Resigning in this economy
Problem/goal: Is it okay to resign from my current job without any job offers in line? Or should I have sticked it out kasi ang hirap maghanap ng work in this economy? for context: I work in a FMCG in the province. This is my first job and I’m very much grateful to be hired immediately last 2024. The pay is okay, livable naman siya for someone who still lives with her parents and doesn’t need to fend for others. The thing is, since 2024 bonus, increase in salary or whatsoever. And it sucks kasi pinapaasa na lang kami na meron when in fact wala naman talaga. I’m 25 and gusto ko rin sana mag explore and look for better opportunities. My current job is okay but alam niyo ba yung feeling yk na you could do so much more? Also, I know how rought the current job market is rn kaya I’ve been doubting this decision pero gusto ko rin sana maghanap ng work na I don’t have to rely on OT para tumaas naman kahit papaano yung sahod ko I’m just grateful na I have the privilege to have parents who still support me. Thinking about the resignation and leaving saddens me but I know for a fact I’ll feel bad for not doing this is this normal?? Thank youu
