Kung kelangan mong umabsent, either with leave or without, para lang makasama sa isang family gathering or dinner with friends, do so.

You can still find work in case you lose it. But it is harder to find a replacement for a friend or anyone dear to you.

If I could enjoy my morning and not wake up at some ungodly hour and do some yoga and eat a nice sit down healthy breakfast my productivity would go up at least 50% and I’d be happy at my work and not want to quit! this concept I’m talking about is a results oriented work environment. ROWE and we should all demand it
