After review of the records, the Court resolves to DENY the petition for failure to sufficiently show that the Court of Appeals (CA) committed any reversible error in its November 29, 2017 Decision 2 and September 18, 2018 Resolution, 3 as to warrant the exercise of the Court's appellate jurisdiction.

As such, Teleperformance validly dismissed petitioner.
