Like in an any relationship - being the rebound is definitely a no no, that unless it is your bleeding desire to further the hurt, if S & M gives you the thrill, then thrill away.
It maybe a little different to spot these rebounders especially with the CC industry, everyone is on their best behavior, Stilletos shine to deceive, or more so to impress.
Lets look on the other side of the coin here - We've had our share of friends who hop from one company to another so much so they should get a stamp on.
I've worked for this Multi National BPO for roughly 5 years, we all know what an achievement that is, with the general attrition soaring up to heights faster than Big Brother evicts people.
And then I made the boldest move of resigning, too much comfort and saturation perhaps. Too much of the familiar maybe.
So I wouldn't be looking for anything serious, just something I can get by with, while I'm figuring out what it is I really want.
And by stroke of mad luck - Jobstreet posts this lucrative albeit unrealistic advert, I guess I can still afford a little whim.
I wanted my time back, and given they've arranged a salary package meeting my expectations, what have I got to lose? And the 'We're like family here' spiel always is a good motivation to work.
All the signs pointed to it, giving in more to intuition rather than reason, I surrendered - This being just my second full time job.
After just under 2 months, you begin a minor assessment if this is going to work - like in a real relationship. So Companies listen up err read on.
Pros, Cons, - Do the Pros outweigh the Cons?
1. People - Do I really want to be associated with these people? Are they willing to include me in their posse? Am I?
2. Superior - Do my superiors deserve my respect? Will it get better? Will they?
3. Work - Do I see myself doing this for a long time? For real?
4. Growth - If growth isn't what your looking for, you just may be lying, because anything that will not let you grow, will only help you get worse. Do I see a future in this?
5. Will it get better? Can I handle the heat? Do I want to?
Now that I am out of my Sanctuary and in to the 'real world' - I have better understanding of the CC hoppers - Not that I have new found respect for them - Lets just say I have an idea why they do that, although I'm still clueless why they do it often, maybe just doggone misfortune.
People leave for a myriad of reasons - which only points to one thing actually, Happiness. More than growth or anything monetary, consideration of present happiness is almost always what cinches the deal or in this case, breaks it.
And yeah, worst thing about rebounds? They never last.
