any update on your decision? boss refuse to budge?
Thanks for the concern! We managed to resolve it
slightly.
The story is that my contract is ending soon, but those guys up
there did not give a damn to talk to me early and think that I will
extend my contract with them for that poor measly pay and
environment. So they did my appraisal last Friday and gave me
peanuts on Monday.
Off course, I respond with monkeys. I don't want to renew. I
guess IT (the manager) must have panic and gave me those weird
terms to tie me down and not let me go. I don't mind extending for
a month, but they are just like shit and very scheming with the
terms in the contract, so I rather leave. IT started some
arguments, heated debates and tried to force me to a corner.
I just let IT have the way (notice the way I term the person),
but without me agreeing to anything. I went up to find damn upstair
person and talk it over to let me go, gracefully. If they need some
time to get replacement and have a proper handover, I will stay for
an additional few days. I understand that they will need to
So we settled for an extension of 2 weeks so that I can hand
over the docs/codes etc to the new engineers, pity my colleagues to
handle what I have completed over the months.
Yup, a nice graceful ending I hope, but doubt it will be clean
with IT.
