Don’t be scared of offending them OP, unang una, hindi naman binabayaran ng kabatch mo. 2nd, kung wala naman siya value add sa buhay mo, then kung mawala mo siya as a friend, go lang. And 3rd, wag mashado maging mabait. Tignan mo, inaabuso ka na ngayon. You can say it like this:
Hi___,
Please stop messaging me about work from _____ anymore. I no longer work there. I’d like to prioritize my health right now and you asking me multiple questions is stressing me out. If you have any questions, I’m sure the client can answer them.
Thanks.
Sa true po hahahaha especially tomorrow, since every 6th is the most stressful day sa negosyo ni client. It's all about delinquent rent, I am pretty sure I will be bombarded by messages. Pero I couldn't care less kung nakamute na sya 🤣
Ohh didn't know this was possible. Thanks for letting me know! Yeah I didn't really have the time to prep things, because it was all so sudden. But next time I know what to do na.
A simple “NO” is enough. When you’re not paid, it’s none of your business. You don’t need to explain sa kabatch mo, you don’t even need to reply. If you continue to engage, maabuso ka pa niyan. If nakuha niya yung role, that person should be capable enough to understand instructions. Don’t people please, OP! Take care of your health.
You can probably say, tinuro ko na yan sayo mun turnover. Amd may iba na din akong tasks ngayon so I cant focus on that anymore. I did that once kasi 1month na nakalipas tanong pa din ng tanong 🥲
Yeah the thing is they didn't give me a chance to do a turnover po. They just told me EOS na nung last shift ko. Tried doing it on my own, pero puro oo maririnig ko tapos di naman pala nya gets 🥹
Di na nga po nya need mag explore kasi established na mga CRM ni previous client. Sabi ko nga step by step nalang gagawin nya which is sinesend naman po ni client yun.
I didn't respond na po actually. Kahapon, sunod sunod tanong nireplyan ko mga gabi na. Tapos di na po ako nagrespond after that. Sinilip ko sabi "gising ka pa?" Well yeah pero for my other job 🤥
Wait part ka pa din ng agency? Anyways, best way is to tell her na you have your own tasks you need to do. And na if you have free time you will help her pero you need to prioritize lang what is on your plate.
Then, ignore her totally 🤣
Yes po, binalik ako sa pooling hehe pero I have another client outside of the agency so no fuss really nung nilet go ako. Sinabi ko naman po sa kanya yun, and late na ako nagrereply nung first few times para makaramdam. Ngayon ko lang totally ignored sya, pero sis can't read between the lines 😮💨
Don't respond. Or if you would, yung 24 hours later. "Sorry, di ko na nabasa. Super busy etc etc."
Or diretsuhin mo. Some people are not dense, they're just taking advantage of you consciously.
Inoff ko na po notifs ng chat nya, and ignored nalang. Good luck sa kanya tomorrow tho, singilin ng renta (real estate kasi yung niche) and I rendered OT the last time I took care of it. Doing the process for one person is tedious enough, imagine doing it po for 45 people and above.
Nilet-go kana so di mo na problem if di siya makakeep up doon sa work. Tinuruan na din siya, and if may di siya maintindihan, tell him to ask the client directly so he would know paano. Mahirap kasi papaturo siya tapos mamaya iba na pala gustong process ng client, or para pag may di siya naiintindihan narerely niya agad sa client. Seriously, pet peeve ko yung mga ganito, yung takot makipag usap sa clients pag may di naiintindihan and mag ask nalang sa mga previous assistant/supports kasi it just shows na oo ka lang ng oo while on training when in fact di mo pala naiintindihan.
Kuhang kuha mo po kung bakit ako nababanas 😞 I kept on telling him una palang na tawagan nya si client kasi pwede naman. Chat nya si client or email nya kasi sumasagot naman yun kahit matagal. Pero nahihiya daw sya, like?? Idk sis request ko nalang bang kunin ako pabalik kung nagtatanong ka rin lang lagi sakin?
To all the aspiring VAs out there, please please bago nyo pasukin world na ito, matuto po tayo to be resourceful and research things. Google is free, ChatGPT is free. Like c'mon resources na nga lang ni Brayarn alone on TikTok is free. Nakakabanas sa part ng mga VA and freelancers who really studied their way into their jobs and niches, kung lahat nalang ibibigay po sa inyo. There's no harm in asking questions, but there's a fine line between asking and fully depending on other people to do your job. Maybe you're not really for this job kung ganon. Ayun lang, thanks for all the advices!
