SariOne of the most crucial part in launching an account in the BPO industry is the hiring process.This is the beginning of things in an operational perspective.Once the job description and roles and responsibilities are defined, it is now time to sit in endless interview sessions to find the best fit.The recruitment process will usually start in the morning. Most of the times, it's called initial interviews.The process may vary, depending on the need of an account.Ours, will require three different categories, back office support, data analysts and of course, the customer service part.Quiet frankly, it gets exhausting. In about two or three weeks, training has to commence. Melai and Travis are just about to finalize their separation from the previous company, same as with J and Stacy who will be joining the entire training process as well. Both of them are joining the company as team leaders. The pioneers. The entire training process will be initiated by a Six Sigma trained p

Austin"She didn't do it for the sake of just doing it Austin. She had her reasons. Turns out, she had to make a deal with Collin and his wife to save her father. He's been bed ridden for three years and she's the only one who was making him alive. The doctor's influence and money just made her survive through all of it."People do go to dark places just to survive. "At one point, Collin's wife brought her to this playhouse. She said it's the house for swingers and asked her to do the deed with someone else who's not Collin. That was the borderline for her. She left the company, ended her connection with them and left. At the same time, her father died.""She had to sacrifice him for her freedom?""It was more of letting go than sacrificing. Alam niyang hindi na maibabalik sa dati ang tatay niya. Even the doctors recommended for her to stop the life support. It was something that's long overdue.""No wonder she was too secretive.""The same goes with you, hindi ba? You had your secre

"This isn't a co-incidence is it?"They were now laying in bed, legs slumped over each and their bodies facing each other. Sari's arms wrapped around his body. "I'm sure it is."She found out he's the hotel's  head chef. Must be the reason why he has always cooked her great meals. "Why didn't you tell me you work there.""I was getting to that actually." he caressed her arms wrapped around him.In her mind is the thought that she just kissed Austin and has now just made love to Dash. "I just didn't want you to think that I am oversharing. HIndi naman natin napag-uusapan.""Should I have just asked?""No. You can always ask in your own time. I don't mind.""Why are you so good to me?""Because you are also good to me." he planted a kiss on her forehead. "I'm worried about my plants.""You shouldn't be. Nandito naman ako. I'll take care of them.""But aren't y

Sari"Well, that must have taken every power in you.""It did. It wasn't easy. It just felt like we have always been engaged and will never really get married."I don't have to ask who's fault it is. It will never be important. When choices are made, faults should never be counted. It is what it is. "Are you happy?" "I am devastated right now. But happy, I think I will be soon. It's the one thing I have to look forward to at least.""That's good to know.""How about you Sari? Are you happy?"The question did not even seem to sit in instantly. My eyes roamed the entire place and landed on the one man who seemed too impossible to have. He was happily dancing with Travis' mother, laughing like what the woman she's dancing to is saying is the funniest thing he has ever heard in his entire life. "When will you ever tell him?""Tell who what?""The man you can't seem to get enough of this entire time.""Do you mean Dash?" "No. Not him." he sighed, "I know being with Dash is easy, comfo

Dash"You said you did something bad."I did something bad? But why can't I remember anything?I tried to recall everything that happened that night. I wondered if I was too drunk to recall a single thing. My people in the kitchen were now on lunch as I sat in front of my oven, pouring myself a glass of wine. As the liquid slowly filled the rim of my glass, a sudden splash of memory came to me. Right here in this kitchen. "You mind filling me with some of those?"She leaned against the kitchen door, a wine glass in hand. I sat in one of the stools across my kitchen table. I just saw Sari talking to Austin. My mind was fighting just moments ago if I should intervene or just let them be. Sa huli, nanaig ang kagustuhan kong mapag-isa. Perhaps to think about the things that I have been doing. Now, Shane approaches me with a glass in hand, asking me to share a wine. "Fancy seeing you here." she glances at the entire kitchen."This is my turf. How about you? Why are you here?""Silen
