One of my Team Leads had tendered her resignation and left last Friday. She was my second Team Lead who resigned (see my blog post dated Resignation and Attrition Monday, 27 October 2008). The situation is not favourable to my organisation and I at the moment. This is due to the impending shift to inferior terms and conditions for Team Leads and below positions at my organisation to be implemented in quarter two of this year. This strategic decision was made in the middle of last year and since then had become a torn in the flesh for most of my team members.
The strategic decision is contentious and had created tension within the organisation. Team members are waiting for a turn around decision. My concern would be if there were no changes to the plan, I would potentially be experiencing en masse resignation some time in the middle of this year.
Prior to her leaving, we had an exit interview and she informed me that her decision to leave was due to the shift to an inferior terms and conditions that I mentioned earlier. She felt that she would not be able to move to other positions in my organisation to avoid it and rather than wait, she thought that it would be better for her to make a career move. She had been a great support to my leadership initiatives in the team and I wish her all the best.
