| For Some reason this morning is kinda peaceful while walking |
Woke up early and
went to the quaipo area to settle a few business agenda's like buying a new
life size calendar for the house and inquiring on my college school on how much
is the schooling fee for marine engineering , and how much will it cost to have
a replacement TOR (transcript of academic records) document. Unfortunately for
me I wasn’t able to finish the latter task due the city holiday called
"feast of the nazarene" in quiapo, which meant that my school PMI
College is closed for that day due to the said holiday and worst I didn’t found
out until I was already there.
I was fortunate also
that "C.Pabalay" accompanied me to get the calendar.
Fast forward the
following day….
Seems that the
shower room area on the fifth floor of the building has some problems and is
currently under maintenance, unfortunate for me in the sense that when I used
one of the shower rooms it flooded and worst was the water that came up was the
one from the toilet. Resulting to my foot being soaked with sewage water and
had to get out of the shower booth as soon as possible , otherwise taking a
bath before work is worthless if I smell like crap.
One good thing
thought is that when I hurriedly got out of the shower booth to go to another ,
no one was inside the shower room or else they could have saw me walking around
butt naked and transferring my things to
next shower booth.
Inside the
production floor area…
Me and my co-workers
were asked again by T.L. John Rivero if we would reconsider in taking up the
working shift of 3pm to 12 Midnight. Some of the members of the group agreed or
didn’t mind it at all while others like me, mark and Joshua expressed our strong
opposition on the idea.
didn’t like the idea on the fact that, what
benefit will I gain if I do get on the 3pm to 12 midnight schedule? And to make
it complicated is that British local time is eight hours delay from the local
time in the Philippines , hinting that they will put us right in the middle of
a queuing work shift and that's not the worst part. The worst is that we only
got 2 hours of night differential pay out of the 6 hours we usually get on our
current working shift (8pm to 5am), To simply say it the management will be
putting us on more work and less pay in that working shift.
I strongly oppose
that kind of idea and working shift on the fact that I have nothing to benefit
from it and instead id be losing money in the process. And for the record I
don't trust TRANSCOM - yet. since they haven't sorted out our so called
"TECH ALLOWANCE of 2,000 PHP" which they promised (and signed up on
the contract) after the 3rd month of working here. If they can't straighten out
the issue then there's a valid reason why I shouldn't trust this "3am to
12 midnight" shift, they should sort this one out first then - we talk.
Otherwise I shall think TRANSCOM is just
scamming us on our salaries, more work and less pay. Business is business - I wont work extra if
there is no additional money to be put up and of for the record I don’t trust
Indian country manager - regardless what the companies reputation is. I have
heard a lot of nasty things about Indian bosses running the show unfavorable to
Filipino labor standards and I do hope
TRANSCOM isn't one of them.
During mid-shift on
the work I was pulled out by T.L. John , for a regular evaluation on my calls.
Unfortunately It turned out unfavorable on my end as it was recorded and was
caught red handed saying that on the phone that there is a "System Maintenance
Issues" when there is none at all.
It didn’t bother me though I got reprimanded on it , on the fact that
TRANSCOM isn't a very good employer and has some issues in regards to salary
dispute.
