The tradefare complex was booming for two weeks. People kept trooping in and out with their purchases. But I was just there stationed at the gates making sure that both vehicles and humans do not encounter any difficulties coming into the complex and out of it.
I know very well that what I was presently doing will be my last job for the company. I know that I won't continue with them for any security job. I've gotten another offer, a better offer for that matter with much improved salary.
That same evening, I approached my friend my closest friend Jonas and told him. He was filled with tears because we've been close to each other for almost a decade now. I assured him that we will continue to be in touch. Reluctantly he agreed.
Few days later, I submitted my resignation letter. The head of personnel could not believe her eyes. I told her that I needed the change in job as it offers me more than my present job. She rang up the head of administration who came down almost immediately. They worked on a new salary for me, an enhanced pay so to say but even at that the offer I got elsewhere was still better.
I politely told them that salary wasn't my problem. I need to change environment and be closer to my family. They had no choice but to let me go.
