Work-Related
(my wordpress blog has been in hiatus since I am enjoying multiply too much. But I want to revive it. Yey!)
Well, if you are my friend then probably (and hopefully) you are following my blog which means that you know quite well that I am a call center agent. And yes, I hate my job but I have been doing this for 4 years now. Last year, I jumped from one company to another hoping to find another Peoplesupport.
AI am currently with a company now and sad to say, I’ve discovered what my problem is, my attitude towards the job is not fitting any company at all. It is not the company that I don’t like but the job. I don’t like to speak to Am clients anymore more so be in the graveyard shift. I want a normal life, maybe a business.
I admire my friend Lyle for choosing to leave the business even if it means lesser pay, at least he is happy. And I remember my college friend Jane, telling me that money is the reason I stay in this industry is bull. Well, yeah. I am not happy and money can’t buy happiness. Aaarrrggghhhh….Torn between a lot of things. I know God has a reason why He puts me in this company, maybe to teach me a lesson or two or just simply use me. However, I’m really tired and my body is not getting healthier with the erratic schedule and stress.
Just yesterday I went to the doctor for check up. She ordered me to go and get a schedule for whole abdomen ultrasound and 8 lab tests, like crea, cholesterol, FBS. She said I am too fat that she is worried that the reason why I’m fat is that I have a more serious illness. She is considering me to have cholelithiasis and/or diabetes type 2. Will get the result of lab, later and ultrasound tomorrow. I pray to God nothing serious. But something is serious by the way, I’ve been constantly monitoring my BP and it was consistently 140/110. Not good. Tsk. Puyat at pagod. Tsk.
So now, a lot of things are in my mind. Weighing a lot of options, creating reasons to leave mthe business. If only my husband will allow me to.
Kumusta na 17A- Eper?
How are the best people on call center earth? Hehehe…
I miss this people. In my 1 month stint in Eper, I was overwhelmed by the friendship, loyalt and love of our training batch there. No issues, pure love and care. When one is sad, everybody makes sure that that person will be happy or at least smile. Though our batch was slowly “disintegrating”, we still keep in touch. Thanks for the friendship.
I miss this feeling
I really miss this feeling. You know, when you are happy about work and like what you are doing. The last time I felt this was around 2005 and early 2006 when I was still working for Peoplesupport. It just seems to be too fascinating a feeling because you are always looking forward to a long day of work. My man said it’s natural because I am new to this job so I still have the exccitement factor. But then, this is my 3rd call center this year. Imagine! I had 3 jobs in a year! I felt so unstable.
First company, I transferred from Peoplesupport, I hate it! I don’t like the account, some people and I just feel I belong. Second one, was pretty okay however the company sucks! I love the people, I have friends, but I was earning sooooooooooo little. Imagine being at work more than 10 hours a day then getting only aroun PHP 5,000. Good riddance!
Then here I am, with this company, Asia Pacific account, morning shift, people are the best, trainer is cool ( sorry Pao, but Raine’s funnier hehehe). What more can I ask for, I just want to wait for my first salary but I guess it will be fine because the reason why I signed up for this job first of all is the offer.
Well, I just hope I can stay here as long as I haven’t migrated.
React to Longganiza’s post
This is in reaction to Longganiza’s post. She is reacting how our work is in here, well not really work but the people we work with. As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, diverse personality talaga dito. Some are funny, some are cool and some not even worth mentioning. Minsan, parang isyu na that we’re doing na rin in our group, kasi kakainis naman talaga. Kasi kami, (seated on the rows Longganiza mentioned) we never talk bad about each other, pinagtatanggol pa nga namin ang isa’t -isa but they, they talk bad aboput each other, parang hindi friends.
Yun naman si Ampao, hehehe, actually I admired him because he is quiet, bihira sa isang lalaki. isang malaking BUT THEN, nagkamali ako. Kaasar kausap talaga. Puro pa-pogi , puro babae. Pero wala naman laman ang ut*k. Hehehe… Yung isa feeling may ut*k, at feeling Flordeluna, paawa effect. Kainis!
Yung iba wag na , not worth mentioning here, read Lonnganiza’s blog na lang. Nuff said!
Harassment
I’ve been reading this sexual harassment law in the US and I found myself looking at the present laws in our country. It is pretty sad that we don’t take this things seriously as American do. In the workplaces here, people are often heard with sexual comments and green jokes and that is nothing. In the states, from what I heard, they have this kinds of sexual harassments.
Verbal – this includes hearing other people talk about another person in a sexual way. This is very normal to us. We often talk about our sexual adventures or even how we perceive other people sexually regardless if we’re in a public place.
Visual- this includes bringing those mags in the office and other people seeing it. As simple as that, you can be reported to authorities.
Physical- common type and here, unless a person squeeze you booty you won’t complain but there, even simple
will be a harassment.
Here in our country these are often overlooked. See, in that article I’ve read, it really doesn’t matter what the intention of the doer of the action, what matters is how the receiver perceives it. In short, if your officemate don’t like to be patted and you did, good luck you’re on for a lawsuit.
Ji**…
Wala lang…si Ji** ay laruan namin…Hehehe…wait for the pics niya ha….Hehehe….
Dati tahimik yan, ngayon hindi na…kaasar na siya! Tulad nito..
Ji**: May asawa ka na pala?
girl: Oo.
Ji**: Talaga? Mukha kang single!
girl: uy, thank you…(with matching hawi pa ng hair!)
Ji**: Single Mom!

Huhuhu….

Tagalized
Grrr…blog blog…It is my 3rd week here in my new job. I’m working with 1 of the top 500 Fortune companies as a customer service agent. In short, call center na naman! Masaya dito, maybe because of the people, or my batchmates I suppose. Iba’t ibang klase ng tao, may seryoso (hehehe, actually hindi na ngayon!), may girls at merong parang girl.
First week- kakailang. Bago lang kami magkakakilala…Hehehe…eto na naman and suplada epek ko. Taas kilay. Ayoko pang maging close, nangangapa pa kumbaga.
Second week- hehehe…nakilala na yung mga kakaibang trip…May isa, inipon lahat ng kuko na ginupit eversince high school. Merong gusto maging trans-v na model, yung isa naman ano ba….hmmm…ang dami…diverse personality talaga…Ganun talaga sa call center iba’t iba…Dito kasi kebs kahit how old are you, importante kaya mo mag-english, mag-type at gumamit ng computer. Sobrang fascinated ako sa environment dito, ibang-iba sa dati kong pinanggalingan o baka ako lang iba dun. I bet pag nagpunta ako sa PS maninibago sila.
Ngayong week- medyo eto na..Nosebleed din kahit paano. Hirap ng DOS systems. Kami naman sa class. Eto grupo taca na. Siguro ganun talaga, iba-iba nga eh. One thing I can see, diversity made us somewhat one. Ewan ko kung may sense yung sinasabi ko, pero kasi nun sa PS walang ganito ( or again, baka ako lang ang iba dun kaya ganun!)
Eto lang muna, may gagawin pa kami at hindi ko maintindihan.
