Hello Blog!

It's been a while since I wrote something. I'm aware that the tech debt is so massive, I gave up update and maintaining my blog. Who would've thought that having PostCSS and other Javascript stuff can be a pain the butt on the long term.

To those unaware, I already had a job last 2021. April 2021 to be exact. I'm working on the company I've been eyeing since I moved back to Davao.

Last 2022, I bought a computer for the sole purpose of continuing on maintaining my website, but work derailed most of my attention. Working on the graveyard shift means I go to sleep after working.

Last 2023, I told my manager about what's about to happen since a brand representative came over to take notes on what we do. We had to report to the office for a week to provide a walkthrough of our tasks are responsibilities for the representative. For my manager, it was routine since the representative was a new hire. I thought something else.

We had a special queue on our internal tool where I grade people coming in before they could go on getting jobs for us. I noticed a few addresses and told my manager if we're expanding on that area. He wasn't aware about it as his contact didn't update him. I told him that we might be replaced in the future since the address provided was an office. He was in denial because, according to him, why would the client go with the new folks when we are already capable of doing most of the tasks at hand.

To be honest, I wasn't a fan of our performance because we had a bunch of issues my manager refused to address. Every time me or another colleague raises critical issues that would affect operations, he would be quiet or just rant about it without doing anything.

2024 happened and we were indeed let go. People in operations to be exact. It meant leaving our work at home privilege and go back to the office.

It wasn't a smooth ride, but I guess it a blessing in disguise because if I stayed, I wouldn't grow to where I am now. A lot had happened where I wasn't able to document it. I came to a point of letting people go in order to protect the interest of the team. Letting go of bad apples in order to protect our team culture.

Anyway, I've shared a lot.

Ciao!
