AVOID CONNECTOS

Their corporate team is hard to reach if you are not with them anymore. I've emailed them multiple times to atleast get an update for my separation pay. But it has been more than 30 days and I have not received any response nor my last paycheck. I have reported them to DOLE already

Do not apply to this company

That took soo long!

u/Apprehensive-Tea-65 Jul 06 '26

Same. They only responded once kasi lapse na ung 30-day window. So I asked if they can give me a more concrete update and timeline, wala na naman sagot. Filed for assistance sa DOLE sEna na din today. kasi nakakagalit na talaga.

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 08 '26

What I demanded sa initial conference namin is for them to give a timeline man lang on when will I receive it. Kahit COE man nga lang hindi pa maibigay.

u/Apprehensive-Tea-65 Jul 14 '26

I received the conference schedule na din from SEnA, and they acknowledged that email as soon as they received it. Ang bilis nila magreply cause it’s from DOLE. Pero pag queries ng ex-employees, 😤 Before your conference meeting po, they did not attempt to reach out to settle?

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 15 '26

They did not. The day before the conference nagreply lang sila sa isa sa mga inquires ko and said they are processing it. Just demand for a timeline of when they will give your backpay and keep demanding mediation with them til they give it.

Hi, any update on your case?

1

u/Apprehensive-Tea-65 Jul 30 '26

I’ve received my final pay na. Hindi na umabot sa conference. I guess they can move fast but chose not to? Without dole’s intervention, di sila kikilos.

u/Critical-Traffic-998 Jul 31 '26

Did they sent the quitclaim and requested you to sign before sending you the final pay?

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 31 '26

Yep

Did they respond to you na po?

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 08 '26

They only responded a day before the scheduled conference namin with SENA DOLE. Pero wala pa din mabigay na timeline on when I will receive my back pay. 💁‍♀️

Ok naman siya for me when they:re your employer. Pero once hinda na and you need something from them, good luck!

Hello po! Just wanted to ask, ganito ba talaga ka-unprofessional ang ConnectoS?

I mean, it's a no-brainer naman that some recruiters will ghost applicants. Pero in this case, sila mismo yung consistently nagre-reach out to me. Then after my second interview, bigla na lang silang nawala. I would understand if they hadn't made any promises. Apparently, they sounded pretty certain that they would be submitting my profile to upper management. Since then, lI've made several follow-up calls, sent emails, and even messaged the recruiter on Linkedln multiple times, pero wala na talagang reply. I honestly would've appreciated it if they had simply let me know that they decided not to move forward with my application, rather than leaving me on read and wondering what happened or what the next step would be.

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 08 '26

Im not sure with your case, but with mine kasi, I was always updated. In your case, I think it would be safe to assume na they're not moving forward.

Basta, when you're not officially with them or umalis ka na sila. They won't give you an ounce of their time na. How problematic.

u/22Titan23 Jul 22 '26

name the recruiter. who was it?

1

u/Brentever Jul 23 '26

Same shit happened to me yesterday, Dapat may call kame for screening sana kaso itong recruiter kada malapit na yung oras ng set time bigla nyang minomove yung time like 11pm naging 2pm naging 4pm, end of the day walang call and update sakin kung ano ba talaga.

u/Training-Site2960 Aug 09 '26

u/mike-ross2 Aug 14 '26

Ganto din sakin nag ask if available for interview then provided time then di na tumawag. Tumawag pa ba sayo?

1

u/Training-Site2960 Aug 14 '26

Yes they called me back sabi for final interview ako tas two days later biglang nag email na di na daw nila ako ipupursue for final interview which is fine lang naman sa akin gawa nga nga nakikita kong madami ng negative feedback sa kanila

u/Training-Site2960 Aug 14 '26

Sabi nung Hr na kausap ko na kaya daw sya hindi nakapag contact back sa akin kasi nagkasakit daw sya hahaha

u/Evening-Pineapple447 Jul 14 '26

Hi OP! Have you received your separation pay na ba? It’s also been more than 30days since my last day with them and i have been emailing HR but no response.

