A Better Tomorrow

Fed-up with bosses, upset over bonus, received a better offer or tired of working are in the minds of some of my colleagues.

It came as a shock to me when I saw the announcements sent out by the HR dept yesterday. Receiving departure announcements of rotating staff in our company and resignations are common stuff. Somehow, yesterday was quite shocking. Let me explain why lah…

This year, we have a couple of Japanese rotating staff returning to Japan this year. To some it’s a good thing coz’ they may not be good bosses but to some, it’s sadness as they are good bosses. Whatever it is, when their time is up, they just have to leave.

I am not surprised to receive resignation announcement every year especially during this month coz’ it’s the month that we get our bonus and knowing our ‘worth’. Yesterday, there were the usual resignation announcements but it came one after another!!! Yes, you might have guessed it; there were 3 resignations this year.

From the Finance Dept. who have been here for more than 10 years. She is a fine lady and always willing to help even-though she is not in-charge of that particular matter. The other 2 are from the same dept. (Chemical Dept.) One worked in our company for about 20 years and the other is a couple of years.

It’s pretty sad to see friends leaving the company though they might be getting a better offer from the competitive society. Mmh... Dunno when I can throw that ‘white envelop’ to my boss one day and stay home to be Tai Tai... haahaa… *Dream*
