Despite its metropolitan pretensions, there are some residues of riffraff culture in "modern" offices.

Here are two of them:

1) Requiring new employees to spend their first paycheck on a big blowout for all other employees to pig out on.

Solution: Ask HR to counsel everyone and explain that this is a sign of deep loneliness manifesting as a severe eating disorder.

2) Soliciting money from employees to support the funeral expenses of a person whom you never even heard of.

Solutions:

A. Ask HR to investigate whether such a person indeed died .
B. Advise the "bereaved" to seek help from their barangays instead--and, if the barangays cannot help them, why should you?
C. Ask them where THEY were when YOUR relatives died.
D. Require them to sign a receipt with their signature on it.

With these--and more--are you then not surprised that many Filipinos would rather work in other countries?