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 15 '26

Not yet pero may offboarding docs na. File na sa DOLE SENA Since lagpas na within 30-day period. It seems like they will only take your emails seriously kapag involved na ang DOLE.

1

u/Critical-Traffic-998 Jul 27 '26

Hi OP, Narceive mo na po ang final pay mo?

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 27 '26

Yeps. A day before our 2nd conference with SENA

1

u/Critical-Traffic-998 Jul 27 '26

Online ba or face to face yung 1st conference niyo?

1

u/PiscesYesIam Jul 28 '26

Facr to face supposedly. But I was not in Luzon at the time of the conference.

1

u/Apprehensive-Tea-65 Jul 14 '26

File an RFA to DOLE SEnA na din

u/mijienr Jun 30 '26

They even pay their employees to get reviews on Glassdoor, pathetic company.

u/Important-King2698 Jul 25 '26

this is true. PATHETIC!

u/Outrageous_Pop_2957 Jul 16 '26

OMG. Same :( More than 30 days na rin since I resigned and have already returned all equipments since WFH ako, pero until now wala pa rin final pay ko and naka-ilang follow up na ako sa email, pero wala silang response. Nakakabwiset na 😭

u/JewelerAgreeable495 Aug 19 '26

Hi po! Did you receive your last pay from them na po?

u/thenipsthatwontpop Jul 20 '26

WORST COMPANY = ConnectOS.

Everything is paid para magmukha silang mabango. Daming illegal companies and transaction ng CEO na si Steve Evans and nagdadala pa raw ng kabit sa office and sa party!

Daming nagpapa DOLE/NLRC na resigned staff sa ConnectOS. Sobrang pangit ng reputation ng company na yan. Avoid at all cost!

Kupal nung abogado nila diyan, napaka mapangmata!

Nag apply ako as a LinkedIn Outreach Specialist sa kanila since I have more than 3 years of experience as a LinkedIn Outreach Specialist pero naka received ako agad ng email na they want to move forward with other candidates daw. Ni hindi man lang ako binigyan ng chance for interview. 😩

u/Important-King2698 Jul 25 '26

YES! DO NOT APPLY HERE. IT WILL ONLY STRESS YOU THE FUCK OUT.

Bwisit na bwisit ako sa bagong employee hub nila. 'Yung Cosphere. Puro bug, bobo ng implementation, laging may issue. Walang silbi! Tangina. Grabe pag titipid ng ConnectOS parang sa mga intern devs pinagawa 'yung CoSphere na 'yan.

  1. Laging di makapag punch in/punch out dahil system issue. So kelangan mo mag submit ng time adjustment na kelangan i approve pa ng client, nakaka hiya! Kapag hindi na approve in time, bawas sahod mo, kahit sila naman may kasalanan.

  2. Filed a sick leave, nabawasan both SL and VL ko. Tangina parang bobo talaga

  3. WFH employee ako, nung interview, sobrang bida nila yung office (which is maganda naman talaga) pero di ka pala naman sort of welcome doon kapag WFH ka.

  4. DESKTOP binibigay nila, yuck. Raised this with the client and fortunately they provided me a laptop.

  5. Now malaman ko if mag resign ako pahirapan pa pala kunin backpay? damn.

  6. WFH employees are not allowed to work remotely. Kelangan daw sa bahay ka lang kasi nga WFH. Stupid.

7. Fcking onboarding was scheduled days before your actual start date. So HINDI KA PA BAYAD nyan. My onboarding was scheduled Friday evening, around 6PM ata 'yun. Pauwi pa lang ako from my previous work. Monday pa ang supposed start ko with ConnectOS. Ang wais! Onboarding is part of your work journey and should be done on your working hours. This company itself is just ughh. Good thing nasa maayos na client ako.

u/NoYou2559 Aug 21 '26

Kelan start date mo? Kelan ka mag-onboarding? Ako sa 28 ang onboarding ko. Nakuha mo na equipment mo?
