2007 in Ah Geok's Department started off with 2 resignations. My dear Auntie Leng Leng will be the 3rd if she managed to sign her letter of appointment today, then I'll officially be the most senior MSO in FAC liaoz. This would translate to
1) People from all over office will be looking for me and think I can do what she has been doing for the past 6 years since I'm her 'covering officer' and the next most senior (pls hor, I'm only 1yr 7mths old lor)
2) Having to coach 2 young gals in their jobs, which I can but not quite the right person to do so (refer part in green)
3) Assist in year end closing in March for most major modules in NFS because (refer to part in green)

To avoid the above, I'll have to tender latest by 1 Feb. It'll be an easy option if I have a job offer by then. That leaves me with another 26 days.

Some of you may ask why don't I stay on first and leave when I have found a new job? I guess the answer boils down to this:

Pride vs Reality

Here's why:
Issues on pride
1) For those who have been following my entries, you would have known the disagreements between the management (namely WR) and us MSOs. So, since our advise and suggestions and concerns and threats have all fallen on deaf ears, why should I stay and help out with the closing while all others have left?
2) Since there have been an influx of new staff, it is clear that they are planning for contingencies (finally), meaning, after the year end, I'll be of no value, since the young ones would have gone through one cycle and will have one whole year to learn the ropes in anticipation of the next closing

Issues on reality
1) Since management is already aware of the fact that the MSOs who have gotten their degree will leave sooner or later, there should be no reason why we will be considered for promotion this April.
2) Following reason no. 2 from above, my contract may or may not be renewed in June after my 2-year contract is up.
3) Of course I can choose to ignore the issues on pride and endure through until I have a job offer or June, so at least I'll still be getting a salary and the performance bonus and maybe the mid year bonus, if my contract is being renewed. The downside of it all is that I'd be competing with a batch of fresh grads if leave in June lah
