The time has come for me to begin printing out the letter of resignation. A quick search online provided me a link to I-resign and with a few seconds of editing, I have a fully functional letter of resignation. Normally this isn’t something I would do so quickly after starting, after all I only joined the company on 19th February 2007, however I never really settle and I have never felt like I belong there. I spend all day staring into a computer screen without a break and get the same boring calls every day. Perhaps if they had trained me a little better so I actually knew what I was doing before-hand, then I wouldn’t be getting quite so pissed off with the whole job, but it’s too late for that now. With last weeks informal discipline, I finally decided enough was enough. They had placed the straw that broke the metaphoric camels back, they had hammered in the final nail of the coffin and they had… well I can’t think of another saying, but I’m sure you get my drift.
I was never quite sure of the correct proceedure when it came to work. I would be told one thing by my trainer, then I would be told another by a team leader, and then I would be disciplined for doing what I had been lead to believe was correct. Whatever I did never seemed correct. And if they really wanted to encourage people to ask questions and attempt to fix problems first time, then why, when you go to ask for help, is the first thing that person does is tick your name off on a chart, as if it’s some sort of three strikes and your out system. They wonder why people are sometimes hesitant in asking questions?!?!
Anyway, having checked over my contract, it’s 4 weeks notice I must provide, so this time in 4 weeks I will have completed my notice period and will be, once more, unemployed. I guess it’s time I got back in the hunt for a new job…
