Hi everyone , a happy
lunar new year to all. I am in a dilemma and I am writing this to
hear of any advices or opinions. Sorry to dampen everyone’s festive
spirit.
My present job is my first one
upon ORD from NS. My position is a logistics
assistant , it was an entry-level job. About 3
years ago , upon 2.5 months of job searching, I
decided to settle for this job. Over the past years and months , I
have done nothing except
physical work and little paper work. I have little time and chance
to do shipping documentation. And over
2.5 years , I have
searched thru newspapers and
online jobsites for other suitable jobs, other
than in logistics jobs. Lacking in experience ,
I have great difficulty advancing or forging a
new path.
Recently, I managed to get a job offer ,
however the pay is $200 lower than my current pay. They state that
they are only able to offer that amount since I do not have the
necessary exp in a third-party logistics company. The position is ‘
Logistics Coordinator ‘. Out of impatience and
desperation , I took up the offer. I submitted my resignation
letter and suddenly, there are many people looking for me , my
managers , supervisor and HR. One of the management approached me
and said he has me in mind when he is going to lead a SAP
committee. The company is going to have SAP , instead of the much
inefficient software system. He hoped that I can stay and help him
, meanwhile HR will keep a lookout for possible internal transfer
if there is a suitable vacancy. Stay on means that I will have to
risk waste my time doing physical work , not much value-add to
my working exp. My manager
felt that I am short-changed from the new job
offer and it wont add much value to my resume. Also , salary hard
to ‘ climb back ‘ from the new
job.
I am in a dilemma if I should took up the
new job or continue in my present job , bidding my time to find
a job that can match to my current pay ( $1600),
$1800 with OT. I try to save up as much as I can.When I first
joined this company, thought of leaving after gaining 2 years’ of
working experience for a higher
pay . Now 2.5 years later , I
have difficulty in finding a higher pay or a
same pay. I flunked my A’ level and has a private diploma in
business. Just pass my birthday , I am 27 this
year.
Haiz……… Need to find a reply after CNY .
Don’t know what to do. Hope to hear from other
forumners.

If you're a girl and your bf didn't appreciate you when you were
together with him in the past, but he only showed remorse and
regret only when you decided to dump him for a better guy. Would
you have believe him and stay at his side?
Same thing, if your company truly appreciates you as an
employee, why did they only showed appreciation for you when you
have decided to leave?
The morale of the story is, people will lie their way to hell
just because they realised that they cannot do anything without
you. If you leave your bf, he will be lost and got nobody to "那个"
already. If you left your company, then who is going to take over
your job and responsibilities in a short notice for peanuts? Even
monkeys also don't want to do your job if your company pays them
$$$$ amount worth in peanuts.
You don't have to settle for the lower paying new job, but you
must not be self-satisfied and act like a loser to crawl back to
your old company because your management rubbed you in the way that
makes you happy.
Remember! You have decided to leave this company for very
good reasons!!
Find a company who is willing to pay you better and leave this
old company.
If you don't move on when you can, are you waiting for the
company to move on and fire you when they have no further use of
your services?
People aren't in management positions by accident! They were
there because they have the experience to deal with weak and
innocent employees like you.
Please think about why you need to work in the first place! Is
it because you want to do charity and play goodwill for your
company? Or Is it because you needed money and do well in your own
career?
Learn how to think for yourself and not let other people think
on your behalf.
