...i give up?...

"...When people feel drained, when they there is no objective, when it is meaningless, people will surely have the easy excuse to quit..."

a fren of mine recently made that comments. how very true. all of my colleagues who left - those who resigned - not made to go - are like that. they gave up!

1. gave up on all the promises made and never fulfilled
2. gave up on doing coding - cos its all CONTROLLED coding
3. gave up on management who never appreciate people
4. gave up on the middle management who have this unreasonably attitude-wrecking mind
5. gave up work cos they cant see where they are going, lost of vision
6. gave up on striving in a company full of shit
7. gave up on hr who has not produce good fruits

but one thing they did not give up on was coming back together for ANY reunions or dinner at 1Utama. wedding dinners, mamak session, christmas, hoildays season are times when we see these great people having a nice time uniting their strength and vision to build a better future for themselves and their friends.

but, why am i still here? alex told me...look at opportunity in the problems. i saw all these problems. and more importantly, i saw my opportunity.

and i still have not given up yet!

True enough when that is what our collegues felt but that shouldn't be the easy excuse that they used for such exit.

We have been dealing with the 7 points for quite a while(yes,even I have restriction on *CONTROLLED* coding) but if they can see things like you and me saw, turning every weakness to their opportunity, I believe this will make them different from the rest of the people.

I'm not saying outside grass is not greener, it's just sometimes when you know what you want to do and presume that you are not given that opportunity, you might be still facing the same situation on the other side.

This is where the new skill can be acquired like requesting/asking for such opportunity. Simply making assumption on some of the points listed wouldn't get us anywhere.

Again I would like to emphasis that the points given are mostly true, it's just that we need to find our own objective and how these limitation can fit into our objective.

And the most common feedback and popular phase that I got... 'I do the same thing but get paid better(alot lot more) on the other side', which I totally agree with them but bear in mind still if it's the same thing you are doing, it won't get you anywhere beside more money(ok, here is where I'm being called stupid by some people).

My point is if we all want to move on, make sure we move on with the right company which can provide us with opportunity to meet our own objective. Simply hit and run would make us look bad, and we too will get tired of this.

We have ex-colleagues that are currently working in very good company and this is where they make the right choice for leaving.

Jyon, our task is make them realised their objective and goals they want to achieve with the current company and if that cannot be achieved, I too will fully support them to look at the greener grass on the other side.

Who knows, I will be looking at the *greener* grass when the time comes. But for now it's up to us to make the difference or just realised the problem and take it as part of our lives without doing anything.
