RESIGNATION ACKNOWLEDGED

My resignation was finally acknowledged by the management. But they are quite reluctant to release me as per my notice period. I can understand why. Not to brag, but it's quite hard to find anybody that can replace me. Not because I'm indispensable (well, in a way, their reluctance says it... hahahah), but because the work that I'm doing is quite specialised that it is hard to get somebody to just come on and carry on with what I'm doing. The person needs months of training before s/he can do exactly what I'm doing. And even that it is quite impossible to achieve my kind of level 100%.

But, as my old boss told me before, we sometimes outgrow the organisation that we work for. When that happens, we have to know that it is time to move on to something better and more challenging. I guess that is what I'm doing, moving on to something better, although it is a scary feeling.

I remember the first time I resigned. Of course that was from the first real job that I had after graduating. Well... in that particular case, I didn't actually properly resign... hahahaha... i actually asked for a 2-month unpaid leave, giving my "poor health" as a reason. Then, when the management approved, I simply went to my second real job and sent a resignation letter after a month of leave (or did I? Can't quite remember really... hahaha). I know.. I know... you must be shouting hell... But to my defense, that company was really crap, treating the staff like shit. For all I know, they deserved it. One of my colleagues even wrote the management a letter citing how bad they treated the staff. He really had the balls. But then, it was a poison letter.... hehehhe.
