the second exodus.

another employee in my workplace has resigned. haiz, this is the second round of exodus this year. first it was the technical department, and now it's the project managers who are quitting en masse.

yet again, i am having mixed sentiments. i feel glad for those who left, as i believe they can better realize their potential elsewhere, be paid their worth and possibly be happier, yet those who left are colleagues who are closer to me and add interesting temperaments to an already dull office landscape further exacerbated by rock-bottom morales.

it is surprising that a simple status update on facebook related to this resignation generated so much positive, encouraging comments whereby some commenter were actually at the point of applauding the manager for boldly stepping out into the light and away from the dark side.

as i was talking to a colleague on msn, i was saying that the temperaments of the current office environment is not beneficial to me. the office is heavily populated by signs that are not compatible with me, and i'm like the sole fire sign around (i'm sagittarius btw). new colleagues that came in are undoubtedly always capricorn, taurus, cancer, probably virgo or pisces. that sucks!!

fire signs don't seemed to last long here. the next compatible signs are air signs: aquarius (i simply cannot stand them!), gemini (none are around) and libra (some are around but i have generational gaps with all of them!).

haiz. when will it be my turn to join the exodus?
