Hi! Been working remotely for about 2 years now and 9 months na ako dito sa AU/PH na company. Nung nasa previous companies ako I would say na I am an ambivert, kaya ko makisama sa peopel sa officr (the people were great sa precious company ko) pero there are days na i just want to focus on my task lang din.

I eas given an opportunity to work remotely and grinab ko siya. Pansin ko lately is parang namimiss ko rin mag work on site. may part kasi na parang pag wala akong nakikitang office my mind plays tricks on me na pwrde nalang mag laho bigla yung work? naiisip ko rin na i miss the interactions and banter with workmates paminsan minsan. Yung bang on some days maliligo ans mag bibihis ka. sometimes working remotely kasi blurs the thin line of work and life ehh.

To counter this,

-naliligo ako before shift! nung una kung 7am shift ko, gigising ako 6:55 which I avoid na. Para kasing na ooverwhelm yung brain pag from 0 to 100 agad ehh.

-I go out everyshift! it doesnt matter kung may gala, or literal na iwawalk lang ang dog, i see to it na lalabas talaga ako ng bahay.

-I also try to stay active, 3x a week ako nag gygym and sa ibang days ay sports.

pero lately kahit gawin ko to, medyo nabuburyo ako paminsan minsan. dont get me wrong, i dont miss the commute and all. pero I know na you'll understand what I am saying na nakakaburyo minsan 😅

pahingi tips please!!

Hi I just turned 29 and I feel that I will be at a crossroads of my career. I am currently working in a private company for almost 9 months now na fully remote. I earn 50k gross. The good with this comoany is yun nga, fully remote siya and there is work life balance on most days. Pero lately naubos an emailg team ko since they pursued better opportunities.

The cons of my current company is medyo unstable siya, both sa structure ng company and financially. Nasa startuo stage pa siya kaya things reallychange a lot tapos medyo revolving door lately ang employees, ang daming attrition. Meron kasing round of layoffs last year kaya peoole don't feel safe staying here in the long term. siguro matagal na ang 3 years na nag sstay dito. Ang benefits also is 13th month pay lang and no othet bonuses. HMO is for myself only with no depepndents. Sa totoo nag eenjoy naman ako dito kasi ang convenient ng setup plus relatively high pay as an engineer. nakakatipid rin ako. Pero ayun i can't plan long term rin dahil nga minsan unstable yung company.

Now I have a final round interview with a national government agency. No brainer sana kung yung salary eh higher kahit onti. pero mas bababa. from 50k gross, magiging around 36k gross lang.. and although the same province naman siya as mine, pero its about a 1 hr and 30 min drive. so for sure my ipon would take a hit here. Pero would the government benefits outweigh ba the paycut? also the long term stability of working in a government rather than a volatile (but comfy) wfh job? enlighten me please and dont hold your punches. This is my first time coming close to working in the government ehh.

Is anyone here working for Department of Energy? kamusta po ang life inside DOE? currently applying as SRS1
