slosh down the pepper!

I am cooking a bowl of ‘rhapsody’ in the dark!

I believed that I had thought it through and will stay in the Tiger's belly till perhaps the bonus month, which is end September next year, or at least after my probation. Besides, I am also looking forward to my leave days planned for this first half of the year. Just when I had finally decided to stay in the company longer, my ex-colleague smsed me. She told me that her company is hiring, and she could forward me the contact details if I want them. Ah. That roused my peace again.

Unlike most other organizations, the notice period for any resigning staff, be it under probation or not, is still one full month (others do with 1 to 2 weeks notice). And the most hated part of it all is that the staff must repay all benefits and leaves utilized if he/she leaves the company during the 6 months probationary period! I have taken one-day leave on 10 August, another one scheduled on 26 October, and 3 days planned for Christmas. My probation will be over by end December, so that means my confirmation will probably come only in January 2008. If I resign in January, I pay back zero dollars. If I resign now, I must pay back 1 day's worth of leave. What's worse is that if I resign in December, I have to pay back 5 days' worth of leave! That's equivalent to 25% of my salary!

Evil people.

Still, I do hope to get the position in my ex-colleague's company, even though it's probably only for a contract period of 6 months.

And many great thanks to Tempest who helped me with my resume.
