1. I was told to wait for the re-organisation because a new department would likely be created and there would be a more suitable position for me then. I waited for a year. It didn't look like it was going to happen. I decided to start looking outside for something else. The day I went for the second interview was the way I heard that plans of the re-organisation would be announced.
2. The day I was told my new job scope (which I disliked), was the same day I received the new job offer.
3. The day I sent back the signed offer letter, was the day I learned that everyone would be getting a salary increase. Either way, I lose. If my revised salary is higher than what I'd be getting at my new job, I lose. If it is lower, I still lose, as I could have used the new figure as a higher baseline and gotten higher pay at my new workplace.
4. I was told not to resign until I pass the required medical and security clearance. But if I didn't resign, I would have to start taking over duties related to my new job scope. I decided to wait, in case I became that very joker who failed his medical and couldn't sign for a new football club (see earlier posts). This meant stalling for time and not taking over the duties for now. I realised this morning that I couldn't hide it anymore (things were happening and I can't stall anymore) and so I told my new supervisor about my situation and how I was waiting for them to call me back to tell me that I passed the medical so I could resign and move on. While I was explaining to him, they called me. The call came at the most ideal time. I tendered my resignation in the afternoon.
