6 months to go...

yesterday, i had my serious 1:1 with my boss, it was a life changing decision that we both have to make. finally, the long wait is over - we had the verdict - cv is closing very soon. the global financial crisis has impacted the company's decision to execute closure plan - with that it has also impacted our personal lives. i will be leaving this company together with the remaining materials employees in q1'09, we had an option to take early release in february or complete the 90 days period beginning january, hence my LDO is end of april '09. i took the latter, for the reason that i still have to complete the projects i am currently engaged in, and of course to savor our remaining days in the building.

i have spent more than half of my professional life here - it was indeed a very sad conversation with my boss, (btw, he's an american and currently relo assigned in shanghai) he felt for all cv folks. the release was divided in 4 phases (phase 1 - cpu folks, phase 2 will be the ssg including materials, phase 3 will be hr and last phase will be the finance group)

i had my share of good and bad times here, more of a good times since this is really a great place to work. it had opened a lot of good opportunities for me to become a person i am right now. i will surely miss my counterparts in other sites, my cubicle, my notebook, the many places i'd been to, the teambuildings, trainings, airports hassles, the pressures, the focal period, the recognition and most of all the culture, hai my list is endless....ngayon pa lang na mi-miss ko na ito, nagiging senti ako hu hu hu...

i know life must go on ... i don't have plans yet to find another job for now, maybe i'll concentrate on being a homemaker for a while, this is my long dream career anyway, but i'm sure eventually, i'll find my place in a corporate world again.
