            <title>Business owners advise needed on (Job offer)</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5178517</link>
            <description>43 this year. Married with 1 kid. Wife is working full-time as Admin.&lt;br /&gt;Been thinking of venturing into business for quite some time. This year I finally follow my guts to pull it off.&lt;br /&gt;But when I gave my resignation, I was counter offered with a management position  &lt;!--emo&amp;:facepalm:--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/doh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='doh.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt; &lt;br /&gt;I am in a huge dilemma right now and need for a wise advise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New job:&lt;br /&gt;- Promised at least 3.5k minimum basic with ++allowance, sales overriding etc &lt;br /&gt;- need to manage Penang, Kedah and Ipoh. Occasionally need to go KL for meetings. Means more travelling (rm600 only allocated for transportation)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tried query this new position from my close friend, he is the branch manager at HQ. he told me his everyday job is argue, argue, and more arguing non-stop. He said the new MD doesn&amp;#39;t give a F on what he requested and everyone&amp;#39;s damn attitude at HQ. even He is trying to look for other job as well  &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Hearing this made me re-think about this job offer. Because I need to handle around 20 staff, customer services and requires lots of help/support from the HQ as well. If they are not willing to help then it&amp;#39;s gonna be a hell for me. If I can&amp;#39;t help my staff then why even bother taking up this job right? that&amp;#39;s my concern right now.&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, if I were to accept this post. This will be my final destination (I guess?) because as you know I&amp;#39;m not getting any younger and I need to stick with this job (whether I like it or ot) until I retire old. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;new Business&lt;br /&gt;- it&amp;#39;s not my first time stepping into business world. Still, the thought of uncertainty still haunts me.&lt;br /&gt;- But I have all the plans ready. quite confidence I can pull it off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My damn ego keep telling me I have a family to take care. Are you sure you can do it? You are low in finance&amp;#33; Can you really succeed? &lt;br /&gt;Sometimes I do sleep in fear what if I can&amp;#39;t support my family? what if things doesn&amp;#39;t goes well? you know, those stuff...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have friends who runs good businesses and also those work in corporates for eternity. Both point of views are vastly different. Of course I do understand where they come from. Would like to hear more inputs from serious /K friends. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much appreciated</description>

Felt like wanna kill myself&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;she then replied me that she think we are &amp;quot;TOO FAST&amp;quot; and she didn&amp;#39;t know me well enough.&lt;br /&gt;That time we dated in a mall and she said she need to meet up with her friends at 6pm but the time is still 5pm. She insisted she need to go now and left me in the mall &lt;!--emo&amp;:(--&gt;&lt;img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /&gt;&lt;!--endemo--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt like being rejected although she didn&amp;#39;t said so.&lt;br /&gt;Girls I need your point of view...&lt;br /&gt;What is she thinking right now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should I just forget about her? and move on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
