Freeeeeeeeedom!!

(I couldn't help thinking about Mel Gibson's blue face when I typed that header)

I slapped my resignation letter on my boss's desk on Wednesday, and I couldn't feel better about it. I've finally quit after I first said I "didn't intend to stay for long" about a year ago. So you can say that my resignation is one year overdue. But my reasons back then were different from what they are now. Noting that this is a blog for anyone to freely read, it's probably not a good idea delve into the specifics of my reason for leaving. Suffice to say I've had it right up to here.

Intense workload aside, it had been an enjoyable job with lots of potential. However, it's never easy to navigate around Someone who maintains a bias against you through no fault of your own. Some may say it was bad luck, but I think it's just the nature of Someone that attracted a rojak of ass-kissing, back-stabbing, favouritism, hypocrisy and standoffs that resulted in me being caught in a crossfire. In any case, this is a really ridiculous amount of politicking in such a tiny company (there're seven of us currently, including 2 directors). I realised not matter how much effort I put in, no matter how much I try to ignore Someone, no matter how well I produce, I'll never come to anything here because Someone doesn't want me to.

I'm really not used to be prejudiced against. If anything, I'm more used to blending in with the wallpaper than being pressed down by biases. Hence, it totally mystifies me that someone can have it against me. For what? I've no idea. A product of Someone's biased nature I suppose, which manifests in every aspect of Someone's life anyway.

Hence, I'm outta here as soon as I humanly can. I'll leave the rest of them to their politics while I enjoy a well-deserved break.
