To take up or not to take up

Im at a T junction where i've decided either to take the offer, or leave for better sky. Might not be a better sky but a better ground for me to be exposed and learn more.

Have spoken to a couple of people about the job offer and im glad my sis have given some insight to this offer.

She post these questions to me

1. How do you feel about the job?
2. Is this something you want to do?
3. Where will you be based?
4. What's the reporting line? Do you report to a regional manager or just the local manager?
5. Pay structure?
6. Is this aligned to what you want to do?
7. Is this company still ok to stay in?
8. Are you looking for new exposures, new industries?
9. How portable are your skills if you move to another company or industry?
10. Is the management supportive in theefforts to bring a consistent level of service?

All the above seems to just summarised the important things that i should consider. Short and sharp.

Thinking of the above, it seems that the new job scope that they are offering seems more precise and challenging.

I've spoken to MP about receiving my jobscope and the first thing she say, "i tell you its gonna be a deep shit that you need to get. There's only 3 ppl and blarblarblar"

My first thoughts, have she ever wondered what she have given me throughout the 2 years in operations? I feel that I got myself exposed to more things, get myself more involved. She once said, "Gary is not a good team leader and that to need training to lead as like 'nonsense'" but my thoughts were, "you choose Gary to be a team leader. If he DO NOT excel or if you DO NOT aid him, you are no better. Just shows how good your choice is." Soo ironic her words.

Think she has grown stagnant. She needs to move on as well. Or is she getting too comfy with us that she say such things? I always feel that to certain extent, a leader should not show her follows her weak thoughts. Not a good image.

Anyway, if her saying like that, makes me even certain that i need to move on. Either take up the offer or leave. Regardless if the sky over the other end is brighter or not. She's not offering me anything better though. Job wise.

BullSXXX.......

Now, they no longer tok about cutting staff.....all say and no action. Not that i hope they really do something, (afterall i hope my staff can stay) but it only shows how 'trustworthy' they are.....sigh

Scary power

That day, MP told me that they wants to cut staff if sales are bad these two months. Why? cos based on the productivity report, we are overstaff, under produce. Sales are short of 2 million. But seriously speaking, its not our fault. IN this travel line when the clients decide if they need to travel, we are at a passive situation.

Anyway, MP decides that if they will cut staff, first to target will be my team. And 3 names to be given.

Huh! my first reaction

What the Hxxx! Why? i understand why if i think of it top down but i felt set up. Im not given a situation where i still have to take more workload, but cut 3 staff. Why my team? cos they cannot afford to lose consultants. When biz picks up, then leaving the consultants untouched is a wiser option.

I hate the way they do this

Anyway, it just becomes very scary to me. Why? cos i can make "recommendations" who to keep and kick. The question comes as to "Should i keep people who can work but a bit attitude" or "Should i keep people who will obey me?" In both cases, when im shorthanded, always wise to keep the former to survive. That's where BW will get to stay.

But im sad at the three weakest link. They have improved but not the strongest.

I dun really enjoy doing this decision.

Anyway, since the thought was mentioned to me, till now, there's no news. So, lets just wait and see.....

A new light?

After numerous months and years of complaints, about how i dun like about the way things are done in the company, just when i've decided to move on, look around for a new job to do, MP told me yesterday that the Aussie team is targetting at me.

They wanted to poach me to be a regional IT. One that would support the one and only existing person on the job now.

My first thoughts
1. Im curious how much i can fetch
2. Im not interested in the job.
3. Why on point 2....cos its out of my character to ask more about y things are done the way they are and that's how i troubleshoot many problems.
4. Im curious on the package
5. Im secretly pleased as MP is not pleased

I message MX, HX, Sis and BC about this. They gave me different replies and opinions. MX thinks its a good opportunity that she will grab if its her. HX ask me how i feel. BC lets me tok about it. Sis told me to forget it.

All different ideas.

My thoughts
1. Im not interested as i dun like the boss
2. Im not interested in relocation
3. Im not interested as i wanted to move on. Move on my life but not move within this TMC
4. Im not interested as many of the team has left
5. Im not interested due to the bad experience with them.
6. Im interested to see wat kinda offer they will give to get a person to do regional.

Anyway, i thought, "wait till they really poach me. Things are often said without it really happening."

No point worry. Lets wait

Anyway, before i write about the third day where i bought gifts for my sis...he's the pictures of the gift i got her ........nice leh
