Question of the day: 'Will I stay?'
I am grateful to be given the opportunity to learn the ropes of an inhouse HR and I do want to return the favor to the people who groomed me. Two years was the minimum duration I gave myself and I am just five months away from this timeline. Wow, time flies.
At the sixth month point in my current company, I was really bent on leaving after two years because of the never-ending pressure of recruitment. I had it rough, pulled through the tough time, and it is fruitful when I looked at the report now. Mini accomplishment, but huge 'yay!' in my heart. Though I am still loving what I am currently doing, it is difficult to foresee myself learning more functions of a HR generalist with the current manpower. How can we afford job rotation when everyone is fully maxed out?
Well, other than this, I can say that my workplace is fantastic (and I do like working in this industry, related to healthcare). Amazing team I am working with, supportive boss, awesome colleagues, I cannot ask for more to have all these. Most of them are so real, not the kind whom exaggerate or trying to put a front, and I am really glad to be more than just colleagues. Making friends out from a workplace is common, but having the feel that you can really go a long way with them? It is rare.
Thinking back when I was in my ex-company, there were points in my life whereby I was stuck with this thought. The deciding point was perhaps a tinge of jealousy and under-appreciation which then made me dislike what I love, hating the job entirely. Going to work has become a chore and then before I realized it, I was dreading to go work. Maybe this was another passing point in my life, but the opportunity came. I believe that 'everything happens for a reason', and here I am, in the industry which I wanted to be in and a company that is prospering through the pandemic crisis. What will happen if I took up the IT MNC role instead?
Here I am, back at the crossroad again. To leave or to stay on?
