Here's my letter, sir.

Hmm. Where do i start.

After the discussion with a particular somebody last Friday, it was back to sleepless nights. Okay - actually, it's not just me. A colleague of mine was offered a job as well. We're supposed to be in the same team, him being my supervisor. We went on saperate interviews and only got to know that we were talking to the same party one fine day over casual chit-chatting. We decided to leave and start fresh in Cyberjaya. Everything went well until last Friday. I was ready to submit both offer and resignation letters on Monday but had to delay it due to the discussion.

Yesterday, he decided to reject the offer and left me feeling all confused and irritated at the same time. I understand his concerns and will not at any cost try to persuade him to do things he has no interest in. He said he's not ready. Fine. I don't think i'm ready as well but i'm willing to give it a shot. I have to make things work for me, my family and everything that i believed in.

When i accepted this offer 6 years ago, i had no single clue on the software or anything related to it. I know i had to learn fast coz Bossy Boss expected me to know everything. I was yelled at for not knowing the functions and macros in Excel. I had to read a lot of thick, boring manuals and make every mistakes possible to learn the right way of getting things done.

I will do it again if i have to.

And because of that, i have tendered my resignation at 12.20pm today.

It was a painful experience. I never expected any counter-offer or anything like that. It's farfetched, i know, but i did not expect him to be so... cold.

I gave him the letter, he read it, and immediately said, 'Okay. I'll need to find ur replacement.'

Not even a decent question on why, how, when, or anything like that. Nothing at all. It was less than 5 minutes. As i walked towards my cubicle, i heard him calling the IT Manager, asking if she has anyone in mind to take my place.

So there goes. I feel so unwanted. I don't know why i waited for so long to give him the letter. I should have just give it to him as soon as i got the offer.

Yesterday, i still had doubts about leaving but as at this moment, I can't wait to leave.
