All my recent jobs have been found by getting “recruited” from other jobs. What makes me leave? Money. Why would I stay somewhere if I could make 20% more somewhere else. Even if I like my collegues, I like my family better, and they are the ones who I support first and foremost.

Or be self-employed. Start your own business.

Meron ka pa? Why didn’t you clear that out? Sayang naman. Well theres a new policy for the provident scheme. I think I signed up with the ORSO, whatever you call it. pero yung MPF makukuha mo lang ata if you’re retiring at age 60? Yukooo nun.

Give me your staff account number para makolekta ko yung pera. Haha.

no wonder. I had a feeling the spam eater ate my first post. doble kasi. sowheee…

I’m sure your boss will understand whatever your decision would be.
ps.. I haven’t collected the small amount I have in my provident fund as well.. may pera pa pala ako dyan sa hk!hehehehe

“It’s not easy though. First, as Pinoys, there aren’t many job opportunities back home that pay well. Second, again, as Pinoys, we just couldn’t help but give support to our family, even if it is financial. Third, again, as Pinoys, we are often regarded as second class citizens in otehr countries. hay naku! the list goes on and on…”

I din’t need to explain but that’s exactly what I thought. These are my concerns. I do feel that I’m becoming so sensitive with other things. I actually in the process of telling my BOSS a while ago. She would not be surprised since she find it so obvious when I asked about how long would a person wait to get their provident fund if they leave the job. I think I got caught red handed but I simply feeling the pressure there, I just want to think it over again.

*Your post was tossed away in SPAM box, it was probably your excitement over this post.*

when I was still working I often had those “should I stay or should I go” thoughts. For one, I did not want to grow old in the company. It didn’t give me pride to have a 5 year awardee or all those lifetime thingies that they give. I always wanted to have a life of my own and do what I want. I was dreaming of having my own company instead of working for one.

I understand your predicament in HK. I’ve been through the job hunting process over there and it wasn’t easy. They always require of course that you speak cantonese or mandarin. If you want to take a risk. take a calculated risk. Something feasible. Be on the lookout for work opportunities pero kung di kakayanin to quit your present job and look for work, stick to it muna.

pray.. it helps my 0.02.

sorry napahaba… i got carried away…lol

I have few reasons to admit tho that my current job has a lack of advancement opportunities. I am sitting down here thinking and listing the things why I am quitting. Sometimes when you hate something or several things about your job, it makes you so miserable and seems as if you just hate it all.

Well I’m keeping my fingers crossed and will sort this out in the next few days. Maybe I’m just tired listing out the bills to pay every month. It’s expensive to live around here.

*zips mouth*

Anyhoo, life’s tough everywhere K. My husband got demoted some years back… it was a ‘take it or leave it’ choice.. just like you, with too many questions in mind but with a family to feed.. I advised him to stick to it. No time for job hunting and waiting. Tough times.. but it’s okay… still very satisfied with life.
