Hi Mal, not sure if you have already mentioned this elsewhere, but I wanted to ask you, how did you go about informing your manager about your decision to move back?malcontent wrote: ↑Thu, 25 Jul 2024 6:54 amNow that I have officially submitted my letter of resignation for the end of this year, things are getting real.
I'd be surprised it not although he goes back a lot
California would probably be a culture shock for many Americans, but I don’t think I am experiencing that. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced true culture shock in my life. I might just be weird that way. I think it’s just such a huge move, not supported by my company, the distance is so far, the expenses are so great - it’s a little overwhelming.
Thanks! Being in a management position indeed is a massive advantage compared to being an individual contributor at the bottom level, like me. I am sure your employer should be able to easily find a role for you in the US, you are just too valuable for the company. All the best and keep us posted.malcontent wrote: ↑Tue, 24 Sep 2024 5:27 amThe situation I’m in and the company I work for are not typical and may not apply to others. Yes, I only need to give 1 month advanced notice… I could do that. However, for someone that has over 27 years of service, is in a management position and doesn’t want to leave the company… it would be poor taste to not give advance notice, if able. Keep in mind too, I am actively seeking a position in the U.S. with the same company and have an interview later this week. If I can get a cush position that pays well, why not? It’d be an extra layer of security and it’d be something interesting to do.
I’m now on my 3rd week in the U.S. and it’s incredible how dreaming it and doing it are so different. I am definitely not feeling any great satisfaction from it yet. It took me two weeks just to find the right chairs for our kitchen island. We are going to exchange the beds we bought for new ones later this week, and we still don’t have a sofa or any other furniture.
