    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!

    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...

    About a year ago, we bought this supposedly "heavy duty" stick mixer, and it worked well up to this morning -- one of the buttons sunk down and wouldn't pulse anymore.

    i opened it up:





    The button assembly is basically made of cheap plastic, which is not meant to flex. It's only a matter of time before the other button also gives. It doesn't take an engineer to know this is poor/crappy design.

    Quite disappointing, since i encouraged my mother to buy the supposedly better brand, thinking it would last longer. While it's being used almost daily, it's only being used a few minutes at a time

    i think the warranty just lapsed last month We'll be sticking with the older brands from this point on.

    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

    OB, mind interpreting the gospel today (Sunday)? Perhaps we can learn a few lessons on humility.

    Humility is the greatest misnomer. Humility should only be afforded to God. Humility to other men is never altruistic coz men who practice want something in return, at times, they only want a blessing from God if they do kindness to other people,

    True humility is when you achieved something, and if you stand before God, you know your achievement is nothing,
