Job updates
I got the job!
So that ending remark wasn't a bad one! :)
I am pretty satisfied with the compensation package. It was what I asked for and I couldn't be more thankful. After getting off the phone with the HR lady, I've been tapping my calculator and working out the sums. Well, yes the package is going to be less than what I would be getting at my current job if I stay on (basic + shift allowance); but the joys of not having to work odd hours! That being said, I am not naive enough to think that I wouldn't have to put in the extra hours if the workload calls for it. But still!!
Try rotating between 5pm-2am; 6pm-3am; 1-10pm shift on a monthly/ weekly basis for 2 years and you'll pretty much know how I feel. Eeks-y feeling.
So.. The new company was eager for me to start as quickly as I can and wanted me to sign the offer letter today! Rescheduled it to Monday afternoon instead. So though I'm on block leave, I'll have to tender my resignation on Monday.
I initially wanted to tender before signing the new contract of employment. But thankfully Fang pointed out it would be wiser to do the other way round. Toot! What was I thinking about? I guess I was harbouring the secret thought that my current boss will try to retain me and do a possible counter-offer; but I seriously doubt they will be able to match the new compensation package and put me on the normal 9-6 official working hours permanently.
So yeah I guess I will go sign the offer letter first, then tender.
I also finished typing out my resignation letter and it wasn't easy. I gave up trying to be original (anyway how original can you get with those letters anyway??) so I ended up doing a google search on "resignation letter". You'll be amazed at what you can find, resignation letter templates all ready laid out and just waiting for you to fill in the blanks "notice period"; "position", "name of current employer" etc etc.
So there, the letter is alltyped copied and pasted out, and is just waiting to be printed and signed by yours truly.
I'm starving and I better go grab some lunch & study!
Thanks to everyone who have been keeping me in their thoughts and prayers on the job situation! But most importantly, all praises to God!
