New Opportunity

I haven't been comfortable with my work lately. I feel like every time i go there, the world is weighing over my shoulder. It developed to the point where i have utterly isolated myself from the surrounding atmosphere. I walk in there, say hi and not say a word until i leave or, unless someone approaches me for a certain inquiry, that's where i reply with so much little utterance of words. Even my best friends, i neglected them, shamefully.
The situation became quite nasty for me, that even my mental and physical health, is going backwards.

I developed this feeling right after some eye-opening incidents that took place couple of months ago. I found out that couple of my co-workers gossip quite alot actually. You know, This girl's tramp, That girl's here for men, This girl is morally decayed, that girl back talks, that kinda talk. And even guys, unfortunately, started doing the same thing by delivering what they hear to the others or to the outside which only adds gas to fire.
It even got to the point where they started forming parties! Party A does not get along with party B. If a member of party A befriends with a member of party B then he's doomed for life! It got me really lost here! Now who should i befriend!!

That's why i decided that the time has come for me to take the most important decision in my career, and that is ask to be transferred to branches. Mainly because working over the phone became stressful and pretty demanding in terms of how much can i market and sell. The selling target is imposing too much pressure on me, and i don't think i can make it with the constant pressure from my supervisors. Though i achieve my daily target everyday, but it all comes down to the customer at the end of the day whether he completes the transaction on his behalf or simply ignore it, which absolutely affects my monthly score.

Anyhow, when i arrived at work today, my boss surprised me with the news that my request has been approved by the manager. To tell you the truth, i was pretty shocked. It's been only two days for my transfer request, and i didn't anticipate the reply would be this soon! So far, it's been only verbal, and they're still looking for a branch that needed a part timer. But the manager got the assurance from my boss that I'm about to graduate, and moving to branches would add up a good amount to my experience, which was probably the reason why they approved of the request this early.

But, i don't know why, but i felt sad.
it's not unusual for me to feel this way because I'm always intimidated by change and much affected by it. I felt like i don't wanna part with this place that's been part of me for two years. I felt like i don't wanna leave my 3 good friends. I felt like i don't wanna have another boss who has been nothing but good to me.

The most outstanding advantage of my current job is flexibility. If ever i had a midterm or something that forced me not to attend, my boss would understand, and my supervisors as well. And most of the time my leaves would not be considered unpaid. The second advantage is my good friends H, D and N. H will definitely read this, so you know what you've done to make this place more enjoyable :-)

As for the advantages of working at branches, they're not that different. I have to work for 3 hours instead of 4. And working in Thursday mornings isn't required for us. So basically I'll be working for 4 days instead of 5.

Now moving to the disadvantages. Failure of achieving target will always haunt me in my current job. Add to it the mood swings and rampage moments that my boss goes through whenever someone messes up. And not to mention, the gossipy college students whose attitudes are still childish as if they hadn't enough breast feeding. However, the thing I'll miss the most, is the semi-annual and annual ceremonies for the A+ agents, because i won't be awarded with my fellow collegues (the whole CC Department in general) whom I've been familiar with and won't feel as a stranger with if i got an A+.

The only disadvantage with working in branches is the fear of having a lousy boss and the whole get-to-know people phase again.

I am really lost and cannot make up my mind.
Also, goodbye isn't my thing!
