because i am only a tea boy?
I came here in Doha through tourist visa which has 28 days allowed to stay. It was a very difficult experienced for me to find a job with a minimal day to apply. My current company offered me a job at the time as a sales executive, unfortunately my boss assigned me as a tea boy because the nepali tea boy at that time was on vacation..but when a nepali guy came back from his vacation he was transferred in the other field as a laborer. I worked as a tea boy for 2 years but I've learned a lot in office works without the helped of my beloved Filipino secretary. I learned how to do invoicing, I learned how to write inquiry, quotation and making purchase order to our supplier local and abroad. When my boss gave me some paper works my beloved kabayan secretary got jealous and told me that work was for him. He wanted me not to learn in office works. He is a very clever person in terms of hiding his paper works and not to show me how to do invoicing and any related office works. Just to make the story short after two years I applied to another company as a Store keeper and offered me triple of my tea boy salary with accommodation and transportation. But my boss did not give me a release, I demanded my boss to give me another work and increase my salary otherwise sent me in my country. My boss knew my capability and he promoted me to work in accounts Department.

BUT CHANGE THE TITLE OF YOUR POST. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN...MY SUCCESS STORY FROM TEA BOY TO ACCTS ASST. AND CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEABOY JOB. BECAUSE IT IS AN HONEST JOB.
Congratulations! keep up the good work :-)
nice ;)
Congratulations! Thats quite encouraging! But noticed that some people kinda have stupid replies though!! But anyway, the world is full of fools!! Don't argue with them lest you be one!
just ignore him.Congrats and just be yourself...
A lot of similar stories like this happen here in Qatar, just always strive to do your best and never give up during times of trials, never step on someone to push yourself up and you will surely succeed.
Im happy for your to grow, sometimes or most of the time talaga ata na kapwa pa natin kabayan ang hadlang sa pag angat ng isa pa natin kababayan. Yan na talga ang mentalidad lalo na sa labas ng bansa natin. Nakakalungkot man isipin palagi na lang inggit at kasakiman ang nangunguna sa karamihan. But im glad you fight for your right!
a very inspirational story....
I know God has a good plan for me and my family...
the other forum. here you will be appraise even by other nationality and can tell the whole world that you are proud being a filipino!!! keep up the good work and continue what you have started!!! May God is always be with you.
Don't mind those people who is not being supportive to you.
“Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.”
KUDOS to you...kabayan! HOOYAH!!
..a very inspiring story, thanks for sharing!
Peace!Ü
bottomline .... TWO THUMBS UP johnpur!!!!!!!
from the story, the guy did apply for a sales executive, meaning he has the qualifications (presumed to be having an experience and qualifications). Actually, as per his story, the company offered him the position but apparently, he ended up being a teaboy which I find disgusting (but maybe because he had no recourse because of visa issue).
What I don't like about his story is mentioning the irritants between him and his "kabayan" secretary. His promotion can be considered a delayed one since I think he has the qualification of an office employee and not a teaboy?
And that what pisses me off, the irritants between the two "kabayans".
Just like you guys, dont judge me because you don't know how I protect my "kabayans" under me that many times I stand for their defense even putting my positions sometimes in a compromising way! Wait 'til you become me in my company (run by other nationalities which belittles Filipinos capabilities), and why I am piss-off by irritants between fellow Filipinos.
I would rather keep it internally rather exposed to everybody! Some are just "bragging".

Great story
================
easy come easy go...
DMS , did u read / understand the content of his story ? its look lyk ur the only ONE confusing and every one hir is gving appreciation ..
Kabayan Congrats !!!
you must be so proud of yourself, imagine from a teaboy you now works in the accounting department and you were able to learn accounting stuff from your own volition....keep it up and who knows maybe one day, youll have your own secretary too.. dream big and work hard and keep your integrity intact...
har work will always be rewarded
gtim
exactly...
gtim
DMS has his own way.....he is the big wig based on his frofile....
the reason why d'mighty is so pissed off coz he is the personification of that secretary... "crab mentality"... why not be happy of other's success instead of putting them down...
So DMS is also a filipino... LOL.. ( I can't sense it from his post)... thanks Johnpur... for defending our kabayan...
kabayan, there is always manager vs head, teaboy vs secretary, someone vs someone.
In the office space there's always office politics.
My philosophy is to do my best and never hurt anyone climbing to the top.

