Point of View : How To Be Promoted To VP in PGA
Being promoted in PGA (Prudential Guarantee Assurance, Inc.) is a tough experience for you have to undergo several steps and pre-requisites before you can be called “The Ultimate” I have listed the following pointers for those PGA’ers aspiring to be on top. (Spoiler Alert! : if you are not ready to be promoted and still enjoying the luxury of being in the non-management rank…please stop from here! Being on the top and rubbing elbows with the Coyiutos is not a bed of roses for those who thinks the pathway to glory is in their hands already…Im afraid to tell you that it is a different story…
1. Give-up your social life…being a VP will cause your social life to a non-man’s island for you have to attend numerous meetings that you have to stay in the office until 12AM and report in the office early at about 7A.M…
2. Consider your office as your literal new home…Please refer to number 1 for more details…
3. Learn to speak and act like an animal in steroids…Because you have nobody higher than you that you can boomerang all the “Putang-Ina’s” and the “Tarantados” you received…you still have your staff to absorb it right???
4. You have to make sipsip to all the people you need to cling on…choose your friends wisely…befriend the relatives of Coyiutos..because they will be the one to bring you up there…
5. Cheer for San Beda during NCAA and let Coyiuto know that you came from that school and that you are with the same Alma Mater…Coyiuto will give you a break…I promise…
6. Watch the concert of Christine Coyiuto and tell James Coyiuto that you are a fan of classical music and you are a fan of Christine Coyiuto…you will be blessed with a round-trip plane ticket to any destination in the Philippines…Thanks to Coyiuto Foundation!
7. Treat your boss to the haven of PGA…Figaro! Have a good bonding with them and I am sure you are close enough to fame…
8. Always be on top of everything! Contribute and afterwards volunteer to do all the chores and reports that they request…Be their slave..they love it…
9. Survive the “murahan” moments with them…if you can digest it by smiling after the moments…you are closer to promotion…
10. And lastly…The moment of truth…If you can demand to change the schedule of Thursday Marketing Meetings to Friday…YOU ARE THE MAN!!! maybe you are not just qualified to be an AVP…maybe a personal adviser of Coyiutos!
But I tell you…being on top is not as good as being down…The higher you are…the harder you fall…If this pre-requisitesdid not work for you…better scram…because the next think you will hear from them is…YOU ARE FIRED!!!
