I handed in my resignation letter with mixed feelings -
I had no plans. I wasn't even sure if I'm making the right decision.
But now, three weeks later, I can smile and say:
"It might not be the right decision; but surely is the best."
The people I work closely with are a great bunch. I love 'em dearly.
But;
I crave for new things -
I crave for new challenges -
I crave for self growth -
These, I don't see myself getting in this company.
My request for an inter-department transfer was declined because to some, I'm just an "admin".
I had to, single-handedly for the last 6 months, run the show because my colleague conveniently went on a long MC right after the other colleague left.
I had to take the blame for things other people did wrong -
I was yelled at in public by one of the Chief Pilots -
I swallowed everything. Even though, deep down, I knew I deserved better.
I waited months for someone to replace my "missing" colleague - but no, no replacement.
Another colleague offered to join the department - but no, she has to wait 'till my "missing" colleague leaves.
This "missing" colleague finally showed up two days before I tendered my resignation.
After a long chat with the boss and HR -- I heard she's going to be transferred to a different department.
My heart broke to pieces.
It was then I decided I've had enough.
A few friends tried to talk some senses (or so they think) into me. But, my mind's all made up.
I told them I've found a new job.
Easier than telling them the truth.
