Dictator

While browsing the Net eh may napansin akong blog entry and hindi na ako nagulat sa reaction niya mula nung ma-hire at umalis sa company (which is dun rin ako galing..). Here is a part of his blog entry dated last July pa; pasensya na I have to omit the name and the boss of the firm baka mamaya eh kasuhan pa ako..

I hear the higher-ups of ******** (Worst.Employer.Ever) have decided to block several social networking sites. Now, I'll be the first to admit that this isn't at all uncommon as a practice, particularly in call centers. However, that's because of the nature of the work. In the case of the good people I left behind at my former workplace, social networking sites like Friendster, Bloggger, and Multiply are their only lifeline out of the ******** pit of filth.

At least, they were when I was working there. Don't those two (**** "Hitler" **** and **** "Stalin" ****) realize that they're killing the already low morale of their writers?Of course not! They're idiot! They wouldn't recognize the truth even if it hit them right in the face with a left hook! Seriously. The last time I saw people that dense was watching that atrocious abomination of a show called Pokemon.I realize I'm still ranting about a company I used to work for and that it has been a long time since I was last there, but still. That place gave me the writer's equivalent of an anal violation for each and every day I was there.

That place drained my mind dry of a lot of creative and literary potential with the excessively, obscenely high quota and the atrociously low pay. I realize my own stupidity for actually staying there, but there has to be a certain point when you're not the only one to blame.I'll freely admit that I've complained about my previous employers before. e-PLDT, Ambergris, EduNara, and even TeleTech got their fair share of whining real estate on this blog. I'll also freely admit that every place I've ever worked in, no matter how short, I've learned something. Even from the infamously badly managed ********, I learned a thing or two.

However, there is something that makes ******** infamous, something that makes the management style of **** and **** stand out as the worst single office I've ever had the displeasure of being in. You see, unlike my previous companies, ******** shares a trait with the city of Makati when I think about it.

Like Makati, I hate ********.

Reaksyon ko, wala naman tama naman kasi siya kagaya rin ng ibang company, overwork/underpaid thing na iyan. Hindi naman iyon maiiwasan talaga lalo na't papasimula pa lang ang company pero hindi ko ipinagtatanggol sila. Maski kami naman eh naranasan yan pero nevertheless eh utang na loob ko iyon sa kanila sa mga oras na wala akong work eh sila ang nag hire sa akin hanggang tumagal ako nang ilang taon sa kanila.

Iba kasi ang department nila, mas pioneer kami kaya mas may tiwala sa amin na tuwing OT pag weekends eh iniiwan niya sa amin yung office mula umaga hanggang gabi. Iba management style nila wala silang pakialam talaga kung anung gawin mo sa office basta gawin mo ang work mo kahit maglakad lakad ka pa at mag patintero kayo.

Pero iyon nga lang, mahigpit sila masyado at medyo greedy sa pera, yung tipong gagawing ta*** ka pa talaga na sasabihin na nalulugi raw ang company pero tingnan mo naka ilang kotse at bahay na sila sa ibang lugar at pabalik-balik pa sila mula sa ibang bansa, pero wala naman sa akin iyon, at least Ok ang pagalis ko sa company. Tama na siguro yan past is already past, much important now is the present at yung future mo, at least may natutunan ako sa kanila.
