Hello There!! I’m sharing my life changing decision which I felt was wrong at that time but today I feel I did the right step. Some decisions can change your world and some can turn your life upside down.
Few years back, When I finished my internship in a company and joined a good firm. It was my first job and I was so excited to join as soon as possible because we all dreamt of many things which we could buy after earning and start supporting our family financially. I was having more expectations from that job. When I arrived there for the very first day, everyone was acting differently. At first, I felt just because I was the only young employee among them and everyone was older. I felt it was because of the generation gap or they’re thinking I was immature. When I got to my desk and started working, I felt it’s alright. It’s the first day and these things happened, don’t think too much. But after spending some weeks, I have to stay there after 6 pm which was not okay for me because I did not have any reason to stay but my boss told me that I’ll leave when my whole team leaves the office. In my firm, working hours were not fixed but I was not having any tasks which needed to be completed after working hours. This became my routine to wait after 6 pm and even my team members did not include me in any project. My team members don’t want to interact with me or involve me in any discussion. I felt that I was just wasting my time there and I had gained nothing. I didn’t gain any experience or haven’t done any productive things. I was planning to find some other job and switch from this firm. One day, I was sick and unable to get up from bed due to high fever. I texted my boss that I’m not feeling well and unable to come to the office. I texted him in the early morning and waited for the reply. Instead of asking for a reason or approving leave. He called me and started screaming at me on the phone. He was not even trying to listen to my words. He was so frustrated and mad at me like I made a mistake by asking him for the leave. He even told me to leave the job and told me to send the resignation letter tomorrow. Being sick and getting this kind of response made me think about the decision to switch the job. I was afraid and unable to think what to do next. I shared this incident with my parents, they supported me in this decision and told me to send the resignation letter to the office. And finally, I left the job.
I felt that this was the best and right decision of my life. Today, I’m having my dream job and having the best team members. I felt that if I never left the job I would never have my dream job.
