The Price of Hardwork

I started working when I was 17, I initially worked in a Quick Service Restaurants here in the Philippines. Employees in this type of business are immersed into a large pool of competition, we received intensive training, especially in everything we need to learn about self management.

I was the youngest employee to have the opportunity to be a team leader, taking most of the responsibility and I know I have to do very good. Since then I started to exceed everyone's expectation, I always make things all taken cared of.

When I shifted to a different industry, the Call Center; Outsourcing Business, I welcomed a lot more opportunities to improve, things that I don't do before were worked down in the training. I feel becoming a risk taker, I always do my best. Taking a lead all the time.

I just don't get it, I worked very hard, contribute for the company, help the company earn good, but what do I get? I worked hard and somebody else will do the reaping.

Why do all the things I worked hard for are accounted to other people, is it because I don't put myself in too much? or I might be the type that just wait for the promotion. But I don't get it, someone else takes the fruits of my hardwork. Well one thing I know for sure, things are getting twisted and are getting more difficult, this present wicked system is very unfair to those doing it the right way. And the only thing I hope for is God's help. And have more patience, more and more.
