What Are You Thinking About?

[dreamur]

I was shocked when my boss told me last night about the new development that our work will be transferred to India. Just last week they even had a meeting in HQ with Manila head and HQ director on my transfer to NY (na sadly di kaya because of time, tax and location constraints) It's my job that is a major consideration kaya ayoko umalis nga. Parang pinapa alis ako ng tadhana



Buti ka pa you are leaving with your wife and children. Alone kasi ako and I will be leaving my family here. Do you have a job waiting for you there?



Purpose ko? Wala. I don't want to lose my green card and I want a US passport. I am not sure if I can find a good job there since I have no local experience and I don't want blue collar jobs (too old for that)



Nung una my Mom was pushing me pero past few days okay na sa kanya to give up my green card. I guess since nalalapit na pag alis ko, na realize niya na it won't be easy for her without me. Mahirap din sakin umalis kasi iiwan ko mga senior sa bahay.



Dami ko na masyado test of character sa Pilipinas.

I really have to decide kung mag re resign na ko kasi I have until Friday to submit my letter.

Why resign? You should get a severance package. Use that to start fresh in the US.

What to do with old, outdated IT books? Patimbang ko na lang ba?

How about old encyclopedia sets? Am guessing some info there is already outdated na rin.

100% Agree. Don't make the same mistake i made.

Pero sir, how to go about it? Mag AWOL ng 3 months? Do i need to punch somebody in the face?

Redundancy is the key word here.

Lol bro. Agree with spin. Should be on account of redundancy or restructuring. There is a legal process for the company to declare to DOLE. If the company is ordering you to resign without any just compensation, it may be considered constructive dismissal.

i googled, and was met by very creative ideas.

our old encyclopedia set that hadn't been touched in years, wasn't invaded by the termites that had invaded the wooden book case they were on. i wonder why..

Hindi ako pwede ma redundant kasi nakahanap sila ng opportunity for cost cutting.

January 2019 I told my boss that I was going to the US, I asked if I can "work from home" in the US (same salary, employed by PH but located in the US). My boss (VP) and his boss (Director) who are both based in Europe easily agreed on this arrangement, BUT since I am located in Manila, we still needed the agreement of HR Manila. That's when the problem started because Feb 2019 we found out that WFH arrangement is a maximum of 3 months. So my bosses decided to transfer my ID to New York. However, they did not have enough time because earliest would be August and my VISA expires in May, and then they found out that since I am located in IL and our office is in NY, there will be problems in terms of taxation because I have to be located in NY.

Mar 2019 week 2 the only option would be for me to take a Sabbatical leave. When an employee takes a sabbatical leave, the employee is technically resigned from the POSITION and when the employee returns, it is his or her job to find a new position. My boss (VP) and Manila VP assured me that they will save the position for me and guaranteed that it will still be mine when I come back. I do appreciate that they did everything to keep me.

Everything changed Tue night (March 2019 week 3) I dunno how high up the ladder who saw this pero they found an opportuniy for cos cutting na ilipat na sa India. 2016 pa lang kasi dissolved na yung team namin sa Manila at nilipat na sa India. That was he reason why dapa mag expat ako sa HQ bec my then boss (Alpha VP) put his foot down on Management na eiher Cathy is transferred to HQ or she stays in Manila (ibang story pa yun) 2017 Q3 my Alpha VP got sick and had to let go of his team so New (current) VP took over. 2018 new VP was questioned again by upper mgt bakit may head count pa sa Manila so he added another head count para maging 2 kami. Last week the other head count resigned, sinabayan pa sabbatical ko, so that was when management saw the opportunity na tuluyan na tanggalin sa Manila, nag announce pa ng possible merger kaya todo tipid sila. So that is why hindi ako pwede ma redundant. Re resignation, I have to fly on the last week of May kaya I need to file my resignation by Friday for the 60 days notice.

BTW, I told my boss, kung hindi rin lang naman ako under niya, magre resign na lang ako. I am used to being under HQ and I do love my job/position. I don't want to go back to report preparation or projects.
