標題: Quitting in two hours..........ai......... [打印本頁]

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-5 14:03 標題: Quitting in two hours..........ai.........

Checking the clock every hour.
Two more hours, it's time to say goodbye.
It takes so much energy to come to this end.
I knew she wasn't happy about me this morning but as always, no day is a good day.

I know quitting this job sound insane to everybody but I had enough.
There is no point staying in a company when you lost all the faith and passion.

It's ironic, my so called "future" office is renovating right next to me everyday and I'm courting the days.
Isn't it funny? By the time I'm done with my two weeks notice, my office should be done too.

It's extremely tough to hang in the resign letter. If it's all about me only, it's fine but there are too many uncertainty.
Yet, I still have to breathe hard and walk into her office in two hours. To be exact, 2.5hr.

Two years has gone, it's time to move on. Even if it's risky and uncertain. I gain more strength to face the future after what had happened these years. I should not live under a shelter forever. It's time for me to step out this door and find a new path, rather it's bad or good decision. I will be responsible for all the consequences. It's my life after all.

You never know if you don't try.
May be better, may be worse, but at least you know you are not satisfied at the moment and I would say it is very important.
You are still young la. If the next one is no good, just keep looking lor.

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-5 14:47

I am sure you will find another job soon.

I had my old job for nearly 3-4 years.  In the begining it was very promising and they even had the bright future but I quit the job after 3-4 years of consistent disappointment.

I am quite happy with my current job and I am glad I guitted that job.

Good luck to you.  If you need any help finding a new job, people here will gladly to help you.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-5 14:58

Thank you everyone, you guys make me feel so much better and comfortable now.

I slept at 1:30 last night and keep worrying about my decision.

Myversa,

same here, working here, I'm sure I will learn a great load of things in this field........but with all these chaos....and craziness. I have enough....

Sazabi,

one curious question want to ask you since I think you are in management, right?
How do you see this situation? An international company found my C/V on internet and they are desperately need to look for 4 ppl for each office.
The HR manager still insist to contact me after I ignore him the first time (both e-mail and phone) because he is from montreal. Then, after I answer his call the second time, he actually flied to vancouver to interview me from Montreal. Then, the first interview, he highly recommended me to the office manager to see me for second round.

After the second round, they said their financial manager would do an phone interview with me since he is in Montreal (which is the final stage as far as I understand). Then, I was on the phone for 30 minute with their senior vice president.

Here is what the vice president said which confuse me

"Welcome on board" (That mean hired me right???)

"I will see you in the Vancouver office if we are both still interest in each other"

"Do you have baby? Because with the new SAP system, I'm sure you might need to stay behind to do follow up at the beginning"

"how soon can you leave your current job? Because I want you to go to the information session training in US on March 10, 2008 but seems like you can't make it because of the two weeks notice. But don't worry, you won't miss anything if you fly to Montreal in May for the 3 weeks training"

"I think you would fit the position well. I will ask our HR to contact you on my way out"

Then, 1.5 week, no response. Well, they returned my call on Monday said that the HR was away on Thursday and Friday that's why he couldn't return my call.
Then, the HR said it looks like they want to do one more interview with me. Either I fly over to Montreal to see them or they send someone to Vancouver to meet with me. It's depends on my status. At this stage, it is still very promising.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON with them??
anyone can tell me? Today is Wed, and they still haven't send me anything that they want to arrange for the last interview.

Are they BSing me? Is it normal for a large company like that?

作者: daimo 時間: 2008-3-5 15:17

If I were you I wouldn't resign unless I have the job offer signed.

Lots of HR ppl know how to keep people "warm" while they are still choosing candidates.

作者: puZZle 時間: 2008-3-5 15:32

utopia 姐
the job market now is very good la
even if u dont get that job u will have a lot of options

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-5 16:25

damnit, she just left all the sudden.........and told me last minute that she has to go get her contact lens...

Guess I have to delay one more day~~

作者: SAZABI 時間: 2008-3-5 16:33

arrr... I wouldn't trust a word from those HR people.

If those words come from someone who is "able" to interview you and is directly linked to the operation (i.e. chief engineer, project manager), then I would take the words lor.
For some HR people, their responsibility is to find the best candidate for the company.  However, when they fly all the way to meet you doesn't mean he/she has super high interest in you.  To fly over to see someone, the 1st objective is to show the company that he/she is working hard not searching locally only.  Plus, the person get the benefit to travel for fun (may be).

