Is this a common Filipino Rant?
Hello Everyone,
Gusto ko lang sana manghingi ng advice from you guys, Here is the scenario.
I am an architect in the Philippines, I am currently employed here in a small construction company, mag 2 months na ko. but I feel that I am being static for growth and development.
Kasi tatlo lang kami sa office, Ako, ung office admin at isang coordinator. which is almost everyday eh dalawa lang kami natitira sa office ng admin namin, kasi ung coordinator eh laging nasa site. This is my first time working in SG so kumbaga wala pa kong masyadong alam when it comes to the work process here, although may 4 years na ko experience sa PH. Yung 2 months na pagwowork ko na-feel ko na parang wala akong natutunan as a professional kasi walang nagmmentor sakin or kahit nagtuturo lang. Ang boss ko eh lagi ding wala, at kung nasa office naman ssabihin lang na gawin mo yung ganito ganyan, pero hindi nya sinasabi kung pano, kaya ang ginagawa ko eh its either nagssearch ako sa google o nagtatanong ako sa admin namin na most of the time hindi nya ko nasasagot dahil di naman sya technical person. Minsan nga buong araw akong walang ginagawa sa office dahil kakaunti yung project.
One more thing, my boss is verbally abusive. blamer, lagi sumisigaw at papagalitan ka ng walang dahilan. Siguro natural na sa mga boss dito yung ganun, which is para sakin natitiis ko naman. Kaso I came to a point na tinatanong ko ang sarili ko kung worth it bang mag-stay dito na walang growth for my career? Thats why im starting to think na maghanap ng ibang employer.
What do you think guys? Titiisin ko ba na ganito since maswerte padin ako kasi may work ako. or I opt to chase other employers who can give me career advancement?
Thanks!

LOL. I mean sobrang relate ako sayo. Except sa part na CE ako at mababait mga tao dito sa office namin.
Ang problem nga lang is dahil nga galing ako sa duguang work sa Pinas, feeling ko stagnant ako sa work ko ngayon.
However, I chose to stay. It was given by God to me during the times na sobrang desperado ako makahanap ng work. Sabi nga ni Toni G sa isang movie nya, humingi ako ng pandesal, pero burger binigay ni Lord.
Isipin mo na lang, if you are earning decently and your job is hindi mabigat, you are very lucky. Yung ugali naman ng boss masasabayan mo din yan pag nagtagal tagal.
Try mo na lang magbasa ng mga kung ano anong misfortunes nung iba nating mga kababayan dito and you'll be very happy to have your job.
You are still very blessed. (Lalo na if 5 days lang din pasok mo.
Madaming ways to keep yourself updated and relevant sa line of work natin. Alam mo na yun.
Anyways, good luck to you and sana maging okay din ang lahat.
syempre karamihan naman tayo kaya nagwork dito dahil sa mataas ang sweldo, pero we can earn naman while learning and growing diba? and as a professional I wanted to have more knowledge dito sa SG.
ako pera pera lang talaga para lumago negosyo ko at umuwi na sa pinas for good. so ako kaya ko tiisin lahat. may the highest bidder win kungbaga. hehe
Yung admin lang din namin madalas ko kasama sa office. Di din naman kami close. Yung relationship ko sa mga kaooficemates ko ay professional, not personal. May times na 10 words lang yata nasabi ko sa maghapon. LOL.
Ang masaya for me ay hindi ako stressed out, okay ang sweldo, magaan work, 5 days work, 6PM uwi na. Madaming time manood ng movies at series at madaming time kay gf.
My point is, kaya tayo lahat nandito ay dahil sa malaking sweldo tulad ng sinabi nilang lahat.
You already gained the solid experience sa Pinas that's why you are chosen for your current job. Now yung professional advancement at learnings na gusto mo makuha dito sa SG, there's a lot of ways to learn.
Pero sabi nga ni @carpejem, stay as long as you're happy,leave when you're not.
