How to deal with bobong HR sa work?
For context 3 araw akong di pumasok sa work kasi nagkaubo at sipon ako. Though minor health issue, nagconsult ako online since may dry cough na ako na di nawawala way before ako nagkasipon.
Day 1- Nag notify ako sa acting TL namin sabi ko, "Nagfile ako ng SL. Paki approve." At 10 am nagmemessage yung HR kasi lacking of courtesy daw yung message ko but in my defense, the brief notification is the courtesy itself because the leave management system we use automatically notifies managers and team leads of any filed leaves. Na una pa magsermon yung HR bago Ako nireplyan ng acting TL namin. Ang claim ng HR lacking of courtesy daw yung message ko pero nung nag-explain na ako na di yun rude and not trying to be rude, nag counter na naman sila na wala daw silang sinabing rude ako at the same time ayaw daw nila ng misunderstanding between me and acting TL kaya sila nagka-clarify. All of this happening habang ubo ako ng ubo sa bahay. Almost defeating the purpose of me resting.
Day 2 - Nagfile ulit ako ng SL since nakakuha na ako ng medcert and was advised to rest for 3 days (Mar 2-4). Di ako nagnotify pero nag message yung acting TL na nakareceive sya ng notif na nagfile ulit ako ng SL tapos sinend ko yung copy ng medcert ko.
Day 3 - Nagfile ulit ng SL pero no issues this time.
March 5 pumasok na ako even though inuubo pa rin ako and boom may NTE nang naghihintay sa akin. Ang reason ng NTE eh yung TL daw found the notification I sent as inappropriate, not meeting the level of respect she expects and the notification is directive by nature instead of being a request.
Back story: Naka maternity leave yung totoong TL namin and because she is the next most tenured sya inassign as acting TL. Di kami okay nito kasi mapang-agrabyado siya in the sense na she drove out 3 of my co workers out of the workplace by spreading lies about them and bullying (Oct 2024 to May 2025). Yung unang natanggal di ko close pero from what I remember pina NTE nya din, sabi lack of communication though di ako sure ano laman ng NTE pero just a few days later tinerminate na tas pinalit yung long time jowa ni acting TL ngayon. 2nd co worker na natanggal ginawan nya ng kwento na pinagbantaan daw si Now Acting TL and jowa na papatayin pero based sa accounts ng other co workers na nakawitness ng scene eh wala naman daw ganun at ang sabi ng isa sa mga witness silang magjowa pa nga yung nagsabi na pag sila daw ang kantiin, kawawa yung anak ng ex-coworker ko. Yung pangatlo, binully lang hanggang sa mag awol.
Nireport ko na sya dati sa same HR Personnel na nag serve sa akin ng NTE today pero di naman pinansin. Lagi kaming pinagdadabugan sa office plus yung pagiging hostile nya sa amin ng mga kawork namin dati bago pa sila natanggal/umalis pero for some reason malakas ang immunity ni anteh.

Now HR wants me to take accountability kasi she's basically offended sa direct to the point na notification of absence ko. Is it my fault na she failed to be logical and deliberately chose to misunderstand me?
Sorry, kung magulo yung post and walang proper punctuation. Just typing whatever goes into my head.
