From day one I already know that the job wasn’t for me. It was high-paying and it had great benefits, but I just couldn’t get myself to enjoy it.
One of the reasons I hated my previous job was the bosses. It was a big company with so many bosses I even couldn’t know all their names. With so many employees but none of them I barely know. I was just a number, one of many. And that was disheartening. It’s easy to feel like a small cog in a very large machine.
And I stayed there for 10 months. I would force myself to go to work every day, and I dreaded every single minute that I was there. The job itself was hard, with two stations for each worker. 10 hours of work every day, sometimes have work during weekends too. When you’re not happy at your job, it shows in everything that you do. You’re less productive and you can’t wait to go home at the end of the day.
At that time I planned to work for just 1 year and resigned but something happened to me. I got covid during my 1 week vacation. I rested for another week when I came back the team leader was angry at me in front of many people during our pep talk. That triggers me to resign. I didn’t show up for work after that.
I’m not happy with how I left that job. I know it’s unprofessional but I don’t regret it. It’s like a fishbone stuck in my throat was finally removed. I didn’t even bother to collect my last pay and my stuff.
It was not a good experience but the job helped me a lot financially. I’m thankful for that.
I’m now working at a small company. I met new good people. High-position people that are not distancing themselves from regular employees. Also, the lunch is always delicious. It’s a big change from my previous job, but I enjoying my job now.
The pay is not high as my previous job (no overtime). I’m not saying that money doesn’t matter. It does. But it’s not everything. For me, if I’m not happy with what I’m doing, then it’s not worth my time and energy.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this helps someone who is in a similar situation. Take care.