But don't worry, that's just my opinion towards the situation.  Whether you are their frist prospect or not, I can't tell, but for sure they are interested in your qualification, which matters the most.  When my company hire people, we care about the qualification and experience highlight the most.

In most industry, it is hard to hire good people now.  So don't worrry.  There are lots of opportunities out there at the moment

Yes! this is what I would do too. I won't quit unless I got the new job.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-5 16:45

Those words that I mentioned was from their senior vice-president in their North America head office.........

The HR manager is the most quiet HR I ever met in numerous interviewsssss..

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-5 16:53

The whole interview with this company make me feel like I"m day dreaming...... they were like quick action that I quickly gone through their 3 interview within a week.......so hot that all the sudden, it's quiet down without any notice........

It just so strange...., the so called Financial manager (their accounting based in Montreal) and the HR manager dun seems to be a talker at all.

80% of the interview, they just sit there and wait for me to sell myself to them. They spend probably 5-10 minutes to ask me question and the rest of the time, they keep asking "if there anything else you want to ask" or "if there is anything else you want to tell me" for sooooo many times..........

and on my 2nd round, I don't think I done good at all...... then they select me for the 3rd one...and give me a feeling that is the final one............. ( I can't recall now.. it was the office manager who done 80% of the talking.... just a old gentleman keep telling how great their company is and how life change without notice...... )

I had no experience that deal with international company like that before. When I said international, it mean they have office globally, including HK regional office lor...

So I'm not sure if it's because they are still selecting candidate or big company tend to do things slow

作者: Alcoholic 時間: 2008-3-6 08:48

Twin,
until the day that you get a contract appointment from the new company, don't quit your job. no matter how promising the interviewer make it seem like, they might turn you down last second.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-6 09:02

I'm quitting not because of this interview la.
So many things had happened lately, and that's really way too much. I can only feel uncertainty and mess in this office lately.
Everyday has something new happening and with the key employee away for meeting for two weeks and new management and new owner, everything seems to be out of control.....

ai....., well, my case is different I guess? If I can't find a job sometimes soon, I would focus on education since it's my first priority.

作者: kaimui22 時間: 2008-3-6 09:26

i think if you have a backup plan and no need to worry (financially), then why not quit your job if you are so unhappy. Don't think too much about the job offer from Montreal as they haven't proved themselves to be a company you can trust yet. Just make sure you know what you're going to do once you quit. If you can find a second job right away, then do so. If you want to enrich yourself educationally and can afford it, why not take this time off and study what you want?

Just make sure you have a plan and don't depend on the new company until they have a contract for you.

Good luck.

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-6 09:53

Yes I do not think you should put too much hope on that nw job.  Expect nothing but if something good comes it will definitely be a plus.  This way you will not feel disappointed.

I think if you still have annual vacation to use, use it.  Let yourself relax for few days and do not think about anything.

I would not want to stick with a company with no future at all.  I do not mind the size of the company as long as it got some future.  That's what I always got lied to by the top management for my old job.  I always see a future but it turns out to be disappointment.  My old company changed name, focus and management more than once.  Everytime I always think there would be a change.  I wasted so much time there.

You are just putting pressure on yourself which is not good.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-6 10:32

Thanks for everybody again.

At this moment, what make me so determined on quitting the job is I have no burden on my shoulder.

That's why my co-worker has been telling me. (Well, she supposed to be under me but she is old enough to be my mom or aunt heehe) I'm still young and I should focus on my education when I can still afford to do so. She keep telling me once I have my own family, I cannot afford to do school anymore....
I

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-6 10:34

Basically, I have no hope on this new job at all.
Not even when their vice president told me these promising words.
The reason why I brought this up here is I'm very confuse on what the heck is going on and want to know the reason behind. So next time, if I run into the same situation, I would know what to do.
Because of their so called promising word, I missed one of my interview chance which pissed me off.....

Well, si daan la, I learned something new lor. Even if a company said he hired me, I won't believe it until I see the paperwork and sign it.

