I keep hearing from the guys on the floor that having a Democrat elected is a bad thing. They keep saying that once he's in position, he'll put a stop to all outsourcing and even reverse the growth here in the Philippines.
Me? I don't think so. For starters, that would run counter to American big business interests. They outsource to save money. And they'll spend money in lobbying to keep their savings. And secondly, Obama isn't a hardliner. As President, he'll compromise with the Republicans... Even if the Republicans are a small minority now.
As for our company, I don't think we'll be affected. We're not an outsourcing company. We're inhouse and we work directly for our company. No ifs, no buts, we're listed as employees in the corporate headquarters.

I just hope that new tax code kicks in soon. I've been paying a ludicrous amount of tax each pay. It's getting awful. No telling if the tax we citizens pay is getting spent wisely. Too many corruption to suit my taste. If my tax payment is going to be wasted, then I better waste it myself.
Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to my 13th month pay. You see, I've never had one before. I have a messy job history.
