Its all about some feelings

A very strange feeling - I feel like a stranger. Being in one organization for 2 years makes me feel somehow stagnant. This is not what I have been looking for.After a period of time you seek a little more, in terms of recognition and appreciation. 

I was trying to understand why people move on?I usually heard its the growth factor that makes one to move on. Does it mean one place can not give enough opportunities to grow? I have no answer for this but yes I feel its all about depreciation value. If one be loyal, hard working, dedicated and so on, people start taking that person for granted. Specially a volatile field like mine, its, I feel, always better not to stick to one single place, then it so happened that you are taken for granted and yes, you yourself stop evaluating yourself.

And when you plan to move on, the whole situation changes, Suddenly you become the betrayer, someone who has done the worst thing ever etc etc. People avoid eye contacts & treat you as if " Og my God..you are the one who has committed the sin?" So the situation is even tricky. The whole situation becomes so that you stop feeling to be a part of the environment anymore. It becomes suffocating enough to survive. You are not being quite trusted anymore, not being a part of any important thing anymore. So you end up feeling a complete left out. I belive more or less same thing happens to almost everyone.

There are very few organization who give a happy treatment to the one who is on the way to sail to new shore, very few organizations give a happy farewell with complete appreciation of the time,energy,skill,loyalty you have invested.

Does anyone value hard work and loyalty anymore? I doubt.

i agree... i think its really stupid on part of organisations that ill-treat people who are on their way out. what about the whole contribution that they made to the company... the extra hours, efforts, blood & sweat put in??? does that account for nothing??? i really feel that such selfish organisations can never hit the big league and will always remain where they are till they change their rigid (read stupid) mindset. Infact, I think its the best time to make an employee feel valued... so that while sitting alone, his mind thinks twice... did i make the right decision? should i really leave a company that values me so much? make me feel sad that im leaving my region of comfort for an unknown world out there...
I think basic HR training is required for any leader and manager. also, being in the same organisation as you and going through similar emotions, i've realised one thing - dont think about things that make you sad, dont worry about people who are just NOT worth. life comes a full circle and we will all get what we deserve and really set out to achieve. Us leaving this place is definitely a blessing in disguise and trust me good things are just waiting to happen... as for the ones who didnt meet our expectations, well, do we really have the time to think about them??? :)
lets plan for the great future ahead! love you lots! keep the blog alive and kickin :D