Sazabi,
ok! i rely on you ga la! hahaha...
the address is 1066 West Hastings

Twin,
you should go out to celebrate tonight with caveman after you hand in your letter!!! sometimes, i think when i get my chance to hand it my letter, instead, i want to to just go up to my bin tai boss & say a big F-U in her face! saves me time & thought to write a letter

hahaha...my "to do list"....hahahaha i'm still doing it. omg. i wanna run away from it. i don't know whether to cry or laugh about it lor. my hubby told me not to do it, cus it's so overdone...but i can't....

the interview @ 1:30 is like Oxxxx Axxxx Management. i have NO CLUE what sort of management company it is. it seems like a more challenging job, but the range of range is pretty sweet.

the 2nd interview @ 3:15 is for a wireless technology company that deals with telus/bell/dell/orange etc... it's a younger company, with younger employees...seems so much fun to work at. and the duties are what i like too, with new things to learn. the wage is less than the first interview, but i'm actually more interested in working for this company lor.

myversa:
i tried EVERYTHING. i was on mybc.ca, 411.com, i did all the searches i possibly could...but i can't find anything. i even search the directory of all the companies with the address 1066 W.Hastings...& since i know which floor they're on, I browsed through the companies with similar suite #...but NOTHING! i think i'll call back to ask them what suite #, because she told me their office is on X floor...so i assumed they took up the whole floor. but when i search, there was different suite #s for that floor...so i'm confused lor.

作者: Goldfish 時間: 2008-3-6 19:00

How good is the market now?? What is the most effective to search for a job?

作者: Alcoholic 時間: 2008-3-6 20:41

i would say the job market sucks...unless your looking for something that's like $12/hr

my Livestock B grad from UVic with mud mud health computer science management...something like that la. she had so much trouble looking for job. today, she ended up taking an office job that's only 32 annually

i did my search online... but i can tell you that my mind as well just monitor one search engine suen la. cus all the websites are spammed with recruiting agencies, posting the same jobs on every site. but when you register with them, they never call you back. & those stupid assessment tests are a waste of time.

Try to be a traffic controller before you use this as an exmaple to bash the system?
There are lots of jobs that don't require post secondary and easily over 50k per year, but trust me, you don't want (or most people don't want) to get into those fields.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-10 08:24

Superberry,

I think the job market is relatively active. My brother had two job offers within a month. He took the first job in town and after working there for less than a month, telus from Vancouver contacted him and hired him and they are willing to pay for the moving expenses. So I would say, if you have the right education nor experience, it shouldn't be too hard to find a job.

With accounting field, I think the current market is active. I see job postings everywhere on different job seeking website.

作者: superberry 時間: 2008-3-10 11:16

Customer service is not that bad... it all comes down to who the customers are.... Maybe I'm just lucky since most of the customer need to come and beg for help.... haha

做了多年客戶服務的經驗﹐大概 10% 客係難服侍兼奄尖無厭足﹐仲係多數係白人﹐而菲律賓同中國人比較有感恩之心﹐但我仍然好享受做客戶服務﹐因為還有 90% 好的客人嘛。。。對那 10% 骨聲吞左就日日都可以好快樂。。。

但我最近轉工了﹐唔係因為唔鐘意客戶服務﹐而係管理層衰﹐一D無能的管理層是很令人憤怒同泄氣的。

作者: superberry 時間: 2008-3-11 20:19

totally agree.......

當管理層認為你唔掂, 就算D客對你女甘錫, 有好多客排住隊等你 serve 都無用. 因為老細話你唔掂就係唔掂. That's why I give up on customer service. The evaluation guideline is too subjective. Some managers rate you as excellent because they like you. Some rate you as not qualify because they hate you. Some rate you solely base on your sale performance......

Thanks for the advice. Which job websites are the most effective here? My friend is just entry level, so he has little bargaining power.

I found my job at bcjobs.ca
I would recommend bcjobs.ca and monster.ca

I don't like job bank because it seems like so many weird or small company on there.

Ask your friend to print out a bunch of resumes and just walk in to offices to submit. You can get a job like this. Most company they are probably deciding on hiring or not, if they see your resume and like you, you might get hire.

Another way to find a job easily, is see job agent.
But don't just join any one, join the one that are well known and professional.

I highly recommend Robert Half, the agents there are professionally train and won't just throw any job to you. They carefully match your skill and the working environment that you prefer which most agents won't do that to the candidate. Although Robert Half only do finance and accounting but I think they have subdivision that do normal office staffing too... if I dun remember wrong.

恭喜 utopia

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-19 09:57

Thank you Little Prince,

But then I put myself in a hell situation my b*tch boss at my current place just become xtra b*tchy lately.

