Ha, yes. Another job related thread in kopitiam. I have been contemplating to tender my resignation since September last year but I have been holding back due to various reasons. One of it is I have no job offer currently that will encourage me to throw the letter to my HR dept.

For those fellow members in here who tendered without any job offer in sight, I really respect you guys for being so courageous.

Same situation here

duh, anyone resign without a new job offer, make sure you have balls made titanium carbon fibre or perhaps gold

expected economy will be down for the next few yrs, so good luck

So far I've seen people resigning without a new opportunity because beh tahan the boss. Many left abruptly being terminated for wrongdoings.

Just found out one of my ex colleague resigned without a job. I also don't know how they do it.

cukur got planted money trees in whole garden.

when no money, just go pick.

resign with style.

work is for the weak.

Oi secure job dulu la bai.
Unless u have 1 year of salary in ur saving account.

bersabarlah kamu.. beta faham kesulitan yang dihadapi.

It depend, last year I tender my resignation without securing jobs first, but managed to get a job in short time

Many many years ago i did that.

Resigned (with one month notice) without a job offer.

The next few days, I attended an interview and got a job.

There was still roughly one month left to go.

Each must have their own survival strategies, and how long you can last without salary income.

If yours can sustain 6 months, min lifestyle. I think it should be adequate period for new job hunt.

However, you may also do odd job to extend the 6 months period. Just don't expect saving and holiday during this period.

I tendered my resignation before i found another job, the waiting is nerve wrecking, i made sure i'm always on jobstreet applying jobs almost everyday and going interview almost everyday. worse come to worst just lower your expectation a bit, at least you get a chance to go to an interview first

sometimes resignation is not about the job, its about the people around you.

at least this is the reason i resign, job is great, just too many shit people around

Resigning without job offer is possible but you must have atleast 6 months worth of your current salary in your banking account. Statistic say, you will need atleast 6 months to secure new job but considering current economic I say you must atleast saved up 1 year salary.

if staying with pa ma ok la
can play game all day long

Ada daddykasi

I did once before pursuing post graduate study because need to relocate.
Jobless for 2 months.

Did that once when young
Lepak 1 month looking for job
Luckily found one
Never again

Provided you can get a job withing 1 year

after resign can always drive grab wat... or do freelance job... apa takut

Out of 6 jobs from 6 companies, I did 2 times. (Our old job la)

Both of the times i struggled.

The first one because from our industry to what i studied. Ended up no job for 6 months. When i back to the industry. I had to start with lowest salary you can imagine. That time was 2010 kot

The 2nd one, no job for almost 2 months. But luckily can Grab.

I tell u ine thing la. Not worth at all.

forcing myself to jump out of comfort zone.

I resigned without offer one time. But i have no commitment and have a lot of friends for connection.

My holiday at home lasted for 2 months.

Did it 2 years back.
Got salaly then quit, no notice.
3 months lepak. Then got interview and got the job.
No problem la you can do it, if u single. If u married then need to think about commitment. Single you can just stay at parent's house make thick face lo

Jus resign already...
Work 5 days to get 2 days off ?
Work 50 weeks to get 2 weeks off ?
Get a life la...
Even hawker is better than "ta kung cai"

Grab kan ada

Butthole kan ada

Any time can make money

My company constantly changing a lot of things and today got the worst news... might start looking for another job again

Yeah especially manufacturing sector. my place here already put in most option for cost cutting. Probably going into human cutting next

Who ask you "ta kung zai" buy big hse big card credit card max out... now wanna resign pun no balls...
Imagine working for something u dun like no interest waste of time ... ur destiny is not in ur hands.
Resign pun no balls... becoz "ta kung zai" commitment too heavy liao ... wake up la dude... go start ur own biznez do something u like or at least worth your time...why go office stuck in jam wake up 6am go meeting 2hrs stuck traffic 1hr go back 8pm... u dun sor hai liao... ur bos today dun hav u also no problem...

did that last year, kenot tahan my boss anymore, 1 month doing Grab after that, was the best time of my life

now working as kuli again but much better that my last job

I always hear alot ppl talk about grab. Is it worth to quit your job to do grab? Some say can earn 2k to 3k

yeah, in fact my industry has started to be affected by it even before the downturn starts.

So do they resign, or they kena terminated?

