Greener Pastures: Is it really for the best? or for your Headaches?

When we talk about careers, we are talking about our future and on how we will sustain life as it is. I find it somehow absurd, if one resigns in his work then his employers or boss becomes bitter and tries to give you one heck of pain. I think it is a personal choice of the person to say quits or not…. Bitterness is not an acceptable response.

I’m writing this because right now I’m in that situation. I find it very hard to leave my company and I don’t know why I’m having all this headaches… So let me slice the story a little bit.

I owe a lot of debt and gratitude to the company because they allowed me to have a Master’s degree for free literally. They financed my Masters education BUT tied me to work for them for 2 years after my graduation. So it’s been 10 months already after my graduation, and I realized that I do not completely owe them. I worked and studied hard for that degree, and I think all the work should be credited on my name because it’s not them who answered the entire test, worked 24 hours just to pass a project, and scuffled till death just to finish my Thesis. I believe I really worked hard for it.

Then recently, a received a job offer from another company. They called me if I’m interested to be interviewed and I said yes. Why not? It’s an opportunity that you shouldn’t miss. I went there and fortunately after series of interviews and tests, I got the job.

They are offering a better compensation package that’s way above what I’m earning in my company…. So what do you think is the best thing to do? Of course, I accepted the offer and filed my resignation in my company… That’s when all the trouble began…..

Headaches..... stress..... problems.... etc... what @ #$%&!!!!!


I really have to find a way to pay my "Education Bond"....

besides the usual shouting, sour-graping, black-mailing, etc from your superiors.... hahahahahahah
