Another Thing to Think About
Posted on April 5th, 2008 | by dzoi |I received an offer from my company today about the possibility of me finding a new support team here in the Philippines. There were a lot of benefits including a raise on my salary but to be honest, the benefits are the last thing that’s on my mind. I will have to lead this team, which means more responsibility and stress that I just don’t need anymore. Aside from designing round the clock, I will have to train, manage and answer support calls on my day shift. Shouldn’t be hard, really. But the fact is I’m already struggling to work at home as it is without having another task on my shoulder. It’s so hard to focus when you’re being interrupted every ten minutes. I need longer hours to be able to finish my tasks as opposed to working in an office under a strict schedule.
I’m sure there will be tons of conference meetings from now on to talk about hiring, technical and sales presentation training, salary negotiations, shift schedules and other stuff that I’d rather not think about. But I do need to think about this. If I decline, what would it say about me? If I accept, am I fit to handle a couple of people when I’m not doing very well myself?
Decisions, decisions. I need my own office badly.
