serious post?

it has been a while since i have read this person's blog and i was amazed to learn from him about some instance that i can truly relate too and hear him ranting about the same feeling that i experienced several times and would probably be experiencing some more unless i would stop expecting.

this person is really good and i can say he is really nice, considerate, passionate and understanding. but i have never really thought that he too would leave and he too would feel bad about it too. i thought he really truly understands everything here.

seriously though, i know there has been competition, but i guess, these kind of issues should not be neglected or be taken for granted. company's main assets are actually its people. and as i would quote him: "we're not kids anymore" or something like that ;)

they cannot really expect us to just stay and wait for all the jobs, workloads and opportunities they are laying in our lap. if they have not noticed, there are things far more better than them. they are just lucky to have or grab the good ones first fresh from school.

it happened to me several times. i even shed tears for it. the heck! they actually don't deserve it. my life(char!), my plans were all frozen because of all those false opportunities laid out to me. and for heaven's sake i felt flattered! but yeah! we are not kids anymore. we're not children that can be joked or be fooled by something but later turns out that it was not true after all. and for one, they are not new to this corporate world not to realize that stating something on your employee, and then take it back is never PROFESSIONAL!

i am not blaming my direct superiors for this one. but with all these people leaving them, not just here in head office but also in the other office, they should know that it is not just because we seek better opportunities and better pay, but also because there is something that they are doing that was never right even from the start.

all the while i thought that those persons have been privileged and were lucky to have better pay, more travel and even more recognitions than us. but i never thought that it also happened to them. i guess this is the "this is it" time for me.
