athena tea 🍵

hello everyone

just want to call out yung mga misleading news and chismis sa subreddit na ito kasi sinong gusto ng fake news at drama diba!

i'm an employee of athena (di ako om or anything managerial, just your regular xp) and i've heard / read posts about the recent changes sa athena about pto buyout and all that stuff

una sa lahat, it's not tru na we're not allowed to file yung pto haha hindi lang siya pwede na i-encash if ever hindi mo magamit because meron din kaming cto (client time off).

what is cto? so for every holiday na pinapasukan mo, you get 1 day of leave in exchange na u can take anytime ON TOP of ur PTOs.

the reason behind this PTO buyout is may CTO na kami + may pto pa kami which leaves us about 40 days of leave per year (rough estimate, don't quote me on this), wala pa yung SL dito guys, pero i hope it makes sense na walang company ang mag eencash ng ganyang amount of leaves? also the logic behind it is you get to use your pto or cto for vacation na paid ka pa rin at nakakapagpahinga ka for ur sanity. win-win pa din naman kasi technically wala ka lang one time big time pto encashment pag end of year na pero meron ka pa din 20 days of paid leaves na pwede mong i-file kahit kelan mo gusto?

di ko alam bakit ang daming misleading posts dito, on top of our PTO buyout, meron pa kaming 14th month na irerelease next week, tapos yung 6 months na lock in makes sense kasi madami naman nagreresign after makuha yung bonuses which can be company losses if ever madaming umalis? parang sa call center lang yan, hinihintay lang 13th month tapos bye bye na agad

on top of the 14th month and PTO buyout, dinagdagan din benefits namin. di ko gets bakit di to minemention?

anyway i'm just here to clear things out kasi. alam ko naman may iba ibang experiences ang fellow xps ko sa clients nila and sa oms nila pero share ko lang ang totoong nangyayari sa loob when it comes to the issue!

long post but sorry na HAHA
