Can’t help but compare YJ Song to HG Kim. Song is on leave right now. He will be back next week. So for the whole 2 weeks I have to report to HG Kim regarding my works.

Mr. Kim is really great compared to Mr. Song. I’ve never heard him complain regarding all the works that is not related to his department anymore. Never heard from him a line “I am not a (insert position here).” This is the line of Mr. Song. For example:

“I am not an HR manager.” (Everytime he is asked to check something related with the HR works especially when Mr. Kim is on leave)

“I am not a travel agent.” (When he was ask to check the flight of our VIP visitors)

“I am not a driver.” (When he was asked my our GM to drive for our VIP visitors)

“I am not a secretary.” (When our GM ask him to do something)

These are just few examples. That’s why I can’t help but compare him to the other managers who were asked to do something not related to their JD anymore. Never heard them complain the same way Mr. Song complains.

‘Quiet quitting,’ and all of that, I just don’t understand it. If it’s just a paycheck to you, if you’re getting by on the minimum, and not trying to be perfect, or God forbid, if you're screwing it up on purpose,  why are you even going to work? Save your pennies and quit. Find something else you can take pride in. If you’re spending eight hours a day on something you don’t take pride in, it seems to me that somewhere, deep down inside, you’re a phony. Maybe not a phony. But you’re deluding yourself. It’s going to spill over into the rest of your life.

Happy birthday Papa Meling. I miss you. So much. I almost cried in front of mama while telling her how much I missed you. Then I remembered it’s your birthday today.

Happy birthday again Pa.

[mitchays]

I missed you again. Just the other day I told Mama that I missed you. We talked for hours of how happy you would be if you’re still with us today.

Lately, sige nalang kog reminisce sa akong time sa naa pa ko Hanwha. Sige ra mig panlibak sa amuang mga entitled na kauban pero happy ko sa trabaho, sa company ug sa sweldo. Fulfilling ug appreciated pa jud.

Tawon karon, sige ra gihapon og panlibak pero dili happy sa trabaho, sa place ug sa sweldo. Dili pa jud fulfilling tungod sa workplace politics ug dili pa jud appreciated ug overloaded pa jud sa work.

I miss Hanwha!

“All good things—including physical health and the skills needed to earn a living—are blessings from the hand of our loving God. Even when we’ve worked hard, it’s He who sustains us. Oh, to hold our blessings with open hands, that we may gratefully praise God for His kindness to us!”

"Leaders hold a position of power or authority, but those who lead inspire us. Whether they're individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead, not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead, not for them, but for ourselves. And it's those who start with "why" that have the ability to inspire those around them or find others who inspire them."

— Simon Sinek, How great leaders inspire action
