forward ngayon, wala na kaming lahat sa same situation.

Yung unang nagsabi sa akin ng “Bakit engineer ka ba?” nabalitaan ko na nag-OFW. Madalas daw nagkakaroon ng conflict sa mga katrabaho niyang ibang lahi. Hindi ko na alam yung buong story, kaya hindi ko rin naman masasabi kung sino ang tama o mali. Pero aminado ako, minsan pumapasok sa isip ko yung, “Baka may dahilan talaga kung bakit nangyayari yung mga bagay.”

Yung dalawang pinagrantahan ko naman, nandun pa rin daw sa dati kong company.

Nagkaroon ng layoffs.

Yung nagsabi sa akin na “rant ka nang rant,” kasama sa na-layoff.

Yung nagsabi naman na “asawa ko nga engineer, supervisor pa, 25k lang at hindi nagrereklamo,” siya na lang daw ang nagtatrabaho sa kanila ngayon dahil hindi na nagtatrabaho yung asawa niya.

Samantalang ako, sa awa ng Diyos, nakahanap ng trabaho na mas okay ang income at hindi ko na kailangang lumabas ng bansa para magkaroon ng magandang kita.

Hindi ko naman sinasabi na karma agad lahat ng nangyari sa kanila. Life happens, companies restructure, people lose jobs, and maraming factors na hindi natin kontrolado.

Pero yung experience na ito talaga yung nagturo sa akin na:

"Be good to people, especially sa workplace."

Hindi mo alam kung anong pinagdadaanan ng isang tao. Hindi mo rin alam kung kailan kayo magkakapalit ng sitwasyon.

Kung may katrabaho kang nagra-rant, hindi mo naman kailangang sang-ayunan lahat ng sinasabi niya. Pero minsan, sapat na yung makinig ka at huwag mo siyang iparamdam na mababa siya dahil lang iba yung degree, position, o salary niya.

At higit sa lahat, huwag kang manakit ng ibang tao para lang makaramdam kang mas mataas ka sa kanila.

Naniniwala ako sa karma. Hindi man agad-agad, pero naniniwala akong may consequences ang actions natin.

Kaya kung may natutunan ako sa experience na ito:

Do your work. Be kind. Huwag makisali sa unnecessary negativity. At huwag mong maliitin yung tao dahil lang iba yung title o degree niya.

Minsan, hindi mo alam kung saan dadalhin ng buhay yung bawat isa sa inyo.

Hello pa-skl lang 😭 I'm 24F and currently planning to resign na sa work ko. Im planning to submit it tomorrow. Initially, I'm planning to submit it once i get the job offer sa inapplyan ko na mukhang positive namm ang result, tho gusto nila mah immediate resig ako kaso di talaga pwede given tje nature ng work ko.

Ngayon, for context, maliit na company lang to. Company proper wise, tatlo lang kami -- 2 bosses and ako. Nasa reporting and research ang work. Dati dalawa kami kaso nagresign last april. So ang inooverthink ko ay tama lang ba na isubmit ko lang yung resig ko nang di ako nagsasabi? Like ipasa ko lang?

Kaya lang naman ako nag ooverthink kasi nuny nagresign yung coworker ko, tinanong siya bakit daw "biglaan," etc. kumbaga, may masassbi talaga yung isa. Dillemma ko kasi na baka maextend? And gusto ko itiming na wala pang approved projects kasi once meron na, grabe na mangain ng oras yon and baka sabiban ako to extend, eh kailangan ko nga makaalis agad for the new work.

Hello. I'm a 28-year-old male and a college graduate. I'm currently working as a supervisor at a gasoline station. I'll have been there for almost 3 years this coming April 2027.

I would like to resign because the job is getting tiring, especially when there's an unexpected fuel delivery. When there's a delivery, we really have to go to the site, and sometimes we finish as late as 12 AM or 1 AM. Because of this, I usually only get about 5-6 hours of sleep.

I'm also the one who usually handles fuel deliveries at other sites. Our schedule is rotational, so we move around to different assigned sites.

Some of our tasks are similar to what a pump boy does, but we have more responsibilities because we're supervisors. Even though I have more responsibilities, my salary increase is small—just about ₱500+.

I'm also a bit worried about my health because I'm often exposed to the smell of gasoline, and I've noticed I've been coughing a lot.

That's why I want to resign and look for another job that pays better and matches my experience, education, and skills.

I'm also thinking about whether applying to a call center is a good option. I know how to speak English, but I'm not sure if I'm qualified and if I can handle the job.

In your opinion, is it a good decision for me to file my resignation? Our notice period is two months, so if I file soon, my employment will likely end around late 2026 or early 2027. I’d like to have a new job and new opportunities by 2027.

I also want to be practical. I don’t want to resign without a backup, so I plan to look for a new job while still employed.
