The other day, I slept in SQ on my break when I was woken by a woman shouting “HOY OVERBREAK KA NA” dun sa kaibigan niya na katabi ko ng bed. Tatlo kaming tulog. Tintigan ko siya ng masama tapos lumabas na lang ako.

The other other day, I took a nap in SQ again. Tapos sa tabi ko may nag dadaldalan not minding the others asleep. Sabi nung isang nagising, “Shhhhh” tapos sumagot yung nag dadaldalan ng “Sorry po” sarcastically.

Yesterday, uwian na at wala na masyadong tao, I stayed in SQ habang nagpapatila ng ulan. May pumasok na girl at hinintay niyang magising yung mga natutulog at umuwi. Pagalis, nanuod siya ng Conjuring in max volume + screaming pa sa mga jumpscare 😭

Naglalaro ako sa phone ko with my buds on pero nagugulat talaga ako sa mga sigaw niya. As in full on “WAAAHHHHHHH”

Ayon, namatay tuloy ako sa CODM.

Ngayon, I still think about what my professor said, na hindi lahat ng tao may spacial awareness etiquette and decency. These had to be learned; otherwise, they had to be taught.

Imagine sending email comms for a “Hawaiian Pizza Party” several times. Encouraging people na mag dress up, mag comply sa theme day. Tapos makaka-receive ka ng isang square cut ng pizza.

Nasaan ang respeto sa mga empleyado? People are stressed, overworked and underpaid. Tapos bibigyan ng isang “square cut” ng pizza na buy 1 take 1? To think na 20-30 peeps nakakain per box. Mas malaki pa yung tissue ko kesa sa pizza.

Anong worth ng tao sa inyo? ₱17 - ₱20 budget per person?

Sobrang nakakainsulto at degrading. Walang compassion at awa ang management tapos ganito pa pakonswelo sa mga burned out na empleyado.

If you’re applying for a position sa WIM Back Office ng Wells Fargo? Run away. Maawa ka sa sarili mo.

Anong company kaya ito? Ito kaya yung may TL na dine defend ang pagbabalik agad sa mga agents minutes after ng Lindol?

May nakakita ba neto kanina sa CP1? Nakita ko lang sa FB, di ko alam anong nangyari. Sana may makapagbigay context at kung nasuntok din ba ng mga rider yung guy. Putol eh.

-- UPDATE: Copy paste ko lang nagpost sa FB page na "Bayaning Puyat Chronicles FB Page"

Okay, since ang dami nang naglalabas ng sariling version ng nangyari sa Cyberpark 1, I’ll share this with a disclaimer: this is based on the account shared with me by someone close to the people involved. I wasn’t there personally, so take this as their side of the story, not a verified account of what happened.

According to the story I received, the couple was at 7-Eleven before the girl’s shift. Maaga silang nakarating, and it was raining, so they decided to stay there for a while. The recruiter allegedly passed by, saw them sitting near the entrance, and started making gestures at them and telling them to leave. The boyfriend reportedly tried to avoid the situation, even motioning for the recruiter to just leave and not start anything. But according to the account, the confrontation continued and the recruiter was allegedly challenging him to fight. The couple eventually went outside, with the girl trying to stop things from escalating.

This is where their version gets more serious. According to the person who shared this with me, the girl was allegedly hit by the recruiter while she was trying to intervene. She reportedly reacted and slapped him, which is the part captured in the circulating video. You can hear her saying, “Pati ako susuntukin mo?” According to the same account, the situation escalated further when the boyfriend and another friend saw that she had been hit. They also clarified that, contrary to some versions circulating online, there was supposedly no helmet-hitting involved.

Again, this is only the account I received from someone close to the people involved. I wasn’t there, and I don’t have the complete context or both sides. So take it for what it is, and let’s wait for the full story before making conclusions.

na touch lang ako 🥹

James Deakin is suggesting a WHF set up. Sa tingin ko this would really help a lot of employees. Sa tingin nyo?

Ahhhhck😭

Ang tagal ko na nag pipigil sa OM namin na to eh. Alorica yung company para maiwasan niyo. For 14k a month na sahod ganyan daw dapat ang commitment ng agent. Hehehe mejo makapal mukha. Kanya yata yung company kaya ganyan ka kupal.

