Resigning is not the easiest thing to do…

It all depends on where you’re coming from and if legal circumstances doesn’t prohibit you. I mean, if you are working for a really bad company, it is as easy as going to your Manager, giving him the resignation paper, walking out of the room with a smile on your face. But if you love your job, enjoy doing what you are doing, having fun at the same time, then it takes a lot of courage to walk into your Managers’ office. I’ve been trying to hold it off for as long as I could but it needs to be done. I spent days and nights thinking of what to do, how would they react and how would I respond to their reactions, and if I’d come out of the Managers’ office alive after I tell him and dissapoint him with my resignation. Not only that, my Direct Supervisor was in Rome, so it’s either I wait for her to come back to Bahrain in a week’s time or is it ethical enough to tell her by phone. Arrrgghhh! I talked to my Manager last Sunday and talked to my Direct Supervisor by phone yesterday. I came out alive. I did it. It is not easy, I tell you. Knowing that people expect something from you, that they depend on you and then tell them that you are leaving, is not easy especially if nothing is wrong with your job. But life is life, ces’t la vie, life goes on, etc… My Manager even told me, if he found out that I didn’t accept the job being offerd to me in Qatar, he’ll fire me even. That made me feel a bit better, knowing that my Manager understands my situation and that he supports my decision somehow. Thanks. XXX