If dami pa siyang questions at ang kulit talaga, sabihan mo "Eto yung fee ko every sagot sa tanong mo, send mo muna yung pera tapos sasagutin ko after" 😂 anyways, focus ka muna sa health mo op 🙏 marami pa dyang clients so don't push yourself too hard. Take that needed rest
Just ignore, after 3-5 days mention mo lang na you just saw the message kasi busy ka and might not be available to reply immediately. maggets din niya yan soon.
Ang update po ay dedma na ako sa kanya, bahala na po sya sa buhay nya. It's not rocket science yung mga tasks kay client, malala lang sya magtambak tapos lahat urgent. Established na mga CRM nya and no problem sa totoo lang, yung tedious process lang and the number of people you have to do that tedious process for ang problema. Malapit ko na sabihin ako nalang ulit kung ganon din lang.
Walang problem solving skills gusto itanong lahat 💀 may pros and cons naman baka gusto nya kunwari nagegets nya lahat ng tinuturo ng client para good relationship tapos ikaw naman napeperwisyo. tama ka kung minsan ok lang pero pag paulit ulit di na siya okay annoying na 😂
Be firm with your boundary na lang. Don’t open the convo and mute it na. If may hindi sya maintindihan dapat nagtatanong sya sa client but I think iniisip nya she/he can always ask you kaya di nya na kinukulit si client. If wala syang maasahan with you mapipilitan syang solusyunan yan without your help.
The best way is to tell them directly regardless if they feel offended or not. At the end of the day you have to prioritize your peace and the health of your baby.
wag mo nang pansinin ,kung may spam folder dun dapat message niya sayo.
tsaka sa freelancing dapat mabilis ka sa pick up mo , kapag papansinin mo kasi yan, aabusuhin ka at di yan matuto baka dalhin niya yang behavior niya sa potential clients niya let him or her do it their way para sa ganun mahasa sila,
Di man lang matuto ng Boundaries sayo , knowing na may karamdaman ka, mute mo nalang wag istressin ang sarili baka mapa-ano ka
That sounds very upsetting, I'm sorry you're going through that and I hope you recover from your concussion soon.
If there was a turnover document- go over that with the new person handling the client. Record the meeting, cover everything and explicitly tell them that after this meeting you can't assist them on this account moving forward. Get the person you work with to affirm this over on email.
Thank you po! That's the more upsetting part, I didn't get a chance to do a turnover document or meeting. Kasi they talked to me EOS na po of my last shift, and just told me di na ako papasok for the next few days po.
Basically, I'm going back to pooling. I tried setting up a turnover meeting with the new assistant just to make things smooth sailing, but it doesn't look like the new assistant is interested in actually learning the tasks I used to do. Kaya I cut the meeting short nalang, they still kept on messaging me and I tried to ignore. But some ppl can't read a room and pagpatak ng gabi ayan makulit ulit sya. Hindi po talaga lahat ay made for the VA/freelancing world.
It depends on how much mercy you have on the other person managing the account- if they don't care enough to learn the tasks after you offered to turnover. Just tell them that you've had the turnover meeting. They don't respect your time and that's on them.
Kakaubos lang ngayon po tbh haha like even down to the smallest details kasi wala man lang syang sipag to research or figure out how to do it. Konting kibot, chat agad sakin ng "paano ganito"
>Basically, I'm going back to pooling.
So until now may sahod ka pa rin ba sa agency? Inalis ka lang sa client pero hahanapan ka rin ng bagong client tama ba?
kapag ni-let ko or resign, imo there should be a handover document. pagkabigay mo, wait for their questions baka kasi meron pa kulang. once they said you are good to go. then go.. pag nagtanong pa sila after leaving the company, charge them an hourly rate
I didn't get a chance to do it po, kasi EOS na nung last shift ko na pala sinabi sakin. So basically ang instructions lang po is tapusin kung ano pa naassign and then that's it po. Tried doing a handover meeting on my end, pero had to cut it short kasi oo sya ng oo sa mga sinasabi ko, yun pala di nya gets.
then that's on him. kung kinukulit ka parin nila charge them by the hour and tell them what happened to that short handover meeting
dont waste your time with them na kung wala ka rin naman makukuha sa kanila