Depende yan sa priorities mo sa buhay.
Tama si @JuanDeLaCruz , there will come a time na you will realise na mas okay pa din na magnegosyo ka sa Pinas. Even if not related sa natapos mo. Ikaw ang boss and money will work for you.
Bottomline is, lahat talaga mahirap sa simula, hindi lang ikaw ang nagdaan jan. Give yourself sometime, nasa adjustment stage ka pa.
Bros thanks sa mga advice, medyo gumaan yung feeling ko. siguro nga nasa adjustment period palang ako kasi nga iba yung working environment sa PH compared dito. Actually im starting to apply for other companies, pero hanggat walang bagong pass, syempre tyaga tyaga muna dito.
Siguro kusang dadating nalang yung mga learnings while im working here.
wag mong masyadong isipin ang growth ng career, habang tumatagal makukuha mo din yan, marami kang matututuhan lalo na nasa construction company ka. natural lang sa company mo ang sigawan at bangayan, dumaan di ako sa ganyan, nag tiis din ako..wala din ako kasma kumain ng lunch noon, nag self pity..
yung mga boss bihira sa kanila ang concern sa career advancement natin. concern nila pera. sabi nga ni @jrdnprs ikaw ang gagawa nyan, mag kuha ka ng course sa bca, sarili mong effort at money.
pag apektado na ang health at mind mo, di kana kumakain o tumatawa pedeng sign yan na need mo na new employer. haha. sa ngayon ok pa yan. nakakaisip ka pa nakakahingi ng payo..
ang trabaho na marangal ay blessing ni Lord. embrace it. be thankful sa Kanya. di Nya ibibigay sayo yan kung di mo kaya.. may reason sa lahat ng bagay, whether alam mo o hindi, ang mahalaga patuloy lang ang laban.
thanks sa advise, buti nalang talaga nag post ako dito at nakakakuha ng insights from my kababayans. I am really grateful and blessed that I have a job right now kasi matagal ko din pinaghirapan ito. I will stay here and see how things go. If may tumawag man sakin na ibang employer, baka yun yung sign ni lord for me. hehe.
at this point (what i did during my first few months), plan your activities after work and weekend. try to engage in your interest. wag ka mag-sesettle sa groceries, gala at simba sa weekend at uwi after work lang - yan mabuburnout ka talaga. try to engage 1 activity mid week and activities every weekend.
in my case, i do night running/jogging every wednesday or thursday and basketball every weekend (basketball is life). ung kaopisina ko naman merong boxing class every Thursday. i tried boxing din.
my point is, need mo idivert ang mind mo from your work environment to your interests.
kung wlang career growth wla rn chance na makukuha k ng mas malaking money.
Hi Guys, actually nakaka-adjust na ko sa environment dito samin. but still I hate how my manager mismanage his team. minsan hinahayaan ko nalang at pag pinapagalitan nya kami oo nalang kami ng oo. pasok sa kanang tenga labas sa kaliwa.Nasanay na din ako kumain mag-isa. Hanggang ngayong looking for other companies pa din ako kasi hindi ko mavisualize na magtatagal ako sa current company ko, halos walang benefits, walang system, wala kang goal. haha, I hope God will still give me a change to find other job here. But sometimes Im thinking na bumalik nalang sa pinas, now i realize the happiness kapag sa sarili mong bansa ka nagwowork. haha.
Since malapit na mag chinese new year mas madami sigurong chance makahanap ng ibang employer hehe.
You're still young. You still have a lot of things na mapapagdaan. Mas marami pang mga sh*tty officemates/boss kang makakasalamuha. Ang punto tlaaga nitong mahaba kong comment ay....ilibre mo kami ng pizza. hahaha. Joke lang!
Seriously, think about it. Think hard about it. and if you haven't yet....find your passion. If you're passionate with what you do, no matter how bad things are around you, you'll always be willing to continue things...kasi gusto mo.
Happy new year!
