I don't believe in the saying, "You can't teach old dogs new tricks".
I was cleaning my closet and found my old ID from 2015, the last hotel job I had. It made me look back at my journey, from sales executive in Discovery Shores Boracay to working remotely as market development executive in Cloudbeds.
Today, I am merely an individual contributor, and not running a team like I once did. Younger colleagues would sometimes consult me for advice, not because I've been in the company longer, but because I was already working in the hotel industry while they were still in high school 😂
What my younger colleagues didn't know is that we are all on equal footing, because even if I've been in this industry long enough, there are still a lot of things I want to learn, to improve my craft.
This is where my good friend Yusuf Putra (from Cloudbeds Growth Enablement Team) comes in. For several sessions we studied how I did my presentations and how I can improve. We talked about what else I can do better, because at the end of the day, our main goal is to be able to help our customers better, to address their challenges with the help of technology.
So yes, old dogs like me can learn new tricks. Old dogs are less distracted and have more focus. With the right attitude, old dogs can thrive in tech.

2wDear Temu Team, I am writing this as a last resort after exhausting all other options. For over three months, I have been waiting for a refund for items I returned to Temu. Despite following all the necessary steps and returning the items promptly, I have yet to receive any clear timeline or confirmation of when I will be refunded.Key Issues: Lack of Communication: I have repeatedly contacted Temu’s customer support via chat, but each time I am met with automated responses. No Access to Management: I have requested multiple times to speak with a supervisor or someone in management, but these requests are never fulfilled. Empty Promises: I am consistently told that I will receive an update within 24 hours, but this never happens. This has been going on for three months, with no resolution in sight. I am urgently seeking assistance from a senior member of the Temu team to resolve this matter. I hope that this public post will draw attention to my situation and prompt action from someone who can actually help. I would appreciate direct contact from a senior representative to finally address this issue.
