SUBSCRIBESaturday after
Friends were quite taken aback, especially those who didn’t know about my resignation. They’ve been asking: “Where you going?”, “Why”, “When are you leaving?”. Its common knowledge for Smart employees, especially if the one leaving is from the technical group. Its always for greener pastures in foreign shores. With the surge in wireless telecom hiring around the world, from the Americas (north and south), to Asia (Indonesia, Pakistan), Europe and Middle East, a good number of Smart’s (and probably Globe’s) well trained engineers are making the exodus. Even if its a contract job, renewable after every few months.
Not me. I wanted to do things that I’ve always wanted to and now’s just the right time to do all these things. A door has opened and it’s just time to grab this opportunity. I can’t wallow in a job that has become stale. As hectic as a Smart employee’s work is, I just saw myself wandering along. The challenges are past. The enthusiasm has just evaporated. Some things were not what I’ve expected to be.
As what my HR manager told me, it might be a transition that afflicts workers every ten years. In my case, its earlier. But I have to carve out a niche for myself, something that I want to do and be proud of.

Your quite exit has caught me by surprise though I sensed that you could be planning an exit for whatever reason you only know. Congatulations for the bold move! I’ll be missing you for sure but I know we can always keep in touch. It’s nice working with you and your exit has just given me more reasons to confirm how I see the workplace. I know there will be adjustments but I know God is leading you to pursue what He already has in store for you. You’ve just decide to follow your heart and you’ll the rewards later. I know you crave for more meaning in life and the step you’ve taken is just fulfilling the answers you been looking for. Hope you’ll find that it’s still God who provides meaning and purpose for this temporary life of ours. You’ll be more satisfied and be fulfilled if know more about the Lord Jesus Christ. He will lead you to where your heart seeks coz He is the ultimate quest and fulfillment that life has to offer. Everything is all about Jesus..God bless you on your quest..
