Really enjoyed watching this. Absolutely adore how real you are and the humor you added to this. I say you're doing a great job and I am fully eager to see you keep going 😄
This is so well articulated, your journey how it started and how it led to start of another one! Your videos are intriguing, on point and insightful! Thank you for sharing all that you do!
Great job on the video, and your reflections & insights are really valuable as well. I am not in brand management (or in my 20s either), but I can definitely see this resonating with people from many walks of life. Thanks so much for sharing.
Love the 500 days narrative you added! Super creative and relatable. Working from home does get lonely and uninspiring in the long run. Wish there is a way to still keep it exciting.
Anyways, keep up the good work 😍
So relatable! Thanks for sharing Rabeea - some of the thoughts are what I've dealt with on a daily basis during Covid. All the best and keep going👌🏽
Hey, really appreciate the career insight you share on your channel! This is like a coffee chat.
Great video! I am also feeling depressed with my job, and your sharing helped a lot
Thank you very much. You're a true leader. I'm looking for the first internship in brand management. I am very happy that the algorithm suggested me this video. 'My health and my peace come before anything, I am not my job' I will use them as a mantra.
I quit after 6mths working for P&G 20 years back, much to their shock. After all the hoops you have to jump through just to get the job. Couldnt stand the institutionalised bullcrap and sales pressure hype that was just so unrealistic. I know it was supposed to be the epitomy of success joining this company. One of my colleagues who started with me actually started having major anxiety problems and heart palpitations. I was like nope not for me and got out of there. Unfortunately P&G is similar to many global companies who say they are all about their people, but lets be honest here....its all about the $$$$$. I am a strong believer in trust your instincts and judgement and good on you for getting out.
Were you working as a Brand manager, Why did you leave your job, tell in 2 lines
Wow, that work environment sounds so toxic and unsustainable! I definitely think your decision to leave was the right one and very valid. If I may, after leaving P&G, what was the next career move you made? Did you choose to move to a different company in a similar role or pivot into something else entirely?
@@superninja6481stayed in similar role but did try out another couple of corp global companies. One was great to begin with but then started to change so many of us left. 2 others I tried were again dreadful. I then realised that more med sized companies or if lucky, family owned companies were the best. I have since progressed now to having my own business and enjoying the independence.
Hi, just want to say thanks to you for making this video. Lately, I always blaming myself for the decision that I made. But then this video make me realize that’s the best way for my mental health.
Hi Rebeea , I loved your video and how you explained, and as you mentioned your mental health and hobbies are very important! Wish you best of luck on your channel and other creative projects 😀
This video was so real! I felt identified with everything you said. It helped me realize that I had to quit to my Senior Brand Manager role at P&G for my mental health. Thank you! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
You are so brave to share this. I had a similar experience working at a unicorn. Stress was at an all time high, working culture was toxic, mental health was at all time low, and to add to my woes, work wasnt inspiring enough. Now i am sitting at home, jobless, but still find it worth it for my mental peace.
I’m noticing this is super common for brand managers in global cpg companies! Totally understand and hope you’re doing well and are healthy ❤
I just watched all your videos in a row. Super helpful, thanks for sharing!
You're amazing! I relate to this so much, thanks for helping me on my personal and career journey :)
Awesome reflection! Thanks for sharing your story and being so mindful. Also, you have an amazing voice, it transmits a lot of peace and confidence :)
Thank you so much!! 😄
Life is a journey, so happy to see you are experiencing different things in your life!
Love the video and love the 500 day concept... 1:32 montage was seriously great!
I am in brand management and I can relate to what you just said. Love your videos!
Can you please tell me what should we keep in mind before taking this as career
Nailed it! really puts things into perspective. Also loving the 500 days of Summer influence! I needed that: don’t take one job too seriously. 😂 and the question about the dream job. That was legit me. They asked me about my dream job and I just stared at them… 😂😂
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience! I really can relate to this video as I am now are struggling with my mental health and work-life balance. I hope what ever it is you're doing rn makes you happy!
thanks Rubina Really enjoy watching this
Loved the 500 days of Summer references! Thanks for sharing your experience :)
Thankyou for sharing your experience!!!
At the start of video I was thinking why someone would leave p&g, a dream company for many but at the end of video I learnt that that things can go like this as well as said in video. Thanks Rebecca for sharing this with us.
Thank youu for sharing this! ❤
I turned down my full time offer after two internships there. It was a tough decision, but the work life balance was lacking. On top of the fact that they were not offering full remote positions despite the fact that meetings are still held on Teams and WebEx.
I love your content so much. You made your videos so informative and fun at the same time! Plus you are so cute❤
Keep up the great work on your channel!
Thank you Jubair!!
This video thoroughly explains your passion for content creation.
Quite elaborately explained and thoughtfully presented.
