An establishment in Laguna was facing criticism from the netizens for posting a high requirement for a bagger position.
In a Facebook post, Newstar Calamba Laguna shared the available position for their establishment, which included a bagger tasked to pack the groceries being brought by customers.
Netizens raised their eyebrows due to the requirements posted by the establishment for the said job.
According to Newstar, a bagger prospect must be at least College level, but they also accept High School Graduates as long as they already have experience working in the retail industry.
Applicants must also have at least six months of experience in the retail industry.
They also indicated that people who wanted to become a bagger must have “passion for excellence in providing exceptional customer experience, interpersonal communication, multi-tasking and flexible & able to perform under pressure,”
Netizens criticized the company for being too strict on their requirements for a job with a very simple task.
“Sa ibang bansa tulad dito sa saudi kahit matatanda na basta lokal sa bansa nila at gusto pa mag trabaho tinatanggap parin nila. priority nila mga citizen nila kaya mga amo namin kahit magpa lipat lipat ng trabaho okay lang at isa pa wala silang kontrata magtrabaho sila hanggat gusto nila. kaya sa ibang bansa dami matatandang guard lalo na sa mga school isa pa mas mataas pinapa sahod sa lokal kesa sa mga expat. sa pinas lang tlga ata yung ganyan dami hinahanap. edad, pleasing personality, college level or grad etc tas sahod maliit,” netizen Jethroloyd said.
“Dapat pong ibagay naman po ng tama sa application sa work dahil kahit no read no write po ang applicants pwedi po give also the opportunity to those lack of education,” netizen Nora remarked.
