What do i want?
There is going to be a new performance judging system for my company and we were briefed on how this system works. Somehow a sense of insecurity just popped out of nowhere.
Boss started off the briefing by letting us (the new guys) know how they generally selected us. Ability to work and potential to grow were the two criteria. The next thing which struck me was that he mentioned that our market value, unlike other corporate companies, drops as time goes. Then the very next thing which struck me the most, " so if we find that you can't really perform or work well here, we will actually advise you to leave for the better of you and the company."
What he said is crude but true. In the kind of industry i am in, market value will just drop as we get more specialise over time. So it's better to leave early and to start somewhere else early. So the next question to myself is that do i wanna stay here forever? If not, should i be looking out now? If so, what kind of job i wan? all questions but no answers.
Well, i guess there are definitely some having the same concerns as i do. In fact i feel, in all jobs, career prospect is always an issue. How you define good prospect? Does good prospect equal to good money or stable income that you want? Interest and prospect? Are you happy and satisfy? So people, will you sell your life to the company you working at now?
In life, it's is important to do what you like, what you want. But most of the time, many of us don't really know what we really want, what are the options out there, etc. Some will say 身不由己 , having too many concerns and restains. For me, yes, i know current job is not really for me. Not that i can't do it but its just whether i can do well or rather, if i WANT to do well. What is holding me back? I guess its the uncertainty here and outside. If i don't know what i want, staying is the best choice, isn't it? If staying is the best choice, can i make any achievements?
Dear readers, i know i have been 'complaining' about my job and some of you actually advised me to change. But somehow the urge for me to tender that fateful letter is still not there, not until i have decided on my path. haha, somehow, maybe, or unfortunately, if i am fired, things will be made easier? Haha.
