today i received a jaw-dropping news - one of my colleagues resigned!
ok i know she's not happy with what's she doing now *believe it or not, me too~* but it's really very sudden to accept, esp she's been a great support to all executives. moreover, hr team is very small, though we support thousands headcount.. every one of us is very stretched, one resignation will mean double stretching on the other. everyone of us are burning out, in fact it's just a competition of final flicker~
then it dawn upon me.. when will mine be snuff out. ok, i like to work, but i also came to realise i've been working 12hrs x 5days x 12weeks.. that's 3 full months of 720hrs straight~ (excluding those wkends when i returned to office).. i do like the diversity of my scope now, but somehow this diversity is getting weighing me down. it's cos of my great team mates that i managed to keep upbeat at work... but now..
let's face it.. i know no mate stays in the same job forever but it's hard to find a great team mate, a friend and a supporter, or even a good counsellor. i've been through resignations before, but this is the first time i know i'd really miss my colleague.. it's strange that i really enjoy working with her.. then again, it's normal cos she's really a natural 'people' person - thoughtful, professional and fun-loving.
sigh... back to reality, her resignation will mean more work than what i'm managing now.. as if my 12hr per day is not enough.. i might as well live in office~ *honestly if another colleague decided to snap, i'll surely resign the next day too - without a doubt* speaking of longER hours, i better take my leave before i really snap when she leaves, and the work is 'shared'..