Really inspiring… I was also working in a extremely high pressure environment with long working hours in the past 3 years, and knows exactly how it feels not able to enjoy a personal life apart from the job:( Finally I also quit. it was though, still quite sad for me to think of the contributions and sacrifices I made during the period..
Very nice video Rabeea :) really enjoyed hearing your story !!!
Thank you Rona! 😄
Loved this!!!!❤❤❤❤
Hey, I just quit my job at P&G too, and can really relate to your video, thanks for sharing now that I know I'm not alone
Relates so much!
Because of this video, the outcome is I am subscribing to your channel ☺. Life is too short and we should live on our own terms.
Only video on social media , I've watched till the end :D
You’re fantastic with your story telling
very brave of you Rabeea. i did the same too few months ago ;)
woww, u r amazing. Great editing.
It would be great if you made some teaching videos for us learn the necessary skills for a brand manager role
Former P&G employee here, and I must say, this company attracts individuals who dedicate their lives to their work. While there's a system outlined to prioritize employee well-being holistically on paper, in reality, it falls short. There's a pervasive culture of overachievement where around 90% of employees are hardcore workaholics, leaving little room for a life outside of the company. If you enjoy that lifestyle, be my guest
Just wanna thank you for your sharing. I’m struggling with losing passion after COVID too :(
Sorry to hear that :( Hope it gets better for you, I can relate!
I'm not sure which region you were working but what's so crazy is that the working situation you have described post COVID is sadly like BAU for P&G Japan.
Great content..can you also please share your thoughts on comparison between the luxury and fmcg sector and why you preferred fmcg..
Thank you!
Hi Sanskriti! FMCG's tend to be much bigger with a lot more hierarchy and thus a lot more room for career development and learning, that's why I chose this over Luxury. :)
Hi, I was just wondering if the internship role for brand management needs an interactive assessment test? Thanks!
I briefly work in a PHC plant. Terrible management that were completely unwilling to assist in training on skill blocks. They gave a good presentation for hiring process but when you hit the floor it was like a snake pit
I have to send this to our HR, it represents so many B1s within the company.
LOL 😅
Hey, could you please nake a video about building and exciting loyalty program of a brand?
Hi please reply me, did you also give the assessment? How did you pass ?
Amazing story
You mentioned in the other video that as a brand manager, you create a report after your meeting regarding an upcoming product, after they introduced it to you. Can you show us how you do it? A template maybe? How to create a great report? Also.. how to create great marketing plans?
i'm still in Grooming and I feel like dying each day I'm working. Endless DDS, Initaitive calls, adhoc call, night calls. Daily reviews, weekly reviews. KPIs, approval, follow ups, and so much more additional scopes that are added each quarter.
Can I use the same examples to answer Behavioural Questions in different rounds of interviews?
Thanks for the video! Are you serious when you said that at your dream job there would be a female CEO?
Hi, could you tell me how can I get a job in P&G company? I'm from Central Asia (Tajikistan) thank you
I loved this video, thank you
100% relatable
Dear Madam.. Me also work two years at procter and gamble office in mumbai as a cafeteria manager... Now I need a jobs in Dubai.. Pls help me
I took the same decision in 2019 for the sake of my mental health my mood my time. The company took more than 14 hours of my day.
Wow! I loved your vlogs. Please make more videos
I worked in a P&G factory. This is very surreal to hear. Work life balance? Some parts of the factory are more difficult than others but I worked almost every weekend. Would be nice to know the factory workers are getting paid what they are worth. But I guess that's subjective.
Overall what was your experience like there? And what did you did if you dont mind me asking!
@@regmo12 I worked in the analytical lab. So much needed to be changed. It was understaffed forcing people to take shortcuts.
Do u have any contact with p&g health India Ltd?
Thank you for this video! Would love to connect with you if possible ☺️
Hi Joachim! Sure, you can reach out at hi@rabeeahasan.com :)
Why is there no female CEO in P&G?
Sadly this kind of work culture has messed up the personal lives of many people. You have no time for your spouse, parents, or children. Hopefully, this thing change. It is not always about money. I have also quit my job because of this.
What which country is that? No income tax 😱
Dubai, United Arab Emirates :)
good afternoon noon mam i registered amazon seller centeral account like USA canda market i want sale P&g products please help for providing brand authoriztion later
How did you develop such a posh accent?
Working like a slave at P&G does not sound like a good work/ life balance.
Well that’s corporations! You sell your soul to the company store!
"Good enough" is not okay. It's a garbage company.
Please share your magic to save for two years ON TOP of an emergency fund!
3m subscribes to work life balance culture, too.
I have never even heard of Procter & Gamble, I don't understand how it is famous? And Cola cola just looking it up on TH-cam their is a lot of controversies with that company. I would rather work for telsa maybe.