Actually, I do have more than 1 year savings excl FDs.

Patik terasa amat bersyukur kerana sultan mencemar duli ke bebenang patik.

THat's great. That's what I'm hoping for too.....

Yes. I like the industry I'm in but the toxicity and the stupidity of the people around me is just...eww.

masa tu, although earning tak seberapa, at least happy.... until HQ decided to discriminate between contract worker ngan permanent worker. Benefit and entitlement lain padahal jobscope sama. Cilaka. Kebetulan company lain datang ketuk pintu saya, so I also cabut la.

Thank you very much for the praise. I'm feel flattered

What kind of worst news? Massive VSS?

can resign one, after that become sales agent for cuckoo/insurance... lol

Masa ni first time aku dengar term "permanent-contract"

Lmao

Year 2008 I resign wihout a job and been jobless ever since.

Cukur I got rich pama

ayam not shit right?

Better than Grab kan?

not really worth it actually unless you're really committed to it by driving more than 12 hours daily. Somemore the cars that I have are all C-segments. Maintenance of wear and tear items itself costs $$$$$.

Usually this period punya worst news is "No Bonus this year".

Hmm. . Dont resign becuz of emotion. Or just want to show to boss. End of the day no matter how much u hate the company, they will always be able to survive without you.

Just do your work and find new one down the road lo.

2k or 3k does not satisfy /k standard...

Simple, don't commit yourself with all sorts of things knowing your salary is shit.
Getting a car with 9 years loan, gulping a half a million loan on a apartment, those decision pretty much already bind your freedom. Add worse, live pay check to pay check.
And credit cards loans too.

I did it before. If u have 6 months or more saving then it shouldn't be a problem

It is called "Suicide".

I have done it before, back in 2013. Left the O&G industry, and then just in time before the price crash.
Got opportunity to invest in a business a few months after that, and then the looks of it now, seems to be growing to the right direction.

still remember in 2014, after tendering resign i need to serve 3 month, it was hellish, but then i got offer after serving 1.5 month, straight away cabut..the previous company envy me and sue me 3 month salary thru Jabtan Tenaga..it wass shitty exp...

did that 2 years back, landing a job after 5 months

no regret

like others say, do it while you are young

I dont see wats the big deal....

I'm jobless for more than 6 months now.

Not something I will encourage you to do.

If u already resigned and without a job, do consider doing mlm with me.

There are lots of professional who are doing it now and they have good incomes, better than their work.

Nowadays mlm is not like it used to be.

I was thinking the same as you.

But then I waited...some job offers came but weren't suitable.

After 1 year finally I found the job I wanted and then tendered.

when triggereddd

Your company didn't offer to pay the old company kah for cabut awal?

Thank you for the offer. Hope your business flourish even more.

I think alot here have given enough advises. If u dont have much saving and 1-2 commitments, I strongly advise u not to resign out of emotion. Just hang in there and search for new opportunities along the way.

Get real, bro. It's not an easy world out there. Someone's gotta pay the bill right? Personally, I have not done it, but my wife did it 6 years ago. Of course, she got me to cover, so she can fire her old boss. She managed to find a new job right after her notice. But with current economy situation, it might not be as easy.

Good luck.

do keep looking or do grab car (which advise by most ppl to me)

I've done it. Twice. Both jobs had a notice period of 3 months, way too long for headhunters or potential employers to consider. So I just tendered and went job hunting. Fortune favors the bold!

park for future reference.

get a job first before resigning, u think u get to rest a month but once the rest gets more and account gets less, you wont like it

I did it what you mentioned, currently on the 2nd month without job.

But one thing I did it because I have less commitments and because of 3 months notice.

Thank you sir, all da best to u too.

Don't wait, pm me now

I resigned without a job once and found a job during notice period.

Was quite worried at first also that it’ll drag on until my last day in the co.

Few years down the road when you're ready to upgrade from your A-class, I can hook you up with even better wheels for you to attract more prospects.

month 7 , still no job yet

cukur severance package

but also need to work soon

i cannot resign as i got high commitment

Next week I'm going to enter the 3rd month of employment. Okok so far. Doing grab and stock trading to fill up my free time

I hate my previous job too much, hence I left. But also combined the fact that I had to put in a 3 month notice. Not much companies would wait for you for 3 months or buy you out as well.

did that.

went back hometown.

now tolong kawan.

