Resignation. A Dream or Nightmare?

Posted on June 10, 2016 at 11:10 PM

To start off the topic, in my life so far, I had worked for 3 companies (which I do not wish to state. Some might know already but I don't want to mention it in this topic). Generally, Company one is a fast food chain, Company two is a retail store, and Company three is an attorney's office. Not to mention two unofficial employments; one is at a local Vietnamese restaurant and a new travel/tour agency that couldn't continue business. Today I want to share with you my working experience and feelings, especially when the topic of "resignation" is involved. 


Out of all the places I've ever worked at, I've enjoyed my time at Company one the most. I started as a crew member, to trainer and made my way to the management team. I am honored and proud to be the youngest manager at that restaurant. During those 3 years I've spent there, there's so many memories whether they're good or bad, I never regretted working there. My experience was really significant. Unfortunately, they company is under-rated due to the public mentioning their name/food is bad for you. (C'mon. It's fast food. Most fast food chains are like that.) However, I have to admit they're really efficient on building their team and business. I had a tough time to make my way up but resources are available for me to reach my goals. (No wonder why they're financially really successful. It's a win-win.)


The reason why I left this company to Company three is becauase...they hit three strikes. Confused huh? I believe (and probably you had heard) some good reasons to quit your job is because of either salary is not enough, you got a higher position opportunity, and/or you're not getting along with the people working there. Company three gave me that and that's what made mde decided to leave.Of course there's also you're moving away, personal family matters, etc. I felt bad to leave because I've enjoyed my time there and they've helped me become much more confident in myself. Most of the staff are amazing too (except some upper management x_X common problem at work.) 


Back to the main topic, resignation. Everyone knows to give notice at least 2 weeks in advanced to end things between you and the company. Unfortunately with all my employments, resignation has been up and down. I wasn't able to complete 2 weeks notice and end things not the way I wanted. I resigned Company two so easily because they didn't even give me work. When I submitted my resignation letter, I didn't even need to complete 2 weeks. For Company one to Company three, it was upsetting due to two schedules at the same time. I had no choice but to leave Company one early for Company three.


Recently, I've also resigned Company three. I felt bad for sudden noticed but to think about it.....I had no regrets. There was too many problems encountered at work. I was treated like a slave and they kill my dignity in front of others. I mean, I've made mistakes and I've encountered lots of problems at Company one between staff, management and customers, but never once was I offended for who I am. Company three was too much! Resignation was a beautiful dream every single day I went to work and once I was able to leave, I don't know whether if it was a nightmare or a sweet revenge. Why? It's because when someone treats you unhumanily like them, you'll never know what evil thoughts and actions they would do to you. I don't regret leaving suddenly and broke the 2 week noticed rule. To be honest, I gave them 2 days and didn't even complete it. Yes, I felt bad but when you're scared, how would you continue? 


I find it really funny about Company three is that between me and the boss are in good terms, except some people in "between" causing the main reason why I left. I've learned that high turnover in a company/business, it's a huge red flag for the bosses to know "there's something going on within management." Unfortunately, I also fell into that trap and ended up leaving but I wish my boss would understands that.


Before I left, one of the "betweens" tried or liked to "give me a lesson" about what I'm doing is wrong and they're right. To be honest, all I heard is "blah blah blah blah blah...." People these days need to realize "Actions are stronger than words." (Because their words are so strong, I have to take action to be even with them.) I did pay attention to what they've said and they have my sincere respect and appreciation for their work/effort, however, if you're setting bad examples and looked down on people, who is going to listen to you? Respect is gained when you appreciate other people and trust them. You have to earn it. Also, the main purpose of the conversation is to "think about your actions," well they should think about their actions too. You look dumb! You kill a fire with water or a fire extinglisher, but not with oil or gas; it's just going to cause more damage. I'm the type that kills people with my kindness. I don't need to waste my time for unless things. I barely said anything and only observed. I kept my side short and simple. You think I can't do it so I give up and leave; what's the purpose of staying? Lecturing me on? You think that would work? Just make yourself look more dumb. I leave because of the nonsense lectures, not to hear more of it. You're probably asking why did I wasted my time to listen to them right? I do have a few reasons. It's because I get to see them go crazy & I get to hear what they have been thinking. Inside themself, they would think they're royal and have a good reputation; with these actions, they're lower than the word low. I find myself from being defeated to defeat them. I keep my dignity with my kindness. It's strong, effortless, and makes you worthy. They have no right to say I was wrong because I was never once said or did anything offensive and in this case, I didn't even do anything at all. 


Everyone has a temper. I do too (proof is the rage in the previous paragraph). However maintaining it is the key. It helps you from getting negativity, stress, and gives you a significant reputation. Always remember you're in control of everything. Don't let them take over you and bring you down because you deserve what's best for you. Life isn't always perfect and equal but to succeed, you have to overcome it and mend it to become more perfect and equal. Move forward to positivity. Leave negativity behind.
