Resignation, a word that makes people miss a heartbeat. It is not an easy decision to make, especially for people who are married and live an EMI based life. But still, an average resignation that this country receives everyday is close to 3000; this indicates the scope and opportunity that India offers.
Companies are working hard in reducing the attrition rate but they are underestimating the opportunities that are available for a job seeker. Web portals like Naukri, TimesJobs, Monster etc are adding almost 25,000 unique visitors every month and the number is surely going to increase with Internet reaching rural India.
I have had an experience of resigning only once but have seen a lot of resignation letters because of my colleagues who have moved to a different company either for a better designation or a better work life. It’s been a year for me in my current company and all the people with whom I became friends have moved out (or on the verge of moving out). My lunch sessions, which used to be full of gossip gossip has turned into plain vanilla session of eating food (and missing old ones).
There has to be a good reason for an employee to put down papers - something that companies need to realize. No one likes to get out of his or her comfort zone and change a company over micro issues. A workplace is like a second home and the people with whom we interact are no less than family members. And when family separates, it not only makes the house empty but also curbs the enthusiasm of the remaining members.
Resignation is not an end; it’s a beginning of a new fight. I miss my friends (call them my ex-colleagues or my family) and hope they accomplish all the goals they have set in their life and make it big.
Athio sas. I Resign - yet I Remain!
