Stay on

In the end, i decided to stay on. I'm quite tired of being asked what's my decision etc, and frankly when i was given my confirmation + re-designation letter at HQ, together with a miserable $100 increment, i was very tempted to just throw it back. So it means i did less than my guys! After all, they had a much heftier increment!

It was with great agony that i sent out the rejection email. Should i have left the option open till much later? But don't forget, its the big boss himself who talked to me, and twice at that! So it was pressure pressure lor. Would i be happier here or at the new place? Since its no longer an option, the idea is moot. I can only do my best to be happy.

I did tell the boss that i want a 5-day week, and that the other side offered me a higher salary. haha. Well, its true once you add in the AWS, leave and other benefits! So i told VP the amount and he was quite surprised. Don't know if he realizes the amount i'm going to give up.

I'll give myself 1 year here and do my best not to apply or to look out for other jobs. In this year, if i can still be functioning here, then perhaps its a place to stay. Will ask if they can sponsor me for HR courses too -- i'm now a HR executive. wow -- so at least i have another outlet. heehee.

sigh. At the very least, it should look better on my resume ba.