congratulations on your success story kabayan! if there's a will there'a a way! though you made an honest mistake posting your topic in a different forum, my hats off to you kabayan! as richard gordon's motto always say "Aim High Olongapo" hehehehehe
'SO DARK THE CON OF MAN'
Bai, just continue doing good & hardwork, how i wish u become the boss of this "clever" kabayan as u said.. PEACE ..
Actually my job is GM from sunday to thursday and saturday would be for my spying job
You are already mature here in QL, by then you should have learned to control your temper.peace
if I say I am a PM, that's my job, is "spy" your job?
ANd yes, let's stop what you started as personal attack!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
lol tatay!!!
anyway, dmighty solomon, I'm a filipino and you're a filipino though you don't act like one(no offense) so lets stop this and continue to the other threads.peace
johnpur
i like you....
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
humble...heheehhehee
Rizks take it .. and were is my banadol :)
newbee? how sure are you?
haha,you don't like the Title of my profile! funny though I feel the same way about your Humble Profile
Project Manager!hehehe! Project Manager my Ass
You should know better than that
you are just a newbee, Johnpur, as you mature in this forum, you'll understand what I am saying! We are not talking of same intelligence here, we are just talking of pure sense! And personally, I don't like your title in your profile. it somewhat not okay. Spy is only good for James Bond, but for others, it connotes negative notoriousness! My own view only, no offense meant!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
Again for the last time dmighty solomon, not all of us are equal in intelligence, me myself sometimes loose my initiative.
sometimes the title is not relevant but what is important is the content.
He said his filipino co-worker because it is in fact a filipino, ok maybe it's irritating for some of us to hear but admit it or not it is the truth, that some filipinos has the bad attitude of being jealous with fellow filipino.
anyway, to the author of this thread, please keep this simple advice from me "Less talk, Less mistakes"
i need bebsi and bobcorn party my priend.
Im happy for you kabayan..everybody knows how filipino's work, It is very true that some of our kabayan instead of pulling us to top they pull us down, that's how jealousy work, but despite you've proven already that you deserved most than others..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
CHEERSSSSSSSSSSS
as I analyze it, he just want sympathy and personal appreciation!
On the other hand, okay, make more improvement for yourself which you will definitely use in getting a better position!Is it a good advice now, Mr. Spy?
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
Congratulations kabayan..
dmighty agree with you.........he should have atlest complimented his collegue once for whatever little things he taught him.
Aana free, jaana free,
Pakde gaye tho khana free.
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
but that's not his purpose in making the thread! Read the title..... and the specifics he mentioned!
He could just said, "inspite of all the hardship, I trained myself to learn new techniques and more skills that I could use for future endeavours, blah blah blah"... And not to mention the specific of his fellow Filipino worker as if he is emphasizing the bad character of a fellow worker.
Analyze the thread carefully and checked where the emphasize is!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
again a filipino story
jonpur instead of debating with others why dont you give the newly promoted guy a little advice for the future to learn and grow even more.....tell him stay away from QL during office hours or else they will demote him back to teaboy.
Aana free, jaana free,
Pakde gaye tho khana free.
Dmighty, as I had said, not all of us is as intelligent as you are knowing that you are a project manager as you had stated in your profile
What you are trying to say is that he should had posted it in the right category, I agree with you. But as a kababayan if you are really one, don't you think you could just spare the guy from further criticism and just say a simple nice thing to him for his patience and determination towards his job.
Why ants and rabbits are fitter than lion to survive in most environments???....I think it is cat and dogs....they can even swim!!!lol.....a big applause for a job well done....Mabuhay ka!!!....Mabalos!
it was a simple ranting or venting against a fellow worker. If it was presented in a general way, maybe I would. I acknowledged his improvement, what I don't is the ranting!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
pinoyaccountant : Thank you !!! :)
good stuff man...
"maraming salamat mga kabayan...gusto ko lng i encourage yung iba nating mga kabayan na ngtratrabaho bilang teaboy na huwag mawalan ng pag asa at huwag ikahihiya ang trabaho nyo...just continue to learn...and grab all the good opportunities...."
thanks kabayan (fellowmen). I just wanted to encourage our other kabayans who work as teaboys (or laborers) not to lose hope and be proud of their job.. just continue to learn... and grab all the good opportunities.
whew!!!
"Adda ti adal na, ngem awan ti sursuro na."
johnpur. Your appology greatly accepted with my open arm.
from the title itself, it was not meant to signify his achievements but more on his ire against his fellow worker!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
What you are saying is that if it is something negative about Filipinos, then it should be posted in the Filexpat group. If its positive then its OK to post in the open forum..
Why don't you just lookm at it from the viewpoint of a fellow Kabayan working against the odds and achieving something ?
sorry novita, i'm not being sarcastic towards you, what I ment was we filipinos should unite and if a fellow countryman cannot be with us in giving moral support to those of us who has achieve something then better for him to be with the ones who condemns us
dmighty..
it is about the achievement of our fellow kabayan...let us just proud of him....
keep your eyes wide open before comment here, and half-shut afterwards..
congrats kabayan!!!keep it up...god bless u
to tell me what to advice? If it is derogatory in some extent, he should have posted it in our forum! Hopeyou get what I meant!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
have a nice day dmighty :).
johnpur, oh no poor me not being a filipino.
besides this being in the wrong section the post is so stressed on the problems he had with his kabayan....in the end when the promotion thing came up....i thought he was promoted to serve tea in the accounts dept.
Aana free, jaana free,
Pakde gaye tho khana free.
good day Novi,time to prepare for work!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
still.. as ms. novi said...the story of Qatar. Employees do not have the freedom to choose for a better earning job.
sad..
"Adda ti adal na, ngem awan ti sursuro na."
Who are you to tell which or which is not to be brought up on board, for me the topic is sensible to discuss, yeah he posted it in the wrong category but not all of us cares, I don't even check where the topic is posted and just read it.
Novita, us is us filipinos and them is other nationality and that includes you who is not a filipino
yes i am dmighty. Taking my son to aspire shortly ... he play small parts on the opera.

