Many of us where affected because of the coronavirus pandemic. It really hit hard our economy and that is why we are mandated by the government to just work from home instead of reporting to office. This is only to limit the case of the infected in our community.
I am a market researcher, in which this line of work belongs to a BPO industry.
When the pandemic starts, our company let us have the computers to perform our job, but the problem here is that they will not be taking care of our expenses from the internet and electric bills, in which we expect them to atleast give us a budget, but they don't.
Second is, we actually have a free meal of 70 pesos, we already have that issue that they will not take care of our expenses, but if they'll just give us the budget for our free meal, It would really be a great help. BUT AGAIN THEY DON'T!.
Third, we open up the concern to our manager about our situation that it will be really hard for us to cope up with the expenses because he has the capability to reach out the head of the office. But he just replied "I already raise the problem, but I can't do anything about it. Just keep your mouth shut and just be thankful that you still have your job. And also don't rant too much here in our group chat guys, they will never give you your budget meal. Like really? We are all taking care of the expenses and the way he replies is really sarcastic. Just shut your mouth? and don't rant? Well, what a really irresponsible company we have.
After two months of being quarantined, our community was lifted from Enhanced Community Quarantine to General Community Quarantine, and some business establishments are already back in track. So I also expected that our company will let us go back to office to, since we are just located really near to the office. But they don't. How can we be thankful with this kind of management that we have, since our salary is almost incompetent with the expenses. In which in our case, we rent a room that is near to a house with an internet connection. And that make us 3x worse than the situation of others. We pay the rent, the internet and the electrical bills. But until now the company didn't have a response about our situation.
You must think that I must be thankful that I still have a job. I am! I really am! but I am not thankful the way our company handle our situation. It's just really irresponsible.
I'll leave a sayings here. " You are the CEO of your life, some needs to be hired and some needs to fired".
