Engineer......Goodbye

Today is my third day being an engineer, although I had mentally prepared for the negative comments, but guess I am not well prepared. When I was promoted to senior engineering assistant last year, alot of people were unhappy about it because they feel its too fast. I worked my ass off wanting to prove that I am worth it. For 8 months, I worked almost 7 days a week till I almost collapse... I proved to my boss that he didn't make the wrong choice in promoting me and he promoted me again when there is a vacancy this year. But I was wrong, now that I am promoted again, the negative feedback was worst... It much more than I could handle.

Everyone worked hard hoping for promotion, pay rise and better life. So what did I do wrong?? My promotion did not caused anyone to be demoted or suffer a pay cut. Ask yourself you people out there, if you were offered a promotion or a pay raise, would you reject it??

After 3 days into my promotion, here am I typing my resignation letter.... Maybe its wrong to work hard and outshine others. I should have just walked the same pace as others... Everyone has dreams..maybe to some, its just a job but to me its more than just a job. My interest in engineering, a place for me to find back my confident and a promise I made......

I am giving myself till end of this month hoping things will settle down. I'm going to work with my resignation letter in my bag everyday. Will tender anytime if I can't take it.

hey hey, dun give up just becoz of someone else remarks. Comments from people will always makes someone stronger. I have learn to grow in the hard way. you cant please every single one around you. By tendering, you are just showing them that what they said abt you is right. After all you have put in so much effort, so much time, so much energy into your job, and be recognised by your bosses, & get promoted is what you deserve. so dun give up.. stop thinking of tendering your resignation, cos i know how u feel now. Think carefully before you
make the wrong step okies...

Hi Jiahui,

Your name seems familiar but I just couldn't recall. Yes, its hard giving up after all the hard work I've put in achieving all these but what can I do?? No matter what I do, I am always wrong.