Think objectively, there is no guarantee the next job won't have a shitty boss or a hostile working environment. If you apply from Jobstreet, there is a chance the opening was left vacant from the same kind of employee who couldn't work along with his immediate superior.

But if the current job reaches a breaking point, then no choice but to take the plunge of venturing out for another opportunity.

All the best TS!!

Agree. Good luck.

yeah, you really have to have balls to quit without a job in sight. I have always told my myself and my friends that it would be really unwise to tender their resignation without a job in sight.....

Until one fine day, I found myself doing just that --- quitting my job without a job offer. I just could not take the working environment there anymore. Sure, I had commitments but it just came to a point where I could not take it anymore. I just didn't care anymore... I was just feeling so depressed there.
It wasn't just me that quit without a job, at least 3 other colleagues of mine also quit their jobs without a job offer.

Now I tell my friends, sure, you can quit your job without a job offer but make sure you have enough savings in your emergency fund to sustain your lifestyle for the next 6 months at least...

That's just me....

Now, more grap driver on the road.

Good luck.

same , was unhappy until point of suicidal thoughts,

walked off,

how the fuck u resign wif job in sight?

cuti alone on sunday

iv on tuesday

how many tuesday u can ponteng for iv?

Find the new job and get offer first then only resign..unless u willing to do grab or want to start business..

Last time I just resigned with 2 months notice without look at or find any job due to really cannot tahan with my boss..

But in my pocket already got at least 5 years experience.. after that i straight away find a job and luckily i got new job within 1 month..

Before you resign, please ensure that at least you have an 3 years of experience.. so if you find another job, you will not stay at junior level or semi senior level.. plus you can make a demand.. any nowadays, employer normally take people with experience to make them easy..

gold is soft... but value for money
can cut and sell

Once a week only lol

multitasking. Good.

Nowdays, everthing expensive.

Change in workforce and shit. Gotta work extra 3 hours a week with no increment.

The only time I did this was when I was working with a company which had 3 months notice for resignation. Got a job one and a half months after tendering.

If your job has a long notice period then it might be the only way. Hardly anyone willing to wait or buy out for 3 months.

too stressed

i ended up quitting and it was one of the best thing to happen

Confirm 3 years, then change to amg spec.

I buy a class not because it's cheap but the tech and I like hot hatch lor

not to say not possible. Its all about planning for yourself.

yup me too, used to think its unwise and stupid to quit even b4 u got a new job.... but some times.... u just need to walk out from the corporate shit hole..... or demotivating bosses.... some war u win some war u lose.... thats corporate ladder.... always have some 6 to 12 mths funds to fall back on!

done the same..but i had to quit because heavy travelling till the point that i have to cancel job interviews...so while in my notice period i worked closely with several recruiters to at least get interview session with potential employers.. thank god before my notice ends, i secured a job. we all need to be positive and plan ahead. of course you'll be stressed out but thats part of life...soon there's a light at the end of the tunnel. stay strong and believe in yourself you will secure a job soon enough

Boss can u explain more.. why shit people around. What did u feel or what happened

Been tehre done that, last year

Best time of my life

i just did. i cant take the shit anymore. so while waiting for new opening, i will drive grab

sometime is have been force to do.
even admin also need to go out for meeting client if office stuff is not enough.
later after admin will become half part of sale...and when target unable to hit, admin kena juga.
end up resign even though havent secure a job.

life is hard, living is challenge

I did mine coz I need to server 3 months of notice. I only managed to secure a job just less than 2 weeks before my notice period ended. I quite risky to do coz its all depends on your own luck to get a new job.

feel u bro, thats what i was doing

i realli wan do it

have saving to last

but always felt that if i do it, i might become lazy...sigh

I will resign after take bonus end of this month.

- too comfort in company, but no increment for 2 years already
- go holiday 2 week then only start find job
- less commitment, 1 car and rental only

wish me luck

My last job i resigned from... i didn't have any offers too. but already had a few businesses running.

same here, I just had to leave because suicidal thoughts were starting to form in my head.
Unhealthy I know, that's why I too, walked away before I really do the unspeakable to myself

people do that coz no need to pay any loan or bills.

how i wish i can do that too. then can holiday 1 month without any worries

then u might as well wait for the VSS offer to come

at least u resign get some compensation
