Monday morning. Excited to start the week enthusiastically. Hard time looking for what to wear. Arrived at the office late for about a few minutes.
12:40
I went up for urgent meeting. My co-trainees were saying "pinapalista ka ni Ma'am Lotta kasi wala daw collar damit mo saka bakit daw naka-shortpants ka". Blah blah blah. Sir Gani, assigned to watch over the GIP trainees, talked about our salary, ID, attendance and stuff. He called my attn saying I'm not wearing the right clothes for the office. (what's right to wear and what is not anyway?) Miss Lotta actually mentioned it last Thursday on our orientation program BUT "wearing loose fitting short pants" was NOT INCLUDED. Hindi lang yan, pinatayo pa ako sa harap ng mga co-trainees for about 5 minutes. Standing in front, looking extremely embarrassed, I just smiled and said sorry for wearing those. Pinaupo na ako. Stayed calm like nothing really happened.
Back to my department. I was very excited (nothing to brag about) to say what just happened on the 15th. Miss Bea felt really bad about it, about what that HR guy did to me, IN FRONT OF PEOPLE! I was like "it's ok, it's my fault" well in fact it's not! (i just wore what's proper, FOR ME but of course acceptable with everybody in this company)
5:12 before leaving the office. Went to the rack. Bundy. Time out. Officer in the HRD asked me to be in her office immediately. I was thinking of maybe she's going to asked me over again but it's not. (btw she's the one who interviewed me on the first screening. In short, kilala niya ako) After the long talks, she said sorry for what happened, t'was a mistake. Idk why i felt like crying that moment pero mas na-feel ko na pahiyang pahiya pala ako. I just realised: okay lang mapagsabihan for what you did (for them) wrong, it's more humane. But the fact that he did it in front of people, THAT'S TOO MUCH. But in the end of the day, I learned my lesson :) Not to wear loose fitting short pants? NO! Follow THEIR rules. :)
