    ^ In some cases they'd rather hire less skilled, but cheaper, younger employees rather than retain the more seasoned ones who can do the jobs of 2-3 new hires. Seems to make sense to management though -- they treat employees like interchangeable parts.

    Sinasabihan ko yung kapatid ko, watch out ka na -- kaliwa't kanan yung pag offer ng early retirement sa opisina nila

    That is what they are doing, I myself almost lost my job as it was transferred to India. I owe my boss in HQ a lot as he defended my position and said either it stays in Manila or goes to HQ. The others weren't so lucky...

    Company loyalty is now a thing of the past.

    So is job security. No one is indispensable.

    Sad state we're in....

    ^ i definitely respect the guys who've spent a lifetime in their chosen profession/company, but i also envy the guys who can juggle one or two "sidelines" while still putting out good work in the office. If they suddenly get the pink slip tomorrow, kahit papano me alternate sources of income, be it from skills, passive investments, part time business, etc.

    Whether it's your fault of not, sabi nga nang nasa taas eh, mauna na sila bago ako.

    Blame game in the corporate world is like politics as well. Cutthroat.

    Agree bro.

    The shenanigans are petrifying.... no permanent enemies nor friends.... appalling!

    In some companies i know, the level of corruption is just too shameful.... talagang sindikato!

    Basta Meron offer Na mas mataas, go Na agad! Loyalty nowadays is overrated.

    To a certain degree, i agree with you dear bro.

    In retrospect, and in my limited experience, jumping from one company to another (because of better opportunities) may be beneficial for a person in the long run.

    The person gets to meet a lot of people of various disciplines and socio economic status, gets exposed to different cultures and becomes more flexible and forgiving.

    So, when the time comes when he/she needs some help for whatever undertaking whether another job or his own initiative, he has a relatively larger pool of people who can help him....

    Just my thought...

    Present.

    Never stayed longer than 3 years in a company I used to worked for.

    12 years in the corporate world. 8 companies. 4 industries. 4 of those companies, hatak ako ng mga former colleagues ko sa industriya.

    When i started my own little raket, those people i know were the first clients of mine, and their friends and colleagues.

    I remain in touch with 90% of those people, from the big bosses to drivers, not to mention the secretaries, which is the most reliable source of information

    Kaya lang di ba walang honor and self-fulfillment yan. I used to be that cunning but when I reached that financial stsbility. Parang dinaya ko buhay ko

    I always felt that something's remiss. Life is not about money. It's about losing too from loyalty and learning from that and keeping on

    Like for example, i'm reading and watching about the Shogun and those chinese kungfu who became loyal with their masters, and then later in life they became masters commanding many people.

    I think that is what each of us is to suppose to do, to accumulate people in our chosen field that we will command and hate and love and despise.

    We are created in God's likeness. Im sure God has some despicable men and yet he still loves them.

    I think your path now, though it is fulfilling only serves your purpose. You are not connecting to anyone in higher power sense of it, and that will bite you in the back later in life
