Abundance inside

Intel has been (or still is) a very good company, no doubt. And despite the stressful situation that everyone is currently into, most employees will still agree that Intel Philippines has tried as much as possible to show how each one of us has been so valuable that our personal or career development is one [...]

Getting over with it

I’m quite sure that at one point of every person’s life there came a time when he’s into a situation so desperate and frustrating that he would have nearly called it quits. I for one had several of those situations when my life almost seems to have had crumbled and that the feeling of [...]

We are in the news

On Wednesday, Jan 21, 2009, the heart-breaking news spread like wild fire – the corporation has finally decided to cease its manufacturing operation in the Philippines.

Of Death and Reunion

I’ve got some weird concoction of things running inside my gray matter since the start of the year. And since last week everything seems to have happened in topsy-turvy manner or as what I sometimes describe things in the production floor as chopsuey – just a mixture of different things.
