why move ??

as i enquire about my remaining leave days, the hr girl asked me, why do you want to leave ? not that i'm very close to her, but within these 2 months since the VSS and takeover, there have been over 30 resignations. for a company now left with 200+ people, this figure represent more than 10%.

there have been of change in protfolios and increase in workload (as expected), but there's also a change in the climate, culture and unseen structures torn down. without new directions from new CEO and HOD, work goes on, with much uncertainty. there are still rumours of retrenchment going round.

for myself, it's to move on to a cutting edge company with huge potential for growth. it's run by people who value talent more than bottom line (this is not to say the botton line is not important, they have targets and incentives when financial targets are met).

it helps that i've worked with them before and know the culture and expectation
