I submitted my resignation about a week ago. I didn't put any reasons for my "irrevocable" resignation. Why? I didn't want my superiors to adjust to those reasons and I will be obliged to stay because of that.
However, when I talked to our HR manager, she asked me what my grievances are. And thinking that I should at least share it before I leave the company, I told her. I said that the schedule they are giving me is just impossible. Four and sometimes five consecutive classes with no interruptions. How can I deliver well? Well, I was able to deliver, true... But I wanted to give my students quality classes and sensible reports. I am very perfectionist when it comes to having the job done and I feel that I can deliver better if I am given a manageable schedule.
A meeting was called among my superiors. They discussed about my impending resignation. And they learned about my grievance. Then they asked if my schedule was adjusted, would I stay? But I still have another issue. I don't feel like I'm paid enough.
I receive the same amount as some of my colleague who have less workload than me. They said that my assignment to a new account which requires more qualification is actually a promotion. That should have somehow set me apart from the rest. Not that I am being a braggart. I just feel that I am under appreciated. One former colleague even quit because of the demands of the account that we are both handling. And she's handling only one third the number of the students that I have. Imagine??? She was getting more than what I am getting!
Call me inconsistent but the closer I get to the date of the effectivity of my resignation, the harder it gets for me to let go of the job. My students, whom I have learned to love, are so hard to leave. And there's a proposition to adjust my schedule and lessen my load and negotiate for a raise. So I am staying. For now...
Promises. I'm holding on to them at the moment. I will give a time lag of two weeks to see if these promises would materialize. And until then, I will keep this thought on my mind, "Why is it so hard to let go?" Or is it really?
