It's no surprise that the way things were handled this year is the same as then. Not that I'm "reverse bittering" (or am I?) though, but what happened is a sheer microcosm of the real world-- no more places for much deserving people, only for the ones who go through the infamous backer system.
If you don't know what "backer system" is, maybe it's about time you do. Definitelyfilipino.com in its article entitled "The “Backer Phenomenon” in Philippine Employment Process" mentioned that it is when interviewers prefer to look directly at the “referral” section of the applicant resume. They tend to scan it if there is someone you might know or had referred you to the company and if it does have, well, most of the time you’ll get hired a.s.a.p. Amazing, isn't it? Now you know the monstrosity that is employment in the PH, heh.
I personally loathe this process. It is not just because people could get their way easily sans hard work, but also because (much) deserving people were robbed with positions suited for their capability and probably, a chance to prove his worth and turn things 'round that might not just be a big help for him, but for the company as well. Sad as it could be, opportunists just use this to have an outstanding record and/or for their own political, social, and even sexual (lol) ambitions. I've seen how peopleclose to me get things done by this one hell of a medium and all I can say is f. Vying for a position to have some place and status? Great, and you call yourself a leader? Just my two cents, I'd say it's pure bullshit. We all know that they're just after some nice piece of shit to add on their resumes, right? Fake. But really, do we need this?
I don't know, I sounded too harsh and activist-ish, and I am fully aware that man is by nature a political animal so...
...
Self, you are going to be mighty fine one day and this won't matter anymore. Promise. Pinky swear? Now move on and forget this 'cause this, right here, won't hinder even your wildest dreams.
