I have been neglecting my blog since Sept 17...
By right today shall be my last day with Rigel.. but due to some unforeseen circumstances... I decided to stay on and give up the other offer.
Many of you may ask why... I have to choose between 2 and ultimately the best offer for myself.
To be honest, i am expecting my second baby now... I found out 2 weeks ago and was already in a dilemma then. I wrote an email to my new boss to pre-alert him and he called me the very night and wanted to meet up for a face to face talk. I agreed.
On the other hand, my close colleagues knew about my issue too... they kept persuading me to stay on since situation had changed.. My big boss knew about it and was ok for me to stay on despite i had handed in the letter. So now, i am left with the final decision.
Met up with the other boss last Thursday and have a talk. Though i have pre alert him prior to my interview about family planning. He had no issues too. Being a parent himself. He welcome the idea. I was hopeful. We went straight to the point and yes... He mentioned due to the situation had changed, he; for now cant offer a perm position for me. Instead he will offer me a contract position, renewable every 3 months, no staff benefits. With this... i really had to think hard.. I went back and starting to think of all pros and cons and also discuss with HC too.. He didnt like the idea of me travelling and walking in to a distance.. So he was totally hands up for me to stay put in Rigel. With proper thinking, i decided to stay on and rejected the offer over at the new place.
For now, i can only be thankful to my current boss.
