On the 26th of March 2008, I tendered in my letter to the boss and resigned from the position of Executive which I have held for the last 4 years and nearly 10 months. Before I handed in my letter, I was pretty apprehensive and nervious. It is not that I really like my position so much that I am hesitating leaving such a place. The problem got to do with whether or rather what the reaction of the boss will be! In the end, my worries were unfounded, the boss excepted my letter with no big emotion. Later on in another subsequent talk with her, she told me she was surprised I have stayed so long despite the problems with the management! Yah, this means my presence is non-essential and pretty much redundant and I should have gone long ago! Well although I know I was bad-mouthed by her often but hearing from her personally is rather different. Anyway, in the last few days, my parents were insulted because they were uneducated and thus was not able to teach or nurture me in management! I dressed badly cos I came to work in jeans and shorts and the ex-division chair was not happy! Hmm, well I wonder what is the truth and whether there is any truth in her words! I believed if I m really bad in my dressing, the ex-manager will probably talk to me or at least hint to me. No one can beat the boss in coming for accrediation meeting in a light pink long sleeve blouse and a long light purple skirt! Too bad I din take a photo of it!
On Friday, one day after I tendered, she told me it was a short notice that I was giving but I pretty much don think I will be able to work for her any longer. She had wanted me to leave end of the month so that I can transit over to the next person. If you pretty much think that I should not have gone long ago, then there is also no reason that I should stay further to hand over! I have lots of leave to clear. I have so much leave to clear because it is troublesome to take leave and no one to cover. It is troublesome cos you have to check with her first before u can book any holidays and if it coincide with hers, she will threaten to not let you go as no one is around in the office. For goodness sake, if I m away for a long period, I will jolly well ensure that the next person or someone in the office will cover my duty. There is no crush too because I m not a doctor. If the boss is not around, the clinic will be closed too so there is no conflict anyway! For handing over of work, I will try to teach the temporary Assistant and my MO. Poor MO got to learn how to do my job! Wih the frequent changeover of manpower every month and the need to cover whoever is missing, the opportunity to take leave is minimal. Everytime someone leaves, I will do that person's job. Well I try and even if it is not good, I tried anyway. I don complain because it may be my fault that the hiring is delayed. In the end, when I leave, you should at least say "Thank you" to me for being there to hold the function together all these years!
Morale of the story is "Learn from this experience and don be like the boss". She taught us what not to be!
"People who come to your aid in a time of personal crisis are people of genuine compassion and courage. More often than not, people will try to act as though nothing is wrong. Others are either afraid or refuse to get involved, and quietly drift away."
- Words of Wisdom from Daisaku Ikeda
My mum says I m rude. Well I guess i will try to note that. I guess I m rude because I m quite a crumpsy person when it comes to expressing my feeling.

Yeah!! Thumbs up for finally firing your boss!! U shld have done it long time ago, gal! But whatever it is, never step on your boss' toes before u leave cos u never know u might cross path with her again one day! Amicable departure is the best policy..
You should have read my resignation letter! Everybody told me I m too polite already but then no point getting into a bad fight with her when I m about to leave. Just smile and do watever. Ultimately whoever is left behind got to answer. 8)
