Meet Ernesto Baetiong, who joined Real Food for Real Kids in August 2022.
What do you do at Real Food for Real Kids?
I recently took over the role of the Warehouse Operations Supervisor. Making sure all the required production components are met, that the warehouse’s physical inventory is accurate and matches the data in the system, ensuring smooth flow of material handling from receiving to staging, ensuring that everyone is fulfilling their roles and being ready and available to help out when needed, and making sure that supplies meet the demands. And of course, setting a good example to the members not just of the Supply Chain department but in general. There’s a lot of challenges but it’s a part of growth. The main takeaway is to learn from it. When it gets busy, it is busy! But having a team that backs you up is amazing. Makes it a lot easier.
Why do you work for RFRK? Or what do you love about working for RFRK?
Why not! There’s always room for improvement. Room for growth! I started as a dishwasher, then moved to the pack team, then as a material handler, and eventually to a supervisory role. That is proof enough that working hard with a bit of luck and help from very supportive managers and co-workers, advancement opportunities will be within reach! And of course, all the benefits that come with your employment is just something to be grateful for. Ultimately, it’s the kids that we serve. Knowing you are working to feed thousands of kids with healthy and nutritious food is golden.
If you were a superhero, who would you be and why?
I don’t want to be a superhero but I want the power to travel through time. I want to know how the pyramids were built, how the ancient machu picchu is on top of the mountain, why the stonehenge stood the test of time and I will go back in time and tell my dad that I’m okay and will give him the biggest hug and tell him I love and miss him everyday!
What’s your favourite RFRK meal??
Lol, Filipino Beef Giniling!!! Need I say more. 🙂
What are some activities you enjoy outside of work?
I love to read fantasy novels, I love painting and sketching. It relieves stress and is very relaxing. Playing with my son. And watching horror series.
Do you wish you could play an active part in feeding kids healthy, nutritious & delicious food?
