At LLLLOOONNNGGG Last AGAIN..

I resigned. Yes, AGAIN. I finally found a new job with a boutique marcomm agency to do account support and servicing.

Initially, I was really satisfied with my co, as the duties I was SUPPOSED to be doing seem interesting, and besides, the pay and the benefits were really good. The co was rather huge and had a decent reputation, so on the surface, and there really seems nothing to complain about.
Well, as most of you probably already know the only and also happens to be the BIGGEST problem with the job was, I had literally NOTHING to do.

Nobody knows what my boss had in mind when he hired me, and my boss on the other hand feels that there isn’t a need to clearly specify my job scope and neither did he want to let me handle anything "big" as he feels that I’m inexperienced.

Which really made me wonder then why in the first place did he hire me knowing that I do not have relevant experience??

Well, my team leader on the other hand, would occupy me with certain small tasks from time to time and he too does not give me anything major to do, as he does not want to interfere with whatever plans my boss MAY have for me.

This of course lead to me hanging around the office everyday surfing the net for nine whole hours and taking extended toilet breaks just to pass time. I kept hoping and telling myself that things will change for the better the time I was there but as months passed, I gave up hope.

I have been here for FOUR WHOLE MONTHS already and things are still THE SAME. The only thing my boss EVER ask me to do are really lame stuff which I really cannot help feeling is an insult to my intelligence.

Even to the day I planned and ultimately tendered my resignation, he still had in mind to get me to take on one of the lame "projects" that he had been asking me to do all these months.

I was indeed right on my decision to leave. To think I actually thought of staying and hoping things would get better.

Seriously, its hard to get started to do anything serious if you had a boss who feels that he cannot trust you to do anything substantial because of your inexperience.

Although I know that I could have stayed and try to convince him otherwise and prove myself, but getting us started somewhere is going to take another substantial amount of time and I seriously do not wish to waste anymore of my time. My brain, my morale and self confidence was slowly but surely wasting away already.

Anyways. I’m looking forward to my few days break, and I hope the new job would really allow me to develop other skills than lazing around.
