Not long after I turned 30, few major things happen:

The manager post promised to me had to be given away based on seniority eventhough the person is new to the department.
A friend whom I really looked up to hopped to a new job and he was shocked to find out that I am underpaid! I was shocked as well!
All these happened on the week that my contract with the organization ceased, meaning I was given choice to leave.

So what is the universe trying to tell me.

That friend was really really supportive. He mailed me a posting from Jobstreet the very next day, signalling that he really wanted me to move, to try new things, to get paid accordingly. He had been saying the same things for very long time.

I thought that through.

And after good consideration, I decided to stay.

He'll be furious. He'll be furious knowing that I am comfortable where I am. That I am still loyal to the company who underpaid me, that am loyal to my boss who decided to give that post to a new person, that I dare not stepping out from the box.
