Resignation

I have tendered my resignation lately to my current employer..Quite a few things came across my mind that I couldn't really express to my boss during my exit interview that I would like to share here as the internet is the kingdom of speech freedom..

The company don't have a proper system in place for me to follow. When I first join the company, I thought this was usual as time goes by, I'll catch up too. But during my 3 months stay, I realised its quite impossible to catch up as the whole organisation isn't following any system or procedures at all. Therefore, I'm actually quite disappointed. What I was told during the interview didn't really meet my expectation.

I was told that the salary will be revised soon. But till now, its still the same. Everyone in the firm is underpaid except the top management I guess.

I was told that the firm is expanding but they were not enough laptops and equipment for staff to carry out their jobs efficiently. Proper standard working procedures are still not in place and thus it caused confusion even to senior level staff in the event of performing field work. How bad could that be to a professional practice service company?

The company do have enough qualified senior staff and the main reason is because they fail to attract with the current remuneration package they offer.

Usually the entry level staff would b college or uni grad aged between 20 to 23..Senior staff with the age from 24 to 27 and managerial staff from 28 onwards...But here its quite out of the norm that we have junior staff aged between 22 to 28. That's not a very healthy situation for a company.

Yes. I know that the problems have been addressed and changes have been proposed. It takes time to change. When I was asked about my concern..What's my concern?

My concern is of course to learn and develop skills in the shortest time possible..A manager's concern would probably be building up a falling company to prove that they are able to bring up the company from the worst position to a higher position in the market.

I wasn't unhappy here. I was actually quite happy here but I'm looking for something different. After 3 months of stay, I can't really see the progress in myself..I want to do more than just binding, stapling and photostating. I believe the company can get a person to do those job with cheaper salary offered. Therefore I choose to leave.

Although changes are implemented, but its not easy as there are forces that refuse to change in the company.

Nevertheless, I'm very thankful to my direct supervisor. I think he is a very capable man and I believe he has the ability to turn around the company. I believe greater change will come when they move forward. And I wish them all the best in their future undertakings.
