You weren’t really that much of a snacker before you became an office employee, right? Have a difficult client pitch to get through? Bring on the chips. Stumped on how to write that email proposal? Chocolates help stimulate the brain.
7. You gotta “embrace the suck” most of the times.

It goes without saying—working in a corporate job definitely means the higher-ups or the CEO him/herself will have the last say. Sure, they can pool everyone’s ideas, even hear you out and commend you for your out-of-the-box ingenuity. But at the end of the day, they can veto everyone’s recommendations and go with what they want.
8. The importance of SSS documents, PhilHealth, et al.

Remember the first time the HR would make kulit about your requirements for SSS, PhilHealth, and such? And didn’t you protest like a kid after learning that they will have to deduct from your already meager sweldo? Well, when applying for a bank account, a VISA, or any of the other adulting things you will soon have apply for, you’ll realize the importance of it all and thank your company’s good ol’ HR managers.
