I am a SLAVE...

That's why I am still lucky to have this kind of job. Regardless, I am still hunting for a new job.

@Lignitecityabishek96 Thanks for your encouragement. I need that.

@Shavkat Keep hunting. You will get a good job soon. All the best.

I noticed that since the covid came many more people want to have their own business, it is a good suggestion.

@topffer a lot of people discovered their real talents and interests I guess during the hard lockdowns and being away from the office and their natural daily routines made a lot of people realize that they are worth much much more if they put their time, effort and talents for themselves rather than for somebody else. The pandemic also forcibly plucked people away from their comfort zones and made them realize that there is no such thing as job security even if you are employed in a well established and lucrative company so there was or is still an urge to put things in their own hands where they had more control in an unforeseen and uncontrollable situation. I already forsaw what I'm saying decades before the pandemic

@louievill I like your suggestion. I would love to have my own business. However, it is not the right time because of our current situation.

I do not like that, too. Sometimes some bosses are so arrogant when it comes to this point.

@Shavkat Are you talking about my BOSS?

@cherigucchi Both of our bosses.

I hope so. The companies that I applied for are so tight with their requirements.

@DaddyEvil That's quite nerve-racking for the employees.

@Shavkat I understand. I'm waiting until the first of December to put in applications because companies will be looking for people to cover Christmas rush. They normally keep good employees after Christmas.

It's a long story. I took a long vacation due to sickness. Then, when I came back, they just lowered my rate, despite the medical certificates and all.

Don't be worried. I am still trying to figure out what to do next.

@nela13 Thank you.

@Shavkat good luck.

I can relate to you with this concern. It is really a struggle to be in this situation now. I hope I can able to find a replacement soon or rather the soonest.

I can do this before the pandemic. Now, it is a bit struggle.

That's the sad part and exactly what I am feeling right now. It seems like they do not value my service with them through the years.

I am glad that you can dig into my current situation now.

It sounds like you are a hard worker.

@Shavkat Yes, I've been in this job for two years.Then I went to Beijing, which is the capital of China. There are more and better job opportunities in Beijing, and the environment is more suitable for my growth. I can work eight hours a day, I can have weekends, I can enjoy five kinds of insurance benefits, I can have legal holidays, and my life is getting better and better.

@zhangxueying Yes, I know Beijing. I heard there are so many opportunities there. I am so familiar with your country because I had worked in Guangdong province and Hong Kong before.

I do agree with that. I will resign if I found a new one.
