My Job

I wanted to post this last week but I didn't find time to do it. Recently, my department had a restructuring. My boss is now fully in charge of all the products that my department is offering. And there is a GM who will be in charge of the products that we were previously selling for ASEAN region. I thought we were to report to this GM but last week I realise that my division(product) will only focus on Singapore business. That means to say, I do not need to fly and I will not be supporting Southeast asia business. And I will need to learn the other products and support technically.

When I told my wife about this, she exclaimed that I was demoted. That was right too since I was in regional support before and now it became local support. When I looked at the structure of my division, I thought the structure could be leaner. AND I found my position to be quite redundant. haha.. (from my point of view) Initially I joined this division because of it's regional portfolio. Now it had changed, I thought I was put in a crossroad again. I had to make some plans and decision. Should I stay and learn new things and hope that the business will get better and I can keep my job here? Or should I look for greener pastures out there? Should I do project? Should I upgrade my knowledge? Should I try other industries? Should I join institutions?

Shrug.. I am still thinking about it. Probably I will stay and learn the new products first. I always want to learn new things. This new knowledge could be helpful to me in future. =) However through this, I experienced the stress, fears, uncertainty and worries of losing my job. I didn't take it too hard. (since I wasn't actually out of job) But I am preparing for the changes that may come. I know God will still provide and I can still find a job. I was just wondering what is His plan for me and where is He leading me towards in my career. I want to contribute in my work and not to do it only as a livelihood.
