SunStar January 30, 2021 On June 9, 2006, petitioner Charlie Lamb (Lamb) hired respondent Pedrita Heloisa B. Pre (Pre) as legal officer for his companies known as CLAMB Group of Companies. On February 23, 2007, she was promoted to corporate affairs manager and headed the human resources and legal departments of CLAMB, particularly Bayview.
During Pre’s employment, petitioner Rosemarie Moradilla, president of Phil-Amer and Bayview, discussed her new and additional assignment as customer service representative (CSR) which was assigned by her immediate superior, petitioner Frank Gordon. She was told to answer phone calls and jot down notes of her communications with clients. Since the CSR task was far from a managerial job, Pre suggested a different procedure, which elicited a negative reaction from Gordon calling her stupid and incompetent.
