I found your blog through your comment in Julius' article. I'm a software programmer like yourself, also doing web stuff, with a target of becoming a freelancer in the Philippines when I'm back there for good.<br/><br/>Office Space is my favorite movie because it's so realistic. Lately I've been very stressed out too, almost to the point where I feel that I've just had it, parang sobra na talaga. I was wondering why work stress is so much more unhealthful in the US rather than the Philippines, and after months of thinking, I finally got a theory as to why -<br/><br/>While software development work is stressful in both the Philippines and US, the difference is that in the Philippines, there are many more de-stressors. In the office environment itself, there are many ways to relieve stress, the lighter side of life is a part of the work environment. In the US, there are lots of stressors, but hardly any de-stressors, both in and out of work, people are too serious, and no one has time for leisure activities as they are all exhausted.<br/><br/>I'll be posting new articles related to Philippines Work once I get there next month! -rob Hi, rob from philippinevoyager here!
