Distance
All I have been blogging lately is about work. So don’t get surprised when I blog about work once again. HAHA!
My first job was somewhere in Alabang and I actually told myself that THIS IS THE COMPANY. I imagined myself working there for 5 years… 10… 15… 16… forever and ever *lol* Not only because of how close it is to home but of the company itself. The pay is good, benefits are okay, there are extra-curricular activities like sportsfests and summer outing. We also have treats every Friday called, Bib Treat! (Bib is short for Bibendum, the mascot of Michelin). Sometime in 2008, there were rumors that the company is closing down and true enough it happened. Our company sold their shares/stocks to the company I’m now working for so by September 2008 we were all moved to a new company. Unfortunately, we had to move out of our Alabang office because it wasn’t big enough to occupy 200+ employees. January 2009 and we moved to McKinley Hill, Taguig City. Working at McKinley Hill is a hassle especially for commuters because there isn’t enough public transportation going inside McKinley Hill. That’s why all of us who from the south (Alabang, Laguna, Cavite) misses working in Alabang. One of my officemate even told me that she’d like to go back and work at Insular Life Bldg (where our old office was) even if it means that she’d sell insurance sales leads and not do anything related to IT. The distance is really a burden to us because our salary is just enough, imagine my transportation expense every month is 6K 
I don’t get to save from my salary anymore because of my expenses And we haven’t had salary increase for 2 years already I just hope this year we get to have an increase even just to cover the 6K transportation expense I incur monthly. How I miss working in Alabang.
I went 0_0 when I read that you haven’t had salary increases for 2 years. If that happened to me, I’d be outta there in a matter of months.
But I guess I’m not as patient as you guys are. *salute*
No transportation allowance?
I really, really hope you get a salary increase too! It’s waaay overdue! They’re not taking care of their employees
