I knew I couldn’t secure the full-time job as I was being too frank in my initial interview.
Judging from what my boss said to me, it seems that she wanted to offer the job to someone within her department as the PSG (pay scale group) is higher. Well, you could have offered me a lower PSG, as I don’t even care about it. Because ultimately, I should be rewarded only when it’s worth it right?
Many people have come up to me to express their concerns and shock. All I can say is “good luck to the new person onboard”. My relationship with many colleagues there were good, most of them are happy about the way I work and getting the work done. With my technical background, I am able to think about what can be done or what can’t.
But now it gets even weirder… My boss has been speaking / meeting up with me with lots of relevant work-related issues more than my past 5 months there. I don’t know what she’s thinking, but it doesn’t really matter anymore anyway. Saying things like “I received good feedbacks about your working here” doesn’t going to change your mind and hire me anyway. The interviewing panel has already decide the person coming over, so I will definitely welcome this person with open arms.
But, this new person is not going to do my job. Funny as it can be, this new person is going to do an existing person’s job. For some odd reason that is… I mean, I went for the interview knowing that I’m going to secure a full-time job doing MY job, not someone else’s job. I wonder how this new person is going to feel knowing that she came in doing something else out of the job scope offered to her when she saw this ad.
But nonetheless, I hope my boss knows what she is doing. Ultimately, if you cannot get the person to perform, the person also can get sacked, which won’t be nice in the resume. That’s why I would prefer to work as a contract or a part-time basis, where I cannot be sacked. I will leave only when contract ends.
So, my contract dues on 31 Dec 2008, I will need more time to prepare what I need to hand over to whoever is going to do my job.
Good luck all, and good luck me in finding another job.
