Work Crisis

Our company which was consider as a Titanic in the IT industry in our country has just hit an iceberg. Ever since the 9/11 attacked on the Twin Towers our company has never been the same. We are losing clients left and right, and the turn-over of people resigning are very high. There are at least 2 to 3 people moving to greener pasture every month. My wife is among those people who will be moving on to another company this coming July.

I, on the other hand have some reservations. I have been with the company for almost 8 years and I'm very much comfortable with my daily routine. I was there when the company experience abundance in clients and revenues. Now, in its most desperate times I wish that we could bounce back. Or it is just wishful thinking.

To be totally honest, I'm a little bit scared of moving-on to another company. I'm afraid of adjusting again to a new set of people that I don't know, assign to a project that I don't like, working hours that has no end, project managers that are too damn demanding, blah, blah, blah...

But then again, I have endured 3 years of no mid-year bonuses that resulted in a lot of debt. And now they have announced a suspension of our yearly increase in salary. Wow, talk about tightening your belt. Currently I'm surfing the Net looking for a job that best suit my skills in Oracle Applications. If I'm single I would not consider resigning, but as a father, instinct tells me that my child will have to come first. I have several prospect, I just need to update my resume and send it online instead of updating this blog. Hehehehe.....

For now I really need to take a break. Maybe I could convince my wife to watch a movie after work. Superman Returns is now showing.

Ok, that's it for now. My life's adventure To Be Continue.....
