Half Hearted

Shopping, eat in expensive restaurants, coffee in starbucks, movie dates, bar hopping, these are the things that I personally enjoy. Wonder how can I afford to spend much money on these?

I am working as a technical support representative somewhere in Ortigas. Never did I imagine that I'll be a part of this industry because after graduation, I see my self working in an office environment doing administrative works. Anyway, I'm happy with what I have right now and the joy it gives you when you get to treat your family with your own money is just incomparable.

Good compensation comes with great responsibilities and hard work. You don't get paid to do nothing. For some, they think that taking in calls is an easy job to do. Maybe they're right, you just have to talk with your customers then that's it, easy money! But personally, I guess they're wrong. You don't just sit and talk in the office, you are also susceptible to stress. You stay all night working while others are in deep sleep. At some point you would have to sacrifice your social life.

Recently, sudden changes just happened with the company that I work with. Huge volume of calls, new targets or should I say high targets, new management and on top of that, I now belong to a new team (I transfered to a new team lead). Things in our center, if would describe it, went from bad to worst. Some agents weren't able to adopt with these changes and some weren't able to hit the new target. Most of these agent are not anymore related to the company.

For the past few days I've thinking hard for something that would make a huge change in my life. I have been thinking of leaving my present company and move to a another where I could get what I truly need and that is growth. It's been a year and a half already that I started working as technical support agent. I can still remember the day I first step in the glass doors, full of dreams and ambition. Dreams that I know will be very hard for me to achieve and ambitions that I really need to work hard.

But of course, leaving my first job is a tough decision to do. I saw a lot of job openings that offers good compensation and career growth. But still I may need to consider few things that will happen as soon as a leave. I will be asking help from few people who could give me good advise regarding this. I just hope I will choose the right decision.
