The day I resign
I’ve hold on, waited and considered for quite some time. Today I decided to give the resign letter. So, what’s the problem until I make such a decision?No, I have no problem with the colleagues or the Boss. Nobody’s perfect so let’s forget about their bad attitudes and personalities. Work is work, personal life is personal life.
Yes, the salary isn’t that high, I can’t deny that it’s one of the factors but not the primary one. If I keep write writing 2 pay post everyday with the minimum payment $5, I can get $300 per month just by spending less than 2 hours in front of the computer everyday. By looking at that amount, I work just to fulfill my social life.
I hate the distance from my home to working place. I wasted so many times on the road. It’s so monotone. I hate the traffic jam. I am so stress whenever getting jam in the middle of Wahidin road. The way the driver’s drives add in my stress.
Most importantly we have to feel happy and like our job. Yes, I’m getting bored, not happy, no challenging, etc. The work itself is so not fun and enjoyable compare to advertising. Like I said before, you just need to have the design skill (know how to use design Software), design as crowded as possible and follow what clients want. You don’t need a Diploma or Degree holder for that position. Probably, the Marketing side should be changed so that they can educate the client and not just about the sales.
By that, why bother spend 8 hours in the office plus 2 hours plus (two way, go work and back home) on the road just to earn that little money while I can get more by doing those at home? I will have a more flexible time table, can go KL whenever I want. I can’t be asking for a break evey 2 to 3 months if I work like now. If my boy comes here, I’ll have more time with him. Say that the design I do will about the same like now, have to follow client and so on, but I feel happier in that way. I want to built something with my two hands. That’s what I call challenge.
Two more months to go. I’m not gonna change my mind. Final decision!
