“The Employment Ladder”
The moment I took this photo, I never really thought about its meaning or logic. Until I realized that their position and their ages - 35, 27, 19 (L to R) - are perfect metaphors of how usual corporate structures are.
Aya Fernandez on why spreading false information should NOT be a crime in the Philippines:
“Pwede tayo maglaan ng batas pero hindi kailangan gumawa ng mga bagong batas kundi pagbutihin ang mga nandiyan na.
Ang question dito ay sino ang may pangil. Who holds the truth? Ang mga nasa kapangyarihan. If we will criminalize spreading false information, IT WILL VERY BE MUCH ANTI-POOR.”
Nailusot ni Aya ang napakahirap na side sa debate shuta!!! LIKE KWEEN 😭✋ #YSpeakFactCheck
I dunno what to feel right now. 3 out of 3 of my subordinates straight up told me they would like to apply for a regular position across our division.
Their current position is only project-based so I can't expect them to not grab the opportunity when it opens. 😞😞😞
Luckily, I was rushed to the hospital with a fractured leg only. Unluckily, I wasn't able to attend the oath-taking and has a lifelong trauma of crossing streets.
From then on, I decided to trust my guts.
It was June 2019. I just passed the board exam and was about to take the oath. 3 days prior, I took a side hustle in a professional organizational magazine as a writer. I went to their office at 8am to do an interview, and to work on other articles overnight.
As a people-pleaser though, I decided to push through. And behold, I was just a street across their block when I got sandwiched between two vehicles. The road was slippery and the speeding vehicle had no time to stop. It hit the parked car, with me in the middle.