"maraming salamat mga kabayan...gusto ko lng i encourage yung iba nating mga kabayan na ngtratrabaho bilang teaboy na huwag mawalan ng pag asa at huwag ikahihiya ang trabaho nyo...just continue to learn...and grab all the good opportunities...."
------------> alien language to me ... translate pls.
who is 'us' then who is 'them' ?
he should not bring it up on-board. There are more sensible topics to discuss! And "cost of living"? I know he is "living", and the "cost" he pays to achieve his present position! Lol!!!!!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
dmighty, aren't you happy with what our fellow friend had achieved.
Put this in your mind as a friendly advice.
If you don't wan't to be with us then be with them
harry ur probably the only one who discovered the exact reason behind the post.
Aana free, jaana free,
Pakde gaye tho khana free.
So the real issue is that God forbid a Kabayan said something wrong against another kabayan and disgraced the whole nation ..
When will you realise that as with Brits, americans, French , Greeks, arabs etc etc, there are good and bad Filipinos also.
No harm in airing the old laundry in public..
Nice story with good morality, no need to tell me why?
you are not alone, many Filipinos has the same experience as yours. keep up the good work.
Harry99, exactly. That's what's got dmighty so pi55ed off. Relax man, your country still lives on. Geez.
ang galing mo pre
no need to tell your origin! Now we are not the same of your co-worker, we are not hiding anything, as Novita said, learn where to properly post your thread. Lol!!!
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
good work bay! be careful he/she might find a hole to knock u down okay?

I think dmighty, the guy was just trying to share his accomplishment, remember not all people are equal in intelligence
let your office mate die of jealousy and envy.

Well done...Hope your Kabayan Secretary is filled with envy..
and it is posted in 'cost of living' :o)

first, he comes here on a tourist visa. Then he accepted the tea boy position although that was not the position he applied for. And what confused me more is the title of his thread, what to do with his story? Was he compalining or what?
"Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship"
work harder kabayan ... good for you :)
haha! great!
been busy working, but now t's all done and ready to mingle again
hellllloooo johnpur, not seen much of u on QL today.
labda06 :-)
DMS, he wanted to share his experience that having patience being a teaboy put him where he is now...that if there's a will there's a way...thanks kabayan for sharing your hardship experience, hope that this will serve as an inspiration to many...keep it up!
