After four and half years working as a senior trainer for a call center, I turned in my resignation letter in the hope of finding opportunities to "expand my horizons." A similar position, yes, but with a fresh new perspective in a different environment.
I stayed with this company long after my friends took off to find better career opportunities for themselves. Not the type to join in the bandwagon, I waited it out until I could find a reason far more compelling than shallow discontent with the status quo.
I was not really happy about having to leave the possibilities of accomplishing many great things for the company. It wasn't about compensation concerns or the people I was working with. I felt that it was the right time to go, period.
And just as I thought there were not enough friends left at work at to email my goodbye to, I suddenly recalled the people I had brief yet meaningful interactions with: other fellow trainers, HR staff, or co-workers from operations. I realized after all, that even though my closest colleagues had been long gone I still was able to make acquaintances that had the potential to evolve into nurturing friendships.
Some four and a half great years conclude another chapter of my professional life.
