The Quiet After the Storm
Things have quieten down. Towards the weekend, NN gave me a list of 9 tasks to complete before I am relieved of my duties.
Part of his list asked me to compile a report about why I felt the software was not ready. I was taken aback. Why would he still want those reasons, especially if he feels that my decision had been made out of emotional duress?
Still, the end is in sight and is indeed a blessing. I estimate I should have everything completed by the end of this week if not earlier. Some of the documents I have completed haven’t been reviewed yet, so I’m hoping that won’t slow things down.
Monday went relatively smoothly, and SL does not appear to be aware of my impending departure yet. I don’t feel I owe him an explanation, except out of courtesy, but I will leave that to NN.
Slowly, my concerns will move towards the future job prospects instead of this current scrape. Its still a competitive market out there and I can imagine that for every position I qualify for, there will be hundreds of other applicants. So far, these are advertised positions, so competition is to be expected.
Given the uncertainty with RM at this time, I will not approach personal contacts until I have completed the necessary formalities in RM. So far, I’m quite sure that NN will not react if I join anyone else other than GN.
