Spoke with my Boss today... Please prepare for a possible wall of text.
Boss: (Sits on a chair beside me) About your letter... I have read it.
Me: Yeah?
Boss: Are you sure about leaving?
Me: You're kidding, right?
Boss: What do you want me to do?
Me: What can you possibly offer me to convince me to stay and work for your company?
Boss: What you mean? I gave you many opportunities!
Me: *Facepalm* Here we go... What kind of opportunities do you mean, exactly? The fact that my performance is only based on a constantly increasing renewal percentage I cannot obtain, and you saying that I am "exempt" from it Is not an opportunity; It's an excuse to make me feel guilty, and I'm tired of it.
I've worked for you for five years. I've rarely been absent, and hardly been late for work. I've never gone on vacation, but on the rare chance I did want to go on vacation, to Japan, even... I was denied of it. The reason? The Japanese Embassy didn't want to put a stamp on my passport because I was working for an "unstable" company... Your company. I had everything ready, mind you. Saving up at least one hundred thousand pesos is not an easy task but I did it, even after you LOWERED my salary.
Nowadays, I've been suffering from back pains, slight fever and an upset stomach. The reason for that? Your new policy does not allow me to even stay home until I fully recover. Only one sick leave per month? Once a month max? What kind of policy is that? Now, regarding my recent poor performance...
Boss: You don't call your students!
Me: I'm sorry? Didn't you hear what I said earlier? I WAS SICK. Have you ever tried calling up and talking to people for five hours straight while you're suffering from a bad back, a fever, and stomach problems? No? Well, I went through that and what thanks do I get? A slap on the shoulder by my supervisor to wake me up and to be told "Why you not call your students!?" That was not very considerate, and was totally not motivating.
Boss: ....
Me: I asked for a copy of my contract with this company and a copy of the personnel policies specifically related to my sick and vacation leave and I never received anything. I don't even know if I'm getting my other benefits. Way to take care of your employees. The only reason I'm still here is because that document I signed that doesn't even resemble a contract requires me to stay for thirty days until the date of my resignation...
Now, I ask you again: What can you possibly offer me to convince me to stay and work for your company? Oh, and please make it quick because I have to call up a student in five minutes.
Boss: .... (Quietly stands up and leaves the room)
Me: .... Time to post that in RR!
