This is my 3rd time to set foot on the threshold of the Division Office. The 2nd was uneventful as the first and this – the third.
Though I made a lot of waiting at the very first, still i consider it pleasant and i was grateful the way it turned out. But to describe this third visit – it borders in FRUSTRATING.
June, July. Two months had already passed. I had finished my two months contract. August had also gone by. A month after my application for my claim of compensation was submitted. The date is September 4, 2009. I was there to follow-up.
I inquired at the Cash Section. “Your cheque isn’t here yet, Sir. Please inquire at the Accounting Department.”
I inquired at the Accounting Department. “Sir, had you asked the HR if they had already forwarded your application? Because we can’t see your name here.”
I inquired at the HR Office. I want to believe that “she” was searching and the actions weren’t just a make-believe. When it seemed nothing is to be found, she told me in a very soft voice “Pasa na lang po kayo ulit ng requirements.”
I might looked so calm but deep within me I was in a rage. A lot of questions in my head. I will definitely understand the delay but my papers to be MISSING? Is there filing that DEFECTIVE? It could be. Seeing “her” asked another employee to boot up her computer.
I don’t entertain suggestions or ideas which verge on corruption which most people are telling me.
On Tuesday, I will be submitting my papers, AGAIN.
I hope my next visits will have some improvements.
I’ll blog about it.
