Resignation

On Sunday, I resigned from my company.

I resigned for a multitude of reasons, among them:

• Progress was going way too slowly. It seemed to me that we were all bitten by the perfectionist bug that I have. We were trying to build a hotel before we have even built a Lego house.
• The meetings take forever. I don’t know why, but meetings always take a couple of hours. Afterwards, we are all hungry, so we go eat for another hour or two. That’s a whole day out the window. Not that the meetings aren’t necessary, but they are a major drain on resources.
• Nobody was motivated. We have all put in much work, time, and effort, but in vain it seems. We have yet to receive any rewards, and I’m not even talking about money. The lack of progress creates a seemingly endless road.
• Several people have been lost. In fact, it was pretty obvious that we would continue losing people, quicker than we would make progress.
• I didn’t feel like I was fulfilling my responsibilities. I may not have been the only one who felt that way, but that does not excuse my negligence of duty. Although my resignation may deal quite a blow to the company, I would rather do that than continue acting irresponsibly.

It’s sad, really. I have been with this company from the start. I would have liked to see it grow and prosper. We had so many people who were talented and motivated.

What a waste.
