Erm, I’ve got a surprise yesterday when I was called into my boss’ room.
I was scared, terrified in fact when he requested me and horsey into his room. He shoved me a letter – p&c.. I felt so relieved because I thought it was a confirmation letter from HR that I can leave the company on the 5 December. It was NOT!
It was a letter from CEO and it’s content – SALARY ADJUSTMENT! Although the amount adjusted to my basic (increase by RM600) – almost but not quite the amount offered in my new company.
Anyway, I do know that they are trying to psycho me to stay back but it is hard! Although the benefits offered in my new company almost same like current company.. but in terms of location and the company’s performance, definitely better.
Furthermore, I don’t think I can advance further if I continue my career journey. It is hard although they promised me a brighter future but I doubted that.
My new company is small but I think I can learn alot of things. Most importantly I want a change in the environment atmosphere. I almost suffocated last week and somehow, I am much more relieved! As I said earlier in my last blog, my burden has been lifted off my shoulder.
Besides, my company is going to sponsor me education, fully paid. I am happy.. once my career stabilize there, I will continue my studies. My traveling for 2009 has over!
To be honest, getting another job is also included in my 2009 plan. The other reason why I want to leave also because my boss told me last year, during appraisal; she told that I will be transferred to the unit that requires extensive traveling in other states for negotiation. Although, it is my hobby to travel but traveling during working hours, are much more tiring! Not to mention the work piling up on my working table.
Anyway, my plan is just too fast,… but of course, thanks to 3 persons that recommended me into this company. They are just my lucky friends.. without them, probability I will be still depressed over several other issues and still stuck in the same place.
Today I was late to work, slightly late! It is because I have returned my signed contract to my future employer. I didn’t return the contract in the 1st place because I had no time! And furthermore, my future boss has been enquiring whether I am joining them anot.
Today also, finalized everything for my resignation.
My last day will be on 5th December 2008. My official date. I am happy but feeling abit sad for leaving a bunch of good friends behind. Well, what I have decided earlier will not change my mind of retracting my resignation lor. Guess what? I am happy too because all of my burdens have lifted off my shoulder.
One word.. TIRED!
They have been pressuring me with workload, more and more ridiculous projects la.. and others, shaking legs. What I get, NOTHING.. I’ve been asking myself for months,… where am I getting to? Promotion? Increment? Special bonus? all those are not rewarded.. felt like not appreciated.
These things won’t happen anymore. If my future company is doing the same thing, I will again tender until one day, whose know? I might not be working in Malaysia.. go as I plan earlier… going abroad. Leaving everything behind but definitely need alot of courage to do so especially leaving my old folks behind!
Anyway, so far, I am happy with my future company. Been communicating with Mr C and Mr O and even Mr L.. they were phraising my future boss. I heard, he is a good guy. Well, I can’t wait to work under him.. I really do hope that he has the same leadership like my former boss, SW. I miss her very much.
She took care of me, patiently wait until I am fully understand litigation works. She was the reason why I didn’t find another job for the last 2 years. For me, it is not the monetary that lure me into an organization but environment.
I did ask these things from God, and He granted me this wish.. but everything changed after management changed. Everything is just so difficult for me to hold on. Been giving warnings and telling him dissatisfaction but fell on deaf ears. I am tired of repeating the same thing.. so, I have been treating him indifferent and guess, he did not realise what are the problems until I tendered my resignation!!
I am tired and leave this happy family for good also not a bad thing.
I have learned two basic theories..
1) never be too good to your boss.. coz you will never know that he might be using you!
2) never be too good in work because you will be in trouble with workloads compare with the existing staffs…
No doubt, I will exercise exact behaviour when I was in banking line – in my new company.. being indifferent, being quiet and never get involved in politics.
Overall, my satisfaction to work in existing company is still the highest despite those unpleasant events. I love my work and I love my environment but…
Last Saturday, Christine tried to organize a trip to Taiwan and others agreed. *@^
I had to agree but after having 2nd thought, I am thinking of not going since by then, I will be joining another company.. joining my new company by mid December. I can’t be applying leave in barely 2 weeks! Hehehehe… furthermore, I am going to Bali next Apr 2009. Kind of too much of expenses liao although I felt like going.
Ya ya… they are planning to leave Malaysia on the 31 December 2008 till 4 January 2009. Which means, I have to apply 2 days leave and come back without resting! Adoi.. cannot la.
I don’t want to experience the same thing again when I came back from Lang Tengah. Unbearable!
Aihz.. I think, it will be exciting trip and probably one and only trip to go with this group because Christine will be trying to get pregnant by next year. Hehehe… I always hv no luck with this bunch of friends lor. I have missed my chance to have fun trip to Pangkor and now, … Taiwan’s trip. AIhzz…
I think 2-3 couples are getting married but unsure about the dates.. Hehehe.. oh ya, Howe Yean is getting married! Good for him since they all have been dating for years now.. and he was my god brother. I am happy for him geh…
Today I have done my medical checkup and I am alright!
So happy but then, I was hesitating of resigning because I don’t feel like leaving my friends behind. I have just to many of them in my current company.
I will be getting about 40% increase from my current pay.. and guess what? I was counter offered by my big boss but it is just to late.
It is our culture in Malaysia that the bosses will only appreciate you if you give them one paper with an envelope. I don’t understand why! :p
I am happy for myself because I can leave my “nightmare” place which is also my heaven. I will leaving so many of them and possibility that I will not be able to go on holiday with them anymore. It is wasted because I had so much fun with them..
Well, I have to move on even I don’t feel like leaving them.. aihz.. :’(
After so many years since we’ve met, finally I met Asmara @ Starbucks.. where I always purchase my cappuccino drink!
I think it’s more than 10 years since we’ve met. Gosh, time flies and without me realizing it. Not only that, I’ve forgotten certain memories.. I cannot remember much about my childhood since I had bad memories stored way back to 1994/1995. Neway.. all those things happened are past memories.. no point remembering it now.
Somehow, I missed my schooling time when there is no problem but only academic problems or relationship problems. Not even coupling problem.
I remembered at times, I had quarrel with my X-best friends – Siang Cheng and Boon Lee when all three of us will have silent war! All three of us were librarians.. hehe… it was fun geh but girls usually argue quite often.
Nowadays, to find good friends and trustable kind is very hard.. so, I am treasuring my friends my work and do hope that we will maintain as this close if one of us leave the company.. 
I am feeling so in love but have to keep it deep inside my heart so that no one would know.
I will never speak of it because it is impossible that sparks will happen between us… so, I am letting the time to resolve the feeling…
Finally, my trip to Berjaya Hills is over and I will be free for the entire weekends this week. I am damn happy!
I’ve been traveling for the past 3 weeks with my friends, colleagues and family members. Not that I don’t appreciate the vacations with them, I am just feeling too tired.. tired even just think of traveling.
And I will be traveling to Genting Highland next week for my friend’s birthday cum gathering. My college gathering and only meet them either 2/3 times a year. I will appreciate this trip geh.. and Derek will be bring his gf this time. I am glad that she is back from UK and I am hoping that Derek won’t be bother to disturb me, as he did for the past 12 weeks without her!! < got scared of him at times> < =.= >
Probably after Genting Highland’s trip, I will be going to Cameron Highland with my family members. I don’t know whether my parents want to go anot. It’s been years since I was there! I think should be 5/6 years liao!!
See how it goes ler. I’ve been asking Monkey to go Cameron but she said she was there last January. Ling2 said it’s far. So, have to find others to go.. so I chose my family! Hahaha…
Today I want to retire early.. my eyes kind of getting swollen from lack of sleep :-p
