Yesterday and today has been 2 emotional days.. Often ending up with puffy and sore eyes.
Boss spoke to me about my sales target, and that he needed to adjust my salary to a pathetic number.
He was speaking to me and i suddenly had a thought to tender. Man, i remembered writing down in my diary about tendering on the 24th August. And he was asking me on what can be done, and if i accept this meagre salary - on a temporary basis.
At that point in time, many thoughts zoomed through my mind - Mission trip.. mission trip.... what my mom said regarding to my lower-than-what-i-deserve pay.....
And the words "I'll give you one day notice" has parked at the opening of my mouth, for a while, while Boss was talking to me. And at that point in time, i got pretty emotional, and slowly, i said those words.
"I give you one day's notice"
I think Boss didn't expect my answer. He gave me another option: to restart my probation once again, and go for retraining and stuff like that, at the pathetic rate.
He told me to think about it, because he seriously don't want to see anyone leave the company. I told him that i'll think about it, and tentatively it's a one-day's notice.

I called Karen, and was telling her that i gave my boss notice, though he told me to consider. Told her about what i wrote in my diary. It says that i've set to leave, just that it's materializing, even though i've rubbed it off.

4pm, Aunty asked me to go to the meeting room. She offered to personally train me, should i stay. In tears, i told her that i took too long, and i have already extended Boss' kindness upon me, i don't want to exploit that any longer. Yet, she told me to think about it, to reconsider my decision.

CG Meeting, God used Brandon to give me this verse:
Jer 29:11 "For i know the thoughts that i think towards you, Says God, Thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
i know that i'm at the point where i know that i have already set in my heart to leave.
After cg, i went home to type my resignation letter.
Pretty strange that, when i emailed to the PC to print, it stucked for a while... then when i want to print it, all the printings got haywired. It took quite a while for me to get an ideal piece printed and bring to office.
Today, i went to office, Boss asked me about my decision. I gave him the letter. He asked me again as to whether if i'm sure of my decision. I said "Yes"
He gave me an option: To either chiong sales for the next 2 months and forget about the whole resignation thingy, or that i help to generate sales from my current order, and then when i've found a job, i'll give them a one-day notice, so at least i'll still have some income, and not be like no pay at all.
So i gave my orders to Andy Tan and Lo-neng to help with interviews and expedition of orders in the week of absence in the mission. After that, i'll temporarily take back my orders, until i get a job and serve the 1-day notice.
Wha, this is what i call Tremendous favor of God leh!!! I didn't expect them to give me such an option..
Then Boss advised me on the type of jobs that i should go into, such as like mundane jobs like Admin/HR or sales w/o target.... counseling (that's comes with a price). Also, he advises me on the salary package that i should expect.
WHERE CAN GET SUCH A BOSS LIKE THAT RIGHT??? He's willing to allow me to take leave to go for interviews, advises me to jobs.
Really thank God for grace... Tremendous grace of God!

i'm still with Mass Power for now... i'm still holding a job. Initially told my client that i'm leaving, then tell him that i'm not leaving... He was like "Huh?!......Huh? U sure u not leaving ah... Don't tua3 me ah" Lol... But for one, i'm glad that i'm not leaving, yet. But that day will have to come, within the 2 months.
I will really do my best to close sales, since i know that i'm on the deficit side.
But i know that the day to leave will be even harder, because i have experienced the kindest Boss that anyone could ever have.
Really Thank God for Tremendous favor, for giving me the kindest Boss and colleagues that anyone could ever have. I will really miss them very much, when i leave.
