Think Your Way Out of the Pile

No one wants to feel "invisible" in life, yet we often let others see us as little more than a statistic, especially when working in a large company or sector, like BPO Philippines. 

Referred easily as 'applicants', 'employees', or 'human resources', our individual personalities are being buried into 'a pile' of numbers, labels and data.

Most people go into the pile, doing what’s asked of them but not much more.

Having a beloved working in the same company may even lead to productivity and better performance because you're motivated to even work late, particularly if you can work alongside your partner or work while waiting until when her/his shift ends.

These are the pros when dating someone in the office, but here are the cons:

When You're Disappointed with Your Job.
