I've worked to different jobs and companies already in the past four year after college. I've talked, known and worked with different people -- from my boss to co-employees to clients. Among them, I stayed the longest on my previous job. That was for a year and two months. Most of the time I spent only 6 to 10 months in a company. My reasons are just one of the few if you'll ask me why I left the company and searched for a better one. There are actually many reasons why an employee leave a company. And believe me it's not always a negative reason. But what really are those reasons? In here I list few of them (this might help you compose your resignation letter soon...):
- Top on the list: "another company offered a better compensation or package with lots of good and visible benefits". Yes, that is always at the top. Who does not want to have a good pay? You cannot work if you are problematic on where to get money to pay your bills, right? People work hard at their best to be paid fairly or much.
- "Career growth.", is this for real? It surely is! This is also the safest answer during interviews so don't be surprised. Some companies give trainings, promotions, more projects with advance technologies and tasks that can help us become more mature and knowledgeable about our skills and fields. It is not always about money, our minds must be fed also.
- "Employees leave because of managers not because of work." I have read this in another blog and made me realize that it is very true. I was able to last for months on my previous jobs because I have good pay, great found friends, and I love my work. But I forgot all of those good reasons whenever I remember my boss who always say, "If not for me you will not have your work. Your earnings are your debts to me. I can replace you easily. Your nothing to me."
- "Very tiring and exhausting job. In short, all work no play!" We are only human, we need time to relax. Work is not everything that we do in our life. An imbalance workplace is not healthy at all.
- "I don't see my worth in the company." Even on our childhood days, we are delighted whenever our parents or other people recognize our talents and skills. We enjoy our job more when we are appreciated by our boss or even our co-employees. It is our ego that should be fed. If not we start to get tired of working and stop enjoying the job.
- I always hope that the company that I will be joining welcome me like a family. Luckily, that hope is always granted. It is not a good feeling to be left out by your co-employees, even more your team mates! I'll feel paranoid if they'll think that I can't belong to their "circle". Who does not want to belong anyway?
