Natawa naman ako sa mga comments ng mga galing SG. I miss the fast-paced environment ng SG. Dito things are a bit slow and less exciting compared sa SG. Kung 1st time mo mag work abroad ma cuculture shock ka talaga. My friend was so happy nakahanap sya ng accounting job after grad dito but only lasted for 2 months, naninigaw daw yung boss. I told her people will always try to intimidate you but you must hold your ground - let them know na competent ka. Hello, nag sunog tayo ng kilay to earn our degrees. Keep your head high, wag lang sa kapwa nating pinoy but also sa ibang lahi. Sabi ko sa kanya ang problema kung mismong trabaho natin ang palpak, yari talaga tayo dyan. As an employee, the only bargaining chip we have is our competence. Di maiiwasan ang mali but keep it restrained.

In my experience naman... generally speaking, wala namang 'BAD' na out of the ordinary..
meaning wala namang ako naranasan na I wouldn't experience anywhere else like Pinas and Thailand where I worked..
Like meron at meron naman talagang mang-iintimidate sayo, especially kapag bago ka, or may mga somewhat subdued work-related bullying na magaganap... kahit sa pilipinas meron nyan.. minsan nga mas malala pa..
If ever man may na-observe ako dito.. is that hindi pa ganun kataas yung confidence level ng mga locals dito sa mga pinoy.. at least in my field and industry in engineering...
For instance in countries like the US, alam nila na kahit sa mababang paaralan sa ilalim ng punong caimito ka lang grumadweyt sa Pinas eh kaya mong makipagsabayan sa kanila.. or like siguro kung nurse ka sa UK for sure alam nila na may ibubuga ka..
Dito, parang kapag wala kang Masters or PhD.. medyo tumataas yung kilay nila ng very very light kung alam mo ba talaga yung mga pinagsasasabi mo... or even if my post-grad credentials ka man, kung hindi ka grad sa Australia.. medyo it will take a while before mo ma-build yung credibility mo so to speak..
Pero so far wala naman akong naranasan (or na-witness) na sinigawan ako or minura.. depende siguro sa culture and size ng company..
Even sa Pinas, I know some companies na normal sa kanila yung mag-murahan especially if heads would roll kapag may bulilyaso sila..
'So I'd say try to balance din kung 'bad' ba talaga yung experience or situation nyo.. or sensitive lang tayo masyado.

Recently got hired, 3 days after lumabas from quarantine. Pero after that interview madami pa ako inatenan na iba para mahasa sa face to face at panel interview. Pero alam ko na na hired na ako kasi kinuha na referees ko, nagbigay ako kagad, advisable to para email nila kagad. The next day, Yung friend ko na supervisor sa SG, nagsabi kagad sakin, pacheck na pa kung tama ang reply nya, very happy ako kasi ang ganda ng ginawa ng reference letter. Another day ulit, nagsabi ang isang reference ko dito sa AU na tumawag sa company nila ang boss ko to verify my character reference. So dapat yung trusted na referees at maganda ang sasabihin about sayo.
2 weeks na ako sa hospital and all good naman. A breath of fresh air ang description ko sa mga kasama ko, pinoy, Aussie, Indians. Naka smile sila at willing to help palagi.. kahit hindi sa akin, sa bawat isa. Blessed to be here!!! All the best sa lahat!!!

Mga Kabayan maitanong ko lang sana, ang 187 visa ay required mag stay sa sponsored company for 2 years, ang tanong ko lang, pwede bang saktong 2 years ay umalis na ako at maghanap ng ibang employer? halimbawa dec. 22 ang ika-2nd year ko, pwede bang sa dec. 22 na ang last day ko sa company kasama na ang 4 weeks notice? salamat po sa sasagot
