Bye Bye Tiger

If anyone had noticed, I have long removed my list of wishlist and a couple of things happened. This is one of it and the thing is, I feel exactly the way my friend told me she felt when she tendered her resignation. I was happy until that very moment when I had to go and face my bosses. I know it can be as simple as a chat but it turned out to be more than that.

To be honest, I tried to put in my resignation last year but I retracted it after my boss promised me that I would be promoted. After a 6 month's wait, I did get my promotion BUT to my shock, my bonus was 1 month short and after some digging around, I found out that it was my boss that made that cut. I think it really did infuriate me and made me more unhappy.

According to my zodiac sign predictions, this year is a good year to make a career change and I will get some help especially from females. The strange thing is that my new boss is a guy and the HR manager who called me was also a guy. Oh well, perhaps there are forces at work which I do not see for the time being.

Before tendering, I talked to a headhunter friend of mine, asking him for advice if my move is a advisable. Perhaps I just needed a little more assurance but he did give his thumbs up and I went and did what I did today. I put on a defensive posture and was frank with what I had to say but as expected, things are not as what they seem. I got a curse (some may call it friendly advice) that "1 day I will have to face up to the situations that my boss is facing now and then I will be in her shoes".

The last thing I heard her say before I left the room was that she had already signed and accepted my letter even before this session. I am sure that we are all disappointed to part ways like this but I have always wanted to see a different side of things and a chance is knocking at my door now. I definitely have a lot of things that are not perceived as good traits but to learn from experience is the fastest and most effective way to be better.
