Training Allowance

The company that I stayed with for 17 days owe me the promised training allowance of Php 5,500 since I completed the number of training days, and after I returned all company-owned items (ID, manuals, etc.), I was promised that I will receive my check one month after my batch mates receive their first pay. I don't know why it would take that long considering that I have been cleared and all, but I had no choice. And since they received their first pay on November 10, I called up the company earlier today to inquire about my check. I was furious to say the least. They just casually told me, "It's not here, just try to call back around the second week of January (2010)."

Hello?! Are you serious?!

Since my wife is a QA at that company, I already asked her assistance regarding this. I know that life is not fair, but this is ridiculous!

A Sign?

7:55 PM Arrived and logged with the guard...

7:56 PM Sat at the lobby waiting for my scheduled interview at 9:30 PM...

9:31 PM Still sitting at the lobby...

11:00 PM Still sitting at the lobby...

12:01 AM Still sitting at the lobby...

12:54 AM HR Lady approaches me..

HR: Excuse me, may I know your name, please?

ME: *gives out complete name*

HR: *looks at list* Oh! Your schedule was supposed to be last night and since you were not here, you were tagged as No Show.

ME: Ha?! I was first given last night's sked and then I was told that I've been rescheduled for tonight. I was here since 7:55 PM last night!

HR: You were rescheduled? It's not here eh. Do you remember the HR who rescheduled you? Would you like to be rescheduled for Wednesday next week, instead?

I left their office feeling like I just had my head cut off. If that was a sign, then so be it. I will not force myself to go to a company that is on the other side of the city, one kilometer from the main road with REALLY bad roads. Yes, their pay is higher compared to a lot of other companies, but even during these times when one needs to be practical, I don't think that's worth it. Professionalism is something that even the uneducated can do, and it's sad to know big companies with highly educated people don't know what professionalism is.

Will I be going there next Wednesday as they rescheduled again? People are encouraging me to give it another try. I would like to but something keeps telling me not to. I don't know. I still haven't decided yet.
