Resignation

There comes a time in your career, when all the work you do mean nothing to you. No matter how highly you are regarded or how lowly are you treated, you just get fed up with the people and things around you.

Same is my case. Though i am not fed up with the people around me, i definitely am fed up with my work and more so with the quotidian routine that the work has created in my life.

2 years ago, everyday when i get up there was an enthusiasm to get to work, to learn new things, to do something. Now when i get up, the first thought that comes to my mind is to bunk office. What is the difference between the two jobs?

One was a startup and the other a MNC. The work ethos and atmosphere in both the places are as alike as Gandhi and Hitler. But even with this, if the work i currently am doing were to be of some interest to me, guess this difference would not have mattered.

I lost interest in the work given to me in less than 5 mins into it. I knew it was not my cup of tea, but i had no choice. This was the only thing i had to do. Lack of resources and abysmal management practices has led to a rather high attrition rate here.

Also, i have a contract of 2 years to deal with. After struggling for 21 months with no idea of what lays ahead of me, i cannot take it anymore. I have reached the limit of my frustration and anger. I have finally decided to quit the current job and go back to the world that was so dear to me. Sometimes when you give up on something, you realize the true value of it.

So now, i need to go back and start from scratch and develop all the skills and techniques that i once learnt as well as some new ones and enter the world of web development with a fresh attitude and a clear mind.

Deadlines are effective way of getting things done, I had never set myself any actual deadline or end date for this torturous journey so now i am going to do just the same. I have decided to quit the company on March 29th or before no matter what position i am in. Even if i have not prepared myself enough or i do not have any other job offer, i do not care. I am quitting.
