My Life, Your Story.

Seriously i've began to realize my company's pretty good. Not mentioning brand name here of coz haha. (This's exactly the kind of company Gershon implied about not to step into for yr 1st job, esp if you want to hop within the same industry for your next one. =p)

Anyway now that 2yrs have passed. Things have indeed changed quite a fair bit.

From 9 of the freshies, it was down to 2. Me & Xiaoming (ya dun laugh!) Now, it's back to 3 again. Coz Shuzhen made a decision to come back, shortly 2 weeks after starting her new job 2 months ago. I'm not surprised though. Now she's back again, starting afresh, venturing into the new direction & post the company has set her in (which she has always wanted), i believe she's going to stay for quite some time. & I heard another decision from a fellow fresh grad resigner that he might have the intentions to come back too.

My DGM initiated a talk w me last week, about re-adjusting my salary due to Shuzhen's leaving & coming back. I felt slightly bemused, yet touched by the management's gesture apparently thinking that i might be very affected by it.

Yes though i reckoned that there's definitely a pay raise for this act of SZ's, but pay's always (alright i shall be truthful) not the MOST IMPT consideration of my decision to leave this company. That's why honestly, i don't care how much SZ's pay has risen after this circle she had made. But still, who won't fancy an increment out of nowhere? (thanks SZ!)

& further more, my DGM stressed that i can, if i felt that 1) my pay is giving me injustice to what i'm doing now or or 2) the opportunity cost of changing job is too high if i shall continue staying here, approach her or my GM directly to discuss this issue & they shall see how much more they can offer me. I joked to yuanyuan that i shld just ask for an enormous exaggerated pay raise straight away & see if they would really agree w it. haha. But of coz, that would be coupled with greater job responsibility & commitment they need to get from me..

& their means of assuring me to do that? i don't know..force me sign a bond that states i cannot quit for another 5 more yrs? Lol.

Maybe i shld reassess my situation. =p
