I have talked to my mother (which was very important for me to convince her and take her opinion) and my brother. I have told them all the conditions that I am in, I know my capacity and I cannot manage with this schedule in the office, moreover its office politics that's bugging me more. I have talked to my team lead about the duties and the unfair treatment and discrimination between me and the other colleagues but he doesn't get it. Money is not an issue for me and my family is supportive alhamdulillah. Now what I am left with is to email my Manager about it, giving him two options, either remove one of my night shift or accept my resign as I cannot take it anymore at all.
My plan is to complete my CCNP, do the concepts thoroughly and leave for Dubai on 3 month's visa and find a job over there. I hope I can find job in these 3 months or I will go again for 3 months. My family is already in Dubai Alhamdulillah so I want to be with them and not alone rotting in hell here. My office is kind of place where I am alone all the time. So its loneliness at the office and at home and then there is crap I have to eat from outside.
I have had enough and I can't take it anymore. What is the use of this telecom experience when I don't even want to work in this field anymore? I hope my CCNP cert and command over the subject would land me at least an entry level job in a reputable humanitarian organization where we are at least offered tea in the office and not left on our own in the nights shifts, eid, sehri and iftari.
I have learned my lesson working in this organization that will surely help me in future inshAllah, a few extracts
- No colleague is your brother and they are just there to use you one way or another, just be aware and watch you back,
- It doesn't matter how honest you're to your organization, to your boss. Its the politics that wins every time.
- When your time is over for a company, you will know it the very moment.
- Never make a company your home, gather what you can and leave for good.
- NEVER go for shift job, even if you're working in 9-5 job where you have to sit a little late and get 2 days off is thousand times better than job that disturbs your internal clock, your routine and when the world is sitting at home and enjoying eid and you're sitting in office. The thing that makes sense is, you're working when everyone is working, you're home when everyone is supposed to be at home and sleep when you have and the way it has to be.
