Family first

My friend T’s hubby is now assigned in Davao. He is a senior accountant of one of the top corporations in the country, and he goes around the company’s branches in connection with his work.  This makes his family a sort of “traveling family”, as other times they stay also in Manila, in a condominium provided by the company. Interesting lifestyle they have, isn’t it?

I remember he was about to leave the company for another one, with lesser position (and also for a lesser pay?), but when he was called by management for a heart-to-heart talk what really was his reason for leaving the company, it came out that it was the stress which goes together with his top position in a department that made him decide to quit while he was still young and physically fit, while he still need not worry about medical treatment, diet programs or apidexin scams.

With understanding, and a not-ready-to-give-him-up stand, the company transferred him to another responsibility, less stressful but still needs his kind of a VIE, in his case, Very Indispensable Employee, a “relative” of VIP, Very Important Person!

This entry is then a salute to our friend A, may your tribe increase! And congratulations to our friend T for having a responsible hubby, not only as a father and husband, but also as a model employee as well.
