No 14th month pay this year

Good for you that you are receiving teh half of your 13th month. In our company, we will receive the said payment in december.

I thought that you already received the half of your 13th month pay as mid year pay. Good for you that you are receiving an extra bonus aside from the mandatory 13th month pay.

Oh no, no. I will be receiving a different mid year bonus. I still get my 13th month pay in full at the end of the year. So this is more like a 13+ month pay. Anyway, in my previous company, we also used to get the advance payment for the the 13th month bonus. That is around 4/12 of the 13th month bonus and the remaining 7/12 during the month end of the year.

I do agree with you. I am already not expecting this to be given since the first quarter of the year had past. Just like what you said, sometimes it is nice to expect the worst so when you did not receive any, you will not disappointed that much.

Agree with you. Although there is nothing wrong having hopes in our hearts even we are expecting the worst scenario. Just like me, I was not expecting that we will have 14th month pay last year but still there is a little hope in my mind that there is until we heard the news that we will not have the said bonus.

Yes, glad to hear that. Just a suggestion: keep hope in your heart. As to me, I assume things could be the worst case but I never give up. I don't expect everything is going well so in case I will get prepared mentally and behaviorally for anything. In this case I won't be disappointed too much and still living positively.

I know that it was just a bonus and called 14th month since we receive the same amount as our 13th month. Yes this is not guaranteed and they said that we should pray hard until the book for the previous year closes. Last week, we received the news that there is no 14th month to be given. Many were really saddened by the news. I not that disappointed since I am not really expecting that they will give it. My wife just told me that if we got the said bonus, I can buy my long wished DSLR. I know there are other ways to get the money to buy that long-wished gadget. hehehe

14th month is considered as bonus and not mandatory. This is the announcement we are really waiting during our christmas party. However, this year they did not confirmed that we will get this but they just tols us to pray hard for it. Last week, we confirmed fromt he news that we did not get the said bonus.

That is one of the things I just thought of. Having a stable job that gives the salary in time is good enough. But of course, who will not be happy receiving additional bonuses like 14th month.

Hopefully friend. That will be an extra bounus in case we got it this year. Eventhough there is or not, I will still be happy to be blessed in other ways.

we always did our best for the company. However, according to the mangement, the financial status is not as good as the previous years. Some said that we will be very thankful if we will be given even half of our 13th month or even quarter just to motivate the one working for the company. For me even we did not receive it, I will still be thankful that I have my work as source of earning.