She tries her very best to b*tch at me on every single thing and tries her best to scream at me whenever she has a chance.

Twin, I'm so ready to give her a finger. Yesterday I almost wanted to talk back to her but my co-worker calm me down and told me it's only few more days before I leave.
If I talk back, I might relief my anger but I will ruin my HR daily life which I don't want that happen as the HR manager is very very close to me and protecting me all these years. ai... I can't wait until Tuesday man!!!

作者: SAZABI 時間: 2008-3-19 10:04

Yes... you did the right thing. No need to cause more drama as you are leaving anyways.

作者: Alcoholic 時間: 2008-3-19 11:59

Twin,
just hang in there...!!!!
maybe she just wanna trick you to talk back & then destruct your "leaving in good terms"... you don't wanna scratch your file last minute ga~
besides, just pity her lor. this kind of people know very well herself that she will not find another "soft heart" employee like you to shrimp. if she continues this attitude, new employee will just quit & complain her

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-19 12:07

Thankx twin,

but she is just an insane pyscho ~~~~ When I said "scream" at me, she technically did ...........ai....... and my desk is pile with so much paperwork... and she gave these to me last minute lor

and continue giving me attitude on EVERY SINGLE THING~~~

I didn't ask the HR what did she say because I don't want and I don't need to know as I'm leaving in few more days.

that's what everybody telling me, it's almost impossible for her to find another employee like me. 90% of the girls out there will not stand her xxxxx attitude.

The auntie sit next to me always give me a two thumb up and ask me how can I actually survive in the past two years.. if it was her, she will be long gone already.

作者: Alcoholic 時間: 2008-3-19 12:55

Then just do what you're responsible for...
don't rush yourself la. i mean it's fine for boss to give employee work. but when you know she's doing it on purpose, then just relax, work at regular pace. there's no point of selling your life to get things done for stupid boss like this.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-19 13:32

LOL, Twin,

Some honger guy just came by for interview now.
I feel sorry for him when I peek at his resume. He drove all the way from Richmond to serve this crazy b*tch.. poor him hahahahaha

When he was waiting for my insane boss quietly for 15 minutes, I really want to tell him, JUST RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

So today is officially your last day at this old job?

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-20 13:58

No, Myversa, it's Tuesday.

I'm SUPER REGRET that I gave her extra few days .......instead of 10 days notice~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Man, after she found out I had a new job, her attitude just getting worse and worse

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-20 14:08

Why you do not just leave before the long weekend?

After few days relaxing and you have to go back to see her?

BTW, did that Hong guy got hired?

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-20 14:33

Originally, I was being stupid and thought i need to gave 14 days notice.
Then, I'm too lazy to change the day as I thought few extra days = few extra dollar........... since I wasn't hired yet.............. ai............................
Plus, they haven't hired anybody yet ar mah.....................

I"M SUPER REGRET NOW....

Nope, the HK didn't get hired. I don't think he is qualified anyways, plus he is too nervous that cannot present himself well lor.

But now, I decided to listen to everybody. I will TAKE MY TIME and work on REGULAR PACE.She expected me to clean up a log file for her before I'm gone and clean up everything... YEAH RIGHT

Utopia.......... your boss is so like my boss........... He did a quarter review with me on my last day of work. Everyone was so surprised, as if I would really care what he said! (well, end up I was supposed to have "personality problem", but I don't care!)

Congratulation! Today is Utopia's last day with her mean manager.

作者: utopia 時間: 2008-3-25 10:18

THANKS MYVERSA,

LOL, I knew that b*tch gone crazy yesterday when I called in sick.
I mean, would I look like I care? She has been giving me attitude but she always called in sick with different stupid reason.

For example, she got a paper cut and it hurts, so she can't come to work.
I'm not joking, this is one of her brilliant ideas for not coming back to work.

作者: SAZABI 時間: 2008-3-25 10:32

wahhahaha... u really call in sick? lol, that is way too obvious before your last day, ahhaha

作者: myversa 時間: 2008-3-25 10:42

Who was the one picked up the phone when you called in sick?

Did you make up sick voice when you called in sick?

hahaha.. there is no point working for the last day because your mind will not be on the office.

How can a paper cut mkae her not come to work? She got what she deserved.

作者: Alcoholic 時間: 2008-3-25 10:57

TWIN...............!!!!
