Today I signed my salary increase letter given by our higher-ups. My basic salary really increased, but there was a catch. The reason for such was all my other allowances were bundled into it, and then calling that new sum, "the increased salary".
I know life's hard and the economy is down, but after serving almost 10 years in this company, I should have gotten this amount 4 years ago! I sometimes think of the investment my parents put in me, sending me to school, making sure I have the best education possible.
Should I have ventured on endeavors related to my course instead? I knew computers were in, and I could say I had the interest graduating lankly albeit excitedly 9 summers ago. Would I have found myself in the same financial situation if I were able to find a job in Shell or San Miguel or some other instutition I have submitted applications in?
To finally move into our own house, I would need to tighten my belt a little bit more, put off enrolling Nikki to a playschool and just homeschool him till he qualifies for preschool, say goodbye to my planned DVD purchases, and maybe stay abroad for a few more assignments... What do you say?
