Before and After

Wow!! Time flies so fast that it's been two months since my last blog post. So many things happened, I get rehired by my previous employer, and realized many things. I was given the opportunity to fix (again) the company's computer network/system and in the same time have some little projects for my company. I've met my old colleagues and some new employees. I've heard again their endless sentiments and it's quite hard not to get involved but I tried my best to keep my cool.



I've met different top executives in the past and I've realized how much I've grown as a person. Now I know how employers and employees thinks. Their different perspective in getting things done, their different styles and their priorities in life and business/career. 

One thing I really don't like about supposed managers or supervisors even on top executives is when they panic. Panic is born out of fear. For me, managers should learn to lead because its how their subordinates see them. What will happened if everyone in the corporate ladder panics and although get the job done. Something else will be sacrificed in the process. It may be respect for your boss, yourself/confidence or quality of your work. 

I might say I really missed the old team on my previous company. The time when all of us are working as one. Not because of the money but we want to company to grow as we grow. We enjoy what we're doing and respect one another. At this point, I still believe that something good will happen and everything will turn out just fine.

  2. It is very rare to be rehired by your previous employer. I also believe that if the management is worried they should not look panicky no matter how tough the situations is because they are being watched by their subordinates.

  3. It's always a good feeling when you're back to where you previously work. They can recognize you right ahead and welcome you with open arms.

    Been there, done that. :D

  4. There's something a time when we reflect and see the world beautifully (and not material-wise or money-wise). And yup, life can be awesome when you think in a positive light. :)

  6. Great job going back to writing after a 2 month hiatus. Keep your head up. It's normal to find yourself at a spot where you need to compare your old peers to new ones but, as you said, things will eventually fall into place. Keep up the good work :)

  7. I agree. If those on the higher position will panic, how much more those who are under them.

  10. Managers should master stress management and remain calm when panic occurs. They should be the stabilizing factor in an organization.

  11. Panic is a prelude to chaos, as my old man always reminded me. Just keep your cool, man.

  12. Everyone in the company has a duty to perform. When each one does his part, panic moments are better controlled.

  13. Well, that's nice that you got the chance to work in that company again - you must like somehow because you came back. Sad that you are in a different team, though, but that's also a new chance to make new friends :)

  14. Loving our job makes us happy and want to improve more for higher salary and eventually for a higher postion. In any situations, we should always keep our cool and relax.

  15. Everything happens for a reason. Whenever bad things happen, good ones will also come. :)

  16. I've never tried any pressure or stress for a company work kasi I've never applied for anything. The last time I worked was during our OJT in college but everything then seems fine, maybe because there's no compensation involved.

  17. I couldn't agree more... managers are reasons for the success or downfall of a project . they need to lead and not to be bossy and have the composure saying "everything is under control-with the help of his/her subordinates.

  18. definitely!! more than the salary, it's the ambiance and relationship in the workplace that matters the most.. because if you are happy, you get to be more productive.. :)

  19. Respect! I definitely agree with you on this. While salary is important, it's not just the only factor that should drive us to work and do good in our responsibilities.
