How long have you been working? Do you find it easy balancing the demands of family and work?
I asked because there are those who are successful in the corporate world, but still would like to get out of their comfort zone to be their own boss.
On the other hand, I have crossed paths with people who don’t need a job but strives to be part of the corporate jungle. A few would rather work for someone else as an employee, rather than be part of the family business.

Every time I listen or read the news form the mainstream media, specially on the aspect of the economy, it’s as if doomsday is at hand. I’m certain the folks behind mainstream media exert considerable effort to balance their story, but the impression it creates, at least on me, is still negative.

For years, employers are on their toes to ensure that the sixth month of employment of probationary employees are monitored to ensure no unqualified proby employees will be regularized. Likewise, proper documentation is considered a must for the following:
- Discussion of employment standards/expectation levelling
- Job description
- Performance appraisal
- Employment contracts and
- Observance of twin notice rule
This is to ensure the decision to end an employee’s probationary contract will not be construed as whimsical.
But a Supreme Court jurisprudence about a case of a supervisor who failed to qualify as a permanent employee is rather interesting.
On the 6th month, the Supervisor was not allowed to time in and as a result, he sued the company for illegally dismissing him. But the court says there is no termination or dismissal but rather an expiration of his 6 month probationary contract.
