His diary read 'I think I lost my mind. I think I stopped thinking.'
And he really meant it. He works for a big MNC. Joined just 6 months back. His company is THE market leader in its space. Has a cool n creative job, tools development on a web application server. New development projects and still not into maintainance. Nice job,Nice sal and happy environment !!!.
Then the problem started. The problem was there was no REAL problem.Not so understanding manager is every one's problem. Yet started getting frustated for every small thing. When his frustration was at its peak, one of his friend called him to have a casual chat.They chatted about everything and one such was life at the friends office.He was mentioning abt the party coming up and all the fun they are having. TO keep the conversation going he asked his friend to forward his resume to his group. After an yes, the conversation turned to another subject. He too lost himself in his world.
In three days he got an interview call.Without thinking about the repurcussions , he attended the interview and got an offer. Though the offer is not great and the work is going to be in maintainance for time being, he was happy that we will be under a more understanding manager.
Now the real problem starts.
His heart asks him to quit and join the new company. His mind advices to adjust and stay,for things will be better here in future. Being a south indian, he too believes that every one has problems and problems are the stepping stone for success. He is one guy who read a lot of self help books. He is one guy who know howw to motivate hinself when things are not in his favour. He is one guy who got things only because of hard work.He thought that he knew when to think from heart and when from mind. So the soln looked simple for him.
Yet he told his boss that he quits.Though he is not convinced of the reason. The Manager is not convinced. Its more than a week they are talking and still no conclusion. He is not telling any strong reason why he is quitting(wonder he has) and the manager is not ready to leave a employee whose productivity in last 6 months is more than most of the senior members of the team. Today the manager escaleted the issue to the director.
Tomorrow he is meeting his director for the first time.

Saka,
Never knew his scenario is so very serious. Hope he comes out of this unscathed. It is always dangerous when manager is not interested in releaving. But I wish a sincere heart-felt Good Luck to him. I have a good borrowed statement: MAY THE FORCE BE WITH HIM
is "he" u ??
Its the twists and turns that make life interesting isnt it !!! so did HE meet his director and get any answer. Difficult to take certain decisions. If HE asks me I will say go ahead to new job , for once the thought of leaving has come then , staying there will be tough , that to under the same manager ....... what say saka ,