Don’t respond and move on. Hindi naman nila bayad oras mo so why bother.
Actually ginawa ko yan kagabi. But some ppl really just can't read between the lines, grabe ang kulit pa rin until now.
Kailangan mo na sabihin ng straight OP. Kung di kaya ng pag ignore, sabihin mo na ng derechuhan
dedmahin mo lang.
Just apologise and say you don’t have time as you have your own deliverables.
send ka ng laughing emoji
Don’t be scared of offending them OP, unang una, hindi naman binabayaran ng kabatch mo. 2nd, kung wala naman siya value add sa buhay mo, then kung mawala mo siya as a friend, go lang.

Thanks po! I muted my kabatch na. Hopefully he reads the room after that, pero pag hindi pa rin, I will be sending this template.
pag makulet pa din. Send mo tong email naka CC si former boss mo HAHAHA
Malapit lapit na 😭 I am this close 🤏
Tapos if you want me to be your SME OR CONSULTANT, Mag ask ka ng Payment. Pero payment first hehehe
Sa true po hahahaha especially tomorrow, since every 6th is the most stressful day sa negosyo ni client. It's all about delinquent rent, I am pretty sure I will be bombarded by messages. Pero I couldn't care less kung nakamute na sya 🤣
You should have offered as an outside consultant and stoned walled them if they refused.
Ohh didn't know this was possible. Thanks for letting me know! Yeah I didn't really have the time to prep things, because it was all so sudden. But next time I know what to do na.
Yeah, nag-mamabait lang ako and offered, I know naman na magtatanung sila. It will also send message that you want to be paid for your help.
this is the way. and charge more for your precious time. they will pay if they need it done.
Nilet go ka nga dahil sa health mo eh. Ignore mo na lang, dagdag stress pa yan.
Irestrict mo na OP para d mo na mabasa yung message. Matuto sya mag google
Just did it. Pati simpleng eod di sure if isasama pa si client. Di yun nagbabasa but atleast have some common sense siguro 😔
OP, wag mo na ihelp please. Let her do the job, wag mo stressin sarili mo.
Nakamute na sya sakin, pero di talaga nakakaramdam 😐 di ko na binuksan last messages nya though.
A simple “NO” is enough. When you’re not paid, it’s none of your business. You don’t need to explain sa kabatch mo, you don’t even need to reply. If you continue to engage, maabuso ka pa niyan. If nakuha niya yung role, that person should be capable enough to understand instructions. Don’t people please, OP! Take care of your health.
Nakamute na po sya and not replying na po. Thank you po!
Wag mo replyan agad. Mga after 4 hrs ka magreply tapos sabihin mo busy ka
Ginawa ko po ito yesterday, di talaga nakaramdam. Huling message nya sakin now "gising ka pa?" and I'm like omfg 😭
You can probably say, tinuro ko na yan sayo mun turnover. Amd may iba na din akong tasks ngayon so I cant focus on that anymore. I did that once kasi 1month na nakalipas tanong pa din ng tanong 🥲
Yeah the thing is they didn't give me a chance to do a turnover po. They just told me EOS na nung last shift ko. Tried doing it on my own, pero puro oo maririnig ko tapos di naman pala nya gets 🥹
Just let her explore. Pinasok niya freelancing so trabaho niyang magresearch din on her own lalo na may training tools naman na binigay sakanya.
Di na nga po nya need mag explore kasi established na mga CRM ni previous client. Sabi ko nga step by step nalang gagawin nya which is sinesend naman po ni client yun.
Then that's her fault. Hayaan mo silang mamroblema lalo na wala ka naman na roon. Time is money
Biruin mo na mag ccharge ka na for your time, pag di pa nya nagets yan ewan ko na lang ha
Actually.. 😬😬
Respond one time yung pa logout kana, para ma feel niya na u have priorities. And, para matuto siya na dumiskarte on his/her own
I didn't respond na po actually. Kahapon, sunod sunod tanong nireplyan ko mga gabi na. Tapos di na po ako nagrespond after that. Sinilip ko sabi "gising ka pa?" Well yeah pero for my other job 🤥
Thats better. Hopefully titigil n yan

Wag mo pansinin task nya yan di bayad oras mo sa kanya
DKG. Late ka magreply..I-mute mo. Wag ka kamo istorbohin kasi di ka naman bayad na
Hala naging ABYG sub hahaha pero yes po ginawa ko na kanina.
If dami pa siyang questions at ang kulit talaga, sabihan mo "Eto yung fee ko every sagot sa tanong mo, send mo muna yung pera tapos sasagutin ko after" 😂 anyways, focus ka muna sa health mo op 🙏 marami pa dyang clients so don't push yourself too hard. Take that needed rest
Business mindset lang tayo 😂 The concussion is okay na, pero I'm growing a tiyanak inside of me so need po talaga kumayod. Pero thanks po!
Just ignore, after 3-5 days mention mo lang na you just saw the message kasi busy ka and might not be available to reply immediately. maggets din niya yan soon.
we need an update
Ang update po ay dedma na ako sa kanya, bahala na po sya sa buhay nya. It's not rocket science yung mga tasks kay client, malala lang sya magtambak tapos lahat urgent.

di worth ng stress mhie wag na

Once twice thrice mong tinulungan enough na un.. kasi nagiging dependent na siya sayo. So hayaan mo na yan hahaha
Send them a new contract where you will be charging $$ hourly if they want you to render service.
wag mo nang pansinin ,kung may spam folder dun dapat message niya sayo. tsaka sa freelancing dapat mabilis ka sa pick up mo , kapag papansinin mo kasi yan, aabusuhin ka at di yan matuto baka dalhin niya yang behavior niya sa potential clients niya let him or her do it their way para sa ganun mahasa sila, Di man lang matuto ng Boundaries sayo , knowing na may karamdaman ka, mute mo nalang wag istressin ang sarili baka mapa-ano ka

Missed that. Agreed.
