What is there to lose...

As I mentioned in my previous post, under the spell of the new company, I quit my favorite job and switched to my second professional job. I regretted a bit in the first 6 months. You ask why;

1. We were sitting alone with a technician friend in a small laboratory in the farthest corner of the office. Next door, in the open office layout with the marketing team, 8-9 people were sitting cheerfully “according to my perception” and I felt isolated and lonely. The occasional intervention also made me feel like an intruder. That very safe state of me as if it was a little damaged ...

2. I moved from the star footballer position in the previous company to a position in the background for me😊 Especially at that time I wanted to be in the front lines, my work to be important and noticed. However, the technical work I did seemed very routine and unpleasant to me ... So much so that I started to go to work by shuttle and I was constantly looking at my watch during the day so that I could return home at 17.00 in the evening.

3. I was always very fond of his freedom and space ... I guess such a technical task was not suitable for me.

At least 6 months have passed like this ... As I said, I was feeling very unhappy. One evening, I thought that I would go the next day and resign from now on and then take care of myself. The next day I learned that my manager and our general manager were in Ankara. I had said several times before that I wanted to sit with the marketing team, that it would be much better for the job and that we could replace my desk with the copier, but the departments had to sit inside themselves, as per the rules. When my principals were in Ankara, I carried my table to the photocopy machine myself! The next day my manager and general manager were very surprised when they saw me sitting in the open office of marketing, they paused for a moment and then they said "it was beautiful" with maturity and closed the subject👏🏻 "What am I going to lose?" I am not very happy anyway, and I thought this is the experience ... And everything changed one by one after that day.

After all, if there is something that overwhelms you in your life, put yourself in the "what is there to lose" mode somehow and take the necessary action. I don't know if you will lose or win, but something will definitely change.
