Experience in MNC after Placing Resignation.

Me : “ So now you know, I want to resign, my decision is firm”

She : “ Well, if you have decided then I can’t comment anything. Even after telling you all these things also if u want to resign I wld only say All The Best to u. But then search a guy who stays in Bombay and don’t look guys here in Pune for marriage."
(What? did I hear the right words? What crap!! In the middle of resignation letter discussion, such topic can also come? Well – here in this place you can’t say anything. U only need to listen to all sorts of crap things coming your way.)

Me : “ Ye, u r rite. Will do accordingly. I will convey this message to my parents.”

She : “ No, tell them today itself”

Me : “ Yes, will do.”

And some wild guesses those came out at a very instance when I put my letter on the desk –
1. “ R u getting married?” (Though I had written clearly the cause as – ‘for better opportunities’ )

2. “ I know you are placing resignation because you have Boy Friend in Bombay” (Well, people all around me in the office including she, know that my parents are searching groom for me n above question was asked before this one!!!)

3. “ Don’t search groom in Pune now” (As if I will commit a serious crime if I search groom from Pune!! May be I ll get death sentence – hang till death!! )

Can you imagine these kind of questions being asked in an MNC # 2 in fortune 500 when it comes to rank? I am missing the great Mr. Thomas Alva Edison who while starting this firm would have had many dreams associated with it and then Mr. Jack Welch who had worked hard and always had Employee benefits at the priority.

In all, after every thing said and done for an hour, as the ego was hurt, no one wanted to stop me saying we need you but rather wanted me to stay back showing how wrong my decision was. Not only this but many other aspects were also discussed – which were no way related to my career & reason to leave!!! What an organisation!! I think They didn't even understand the importance of career. They being an MNC considered that no one can actually leave them for career purpose cause there would not be anything better than this place when it comes to comparison. How immature people who consider themselves at senior level support to organization!!! I have pity on them.

This was the reason for me to leave this place. I didn’t find intellectual people here who would actually have ever thought of the things maturely. They were just that – egoistic & selfish and interested in gossiping.

I used to stay isolated from these people because I never found the topic which could be discussed with them on intellectual level.

Rather the topics which they used to discuss were something like - "Have u seen blah blah blah heroin of that serial - she was looking very cute yesterday." or something like : "Hey.. I missed that serial - what happened yesterday, did she kill him? "

Anyway, Why am I discussing these things here? But wanted to express this irritation somewhere.

And finally, I have been given loads of work which I need to complete by today itself. I am in no mood to work. And why should I really? This is just that – I can’t tolerate it anymore!!
But good – this has made me more focused and determined towards my decision to leave. Nothing can stop me from leaving this place now. I had lost the faith earlier only but I have lost the respect as well….
