What Day of the Week is Your Day Off?

Hi juggerogre: I totally agree with you. If I don't have enough time for myself I would feel like a slave, because I would only have time to eat, rest and return to my work and that's not the kind of life I expect to have. In this case. I'd prefer to have my opwn business instead of working on these conditions. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

@juggerogre --Government employees in the Philippines are lucky because you will enjoy 2days day off each week. You can do alot of task in your home during the weekend and you can spend more time with your family every week. @starsailover --Yes I agree if we don't time to relax and spend to our family we are like slave. We must have time to enjoy. But sad to say there's a time for us that we have no choice. In my case I don't have choice, I came here for work so follow the flow of your new pace of life. I am only given time during night to enjoy and sleep.

@ puccagirl -- I checked your profile and you are from Israel. What a coincidence Philippines and Israel have similar days of day off. Better to have a 2days day off every week so that you can do whatever you want specially bonding time for the family. You are lucky to have a 2 days day off every week. @starsailover -- You are from Mexico mate. In our country specially private sector, employees can choose their day off. If you have a good workmate you can make a deal for exchanging time of duty. It depends on your agreement. I don't think if I can apply that here if my office because we don't have reliever if I am out of work.

Hi pucca girl: Neither do I but sometimes I have to change it another day due to the work we have to do here and because of personal issues. For example, next week I'll be celebrating my sister's birthday so I ask a day off and I'll have to work to recover this day later. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Hi ellago: It's nice that you have your weekend off. Some people only have their sunday off in my country and I think this really gets me down because I have always had my weekend off and I don'twant to change this habitude. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Hi Hatley: I would like to have enough time to keep myloting and I think I'll find my way to do this. however. This won't be so easy being a lawyer because, even if I love my profession i will have to dedicate so much time preparing my speeches and the intelectual support to the things I will defend. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

Hi Stephanie Ann C: Now that I'm on my final year of my university and I only have to finish my final project it's like if I'm on permanent vacations. Of course I have to keep working on my final job and I don't lose time, as I say I work part time on a cyber cafe. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

I have Philippines friends too. They were my ex colleagues working in Intel Philippines. Unfortunately, I have lost contact with them after I resigned from my previous company. I have heard that the Intel factories in Philippines are shut down. Ya, you should pay a visit to Kuala Lumpur and take a look of the Petronas Twin Towers. The KLCC shopping mall underneath it is a good place to visit as well. I hope one day I got the chance to travel to Philippines. Happy posting and have a nice day!

Your living in Malaysia, a country near in the Philippines but a different culture. Lot of Filipinos are working in your country and they shared to how an employees live with regards to their day off. Hope I can visit your country soon to experience Petronas Tower. Anyway, you have a good idea in having your day off during working days because less traffics and malls are lesser shoppers so you felt relax.

hi, sorry for the late response.. yeap, we have a parliament... 13 states + 1 Federal Territory... after the last General Election.. 3 states are now run by 'Opposition Coalition Parties'...

I saw your profile and I found out you're from Malaysia. Your country colonized by British before so maybe you got this from them. I admired Malaysia because you are not like Philippines colonized by Spaniards and for more than 300 years. Just know that you have 3 states that ruled similar with Saudi Arabia. I thought Malaysia is not divided to states. Your form of government is parliament?

Hi o0jopak0o: I agree with you. It's always good to have a day off when the almost the rest of the world is working . In these cases I love to go to the movies. I think that, when I find a real job, I'll ask my boss to give me vacations on low season for the same reason and for the lower cost on hotels and everything. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

In my country Saturday and Sunday is the time for government employees day off. They will enjoy 2 days relax, time for their family and some other stuff. It's different here in Saudi Arabia. I don't know what's the reason why it falls on Thursday and Friday. My Senior Boss already gone. He said to me before he left that he will never comeback because of some family problems. He came from India. I am closed to him because of his nice attitude. Hope I can have a day off even he is not around.

Hi common man: That's what my dad usually do and what I don't want to do in the near future. For me I won't like to go to my office on a day that it's supposed for me to be free. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Hi as your responsibilities and accountability in offices increases, you wil also feel need to go office during off days to manage the show.

In my contract I am entitled to have a day off ones in every week but due to associates demand my boss cancelled all my day off supposed to be every Friday. It's very hard if you don't have any day off within the week because you don't have time to wash your clothes, shopping or visit other places to be familiar with this new surroundings. Although I am compensated per hour but still I need time to relax and sleep for the whole day or do some online stuffs.

Keep the faith ... compensation is good in the long term if it is fair :)
