Sense of Deja Vu...

But this time, there is a pandemic to blame.

Like many companies around the world, ours (soon was) is laying off employees and the whole team I’m in is listed in their 3rd batch. 

Surprisingly, I’m emotionally fine when I got the news. Probably because I’ve been in this situation before in Globe Telecom, where I actually expected and hoped to grow old in. What is heartbreaking was hearing and seeing my immediate supervisor deliver the bad news. It is undoubtedly the most difficult task to do. :( 

Currently, I’m still ok but I’m too disoriented, I feel like my brain cells are scattered everywhere. My anxiety level is at 999 because since the pandemic, I am the only one working. The utility bills, my own bills, groceries, mom’s meds or any emergency gastos are on me. *My gahly*.

Since we got the news, my diversion is non-stop browsing in LinkedIn, JobStreet, Kalibrr and all other websites where you can see job openings being listed, sending out my CV like candies, and composing cover letters. Fortunately, there are a lot of openings -- and they’re currently on Work From Home status until further notice.

Together with my teammates -- my family at work--  will meet up next week to submit the needed documents (clearance), return assets, and pick up the stuff we have in the office. When I think about it... the last time we saw each other was March 15[?], or when the quarantine started. When we meet or see each other next, it will also be kind-of the last time after spending more than 8 hours a day with them for almost 4 years.

I have been working for a total of 14 years so I have been with a lot of different professionals. However, I can say that the bonding with my team (Center of Excellence) is at the top of my list. I’m still grateful for the fun times and happy memories formed with my teams from the 3 previous companies I was with, for without my experiences with them I dont think I would learn some work ethics. But this is the first time I felt the family vibe at work. I trust that we’ll meet again really soon. :)

For now, its just another waiting game. I’m psyching myself that this too shall pass. God will never put you in a situation, nor give you challenges, without a safe way out.

Got my travel pass today; PS. available since last week.

This is crazy when government doesn't honor your security. I the upper left image, it is a list of LSI's complete names with contact number and Provincial address. I had the same paper where I signed to get these docs, I even give this set of docs back because I didn't expect this was it. Now checking each page, there’s this part where Brgy Captain didnt sign, but still is okay for release? Government always go for whatever's convenient for them, and not what is efficient nor effective. It is a facepalm work.

The Egg, The Poor and The Cross Had there been no pandemic, pictures of easter egg hunts would have flood facebook. Decorated or painted, eggs are hidden indoor or outdoor then searched. Prizers awaits the winners while the eggs are mostly left uneaten. For the less privileged, the eggs are a treasure, it is the prize itself. It is an answer to hunger that gives strength to search or hunt for the next meal. Sadly, in this time of pandemic, there are people who shun, elude, smirk or worse forget about them. Those who have power over them, trick them. Those who empathize, treat them. What is dreadful is that there are MANY who regard them as an afterthought. They are mocked, ridiculed or scorned before being treated. From an outsider who helps insiders become alongsiders, Craig Greenfield, he has this for us to ponder; “Firstly, let's recognize that Jesus chose to identify with the most vulnerable children and people at the bottom of the heap throughout his life and ultimate death. Born homeless, as a member of an oppressed minority in the Roman Empire, he came to be seen as a troublemaker, rabble-rouser, dissident, community organizer, agitator, nonviolent revolutionary, renegade, rebel and traitor to the Empire.” Today, may we remember Christ and those whom he is identified with.
