Does school really matter?

[_Cathy_]

Actually the problem with hiring someone from a top university is that they have no intentions of climbing up the corporate ladder. They're more likely to take their first job for experience and leave after a few years before building their own start up or joining the family business.

They wont have any real ambition for a promotion in their job. They would work but they simply wont do the extra mile since they don't need it. No way in hell would they go to work on weekends since they dont need the promotion or the overtime pay.

My bosses and colleagues know that I will NEVER go to work on a weekend or holiday. I don't even get asked anymore whenever week-end overtime is needed because they know that I would rather die than go to work on a weekend. I don't mind staying in the office past midnight but weekends and holidays are sacred for me. This is what my Kuya told me when I started working. He said that work should never be taken home as well.

Not working on week-ends and holidays also saves the company cost on OT pay. There was an issue in our company where employees are staying overtime but not really working Ever since then OT approvals have been very strict. I rarely charge OT but now we are required to put commentary on reason for OT. I stopped charging OT for an extra 1 to 2 hours of work a day because I don't want to be bothered with commentary (i feel it's demoralizing) AND it's my little way of helping our company cut costs and for better numbers for my boss (The OT of my boss' staff gets monitored and it's better if OT in his team is at a minimum)
