I am an account manager for an advertising agency in Makati. I have been working here for a year now. This is my hmmmm nth job. I am young and very talented, but restrained with the policies of this company. For crying out loud, this is an advertising agency!!! You see, my boss doesn’t understand that because she’s a freaking Finance graduate! She’s the COO (child of owner), that’s why. She knows a lot in accounting (no kidding!), yep accounting, accounting the expenses of the company. She can find a way to cost cut even in the most insignificant supply. For example, she will endure the heat of the summer and not turn the a/c on to it’s max level just so she can cost cut. Like duh!!! It’s freaking hot!!!! I’ll enumerate the things she makes “damot”
1. Pens – She supplies her employees with new pens in fairness, but would blot the moment you finished wrriting your name. You can’t ask for a new one after that, she’ll be so generous to let you use her half empty pen.
2. Bond paper or any paper – If there’s a typo error in the document, she wouldn’t let you re-print it even if you are to submit that to the CEO of your client.
3. Electricity – She took the microwave home in the pantry because she was making tipid with the kuryente, leaving her employees eat cold baons bec they don’t have anything to re-heat their baons with
4. She turns the a/c off 5 minutes befor 5 o’ clock to save energy. Hello!!! 5:30 ang uwian!!!
5. Ink – One time, I really needed to print the coloured media calendar to be submitted to the client and my printer ran out of ink. I asked our office manager for a replacement and do you know what she said?
trisha: uy i ran out of coloured ink, hingi ako ng bago
office manager: ha? kc ipapaalam pa kay boss eh
trisha: eh may rush akong project eh, wala naman ibang pc na pedeng gamitin
office manager: antayin na lang naten si boss baka magalit eh. Di ba pedeng black na lang
trisha: hello! kung pedeng black eh di sana nag-print na ko, for presentation to eh
office manager: di pede eh
They don’t even buy new ink cartridge. They just have it re-filled. Sobrang asar! ooopppss I’ll continue this later, my bad breath 5th avenue, new york boss is here