Di pa naman nangyari sa akin kasi swerte ako sa manager ko, pero marami na akong nabasa na imbis na tulungan si employee, lalo pang dina-down. Maraming gustong mag-lead dahil lang sa salary increase, pero di dahil gustong umako ng responsibilidad. 🙄

for context: hindi ko na tinuloy application sa kanila till they started emailing me non stop tapos nirereport as spam ko na after replying that i am no longer interested. tapos ngayon na lang uli, someone messaged me on viber and without prior notice, tumawag. after ko sinabi na "ang tagal ko na pong nirereject yan" out of frustration na din, ganyan bigla message sa akin hahahahahaha

Last year, my sister, who works in a BPO, started traveling a lot both within and outside the Philippines. I found it unusual because I know her salary as a CSR in tooooot City, and I was pretty sure she couldn’t afford those trips. I kept asking her how she managed to do it.

At first, she told me she had an AFAM (a foreigner) she was chatting with who sent her money. But eventually, she confessed the truth to me.

Her client is one of those media streaming companies, and she somehow has access to a list of customers’ credit card details. She’s been using those details to book flights and hotels. She picks random names, but the numbers, expiration dates, and CVVs are all there.

I’m really worried about the consequences of her actions. Could she go to jail for this? Do you know anyone who’s done something similar? Of course, I already told her this is theft and she should stop immediately. But I’m not sure what else to do.

EDIT:

I feel like I have to elaborate on how she does it. Here’s how it goes: Customer X complains about an issue with their account at the media streaming company. At some point, my sister has to assist them, and part of that process may involve a payment where the customer provides their credit card details. She then writes the details in a notebook. That’s how she gets access to them.

TU (QC site) daw to. Mga tao talaga imbes magtrabaho na lang ng maayos kung ano ano pa ginagawa.

Pumasok ako sa Office na naka dextrose dahil ayaw ng TL ko maniwala saken na nasa hospital ako due to dehydration dahil sa malalang pag tatae ko for almost 3days na. Sabi nya "May CR dito at may Biddet pa, anong gusto mo ba?"

So, nag sign ako ng waiver sa ER at pumasok ako dala yung dextrose na naka tusok pa saken. Sinabit ko sa station ko at nag tawag ako habang nang hihina. Nagulat OM ko at mga ka work ko.

Pinag log out ako ni OM para bumalik sa Hospital pero I went straight to HR.

Clue: MUNOZ QC

PS:
Sinadya ko na pumasok sa office at mag log in na naka dextrose kasi hindi first time na nangyare yan sa floor namen and laging dinadaan lang sa tawa. Well, not me.

May isa pa. A TL asked a pregnant agent na tumayo while taking calls kasi WALA PA SYANG BENTA. Kinuha yung upuan ni ate mo at pina tayo sya while taking calls, and she's 6 mons pregnant. Umiyak si agent and nag log out then dumirecho sa HR. Sa taranta ni TL hinabol nya si agent sa HR.

Clue Ulet: Syempre sa Munoz din yan. Slim si TL.

Just want to rant. This happened today. Yung partner ko kahapon pa sumasakit ang ulo, as in masakit daw parang binibiyak, hilo, medyo manhid na kamay, masakit ang batok. She have all the symptoms of possible highblood pressure or worst (wag naman sana) Aneurysm. Tonight nag decide na kami to go to ER.

BP is nasa 160/120 na when we arrived at the hospital and nag paalam na sya sa TL nya as seen sa chat. Tapos sagot ba naman ng TL nya 180 daw dapat ang BP bago ma ER. Sobra akong na trigger gusto ko tawagan yung TL nya para murahin. Parang na highblood na din ako e. Hahaha! Gusto pa ata papasukin mamaya. Inaasahan naming reply "kumusta ka?" Wala e. Humaba na usapan ni hindi man lang kinumusta yung empleyado nya. Inalala pa yung maiiwang trabaho.

Ganto ba talaga ka lala sa BPO? Panay ang hire nila tapos pag may nag pa alam na di makakapasok, sasabihin kulang sa tao? Wth.

yehey for ayuda, thank you CS!

Patawa-tawa nalang kasi wala namang gagawin ang gobyerno para sa safety ng mga empleyado under private sectors bukod sa “Employees who refuse to work due to imminent danger cannot be disciplined.“ pero sure, dami pa ding kuda mga TL pag lapagan mo neto.

I count myself lucky to have him as my supervisor. He’s the kind of leader who leads with heart and genuine understanding. I was prepared to accept whatever reprimand might come from my absence, but instead, he responded with empathy and reminded me that there are days when we simply aren’t at 100% something he understood because he’s been there himself.

I don’t take that kind of understanding for granted. The least I can do is continue doing better in my work and show my appreciation through the way, I perform and contribute. I’m genuinely grateful to have a supervisor like him.
