Enough is Enough

Yesterday, an old company where I used to work part-time as a trainer called me up and asked me if I am interested to handle a class again. It was quite a surprise for me because it has been 2 years since they asked me to handle a class there. The pay sucked big time but I love training so I stuck with them for almost half a year, before they realized that they just wanted part-timers and working for at least 6 months would require them to make me a regular employee, which they didn't want just so they can save money. Although I was not that excited, I was also looking forward to handle a class again. I would be handling the afternoon class (1pm to 5pm) starting today so I still have time to rest for my full-time job which starts at 9:30pm.

And then a few minutes ago, while I was preparing, I received a call from the company. They said that since there are only few who signed up, they have to postpone the training until next year. That's weird. Yesterday, they offered me the job (still part-time) and told me how many students I will have. Now they're telling me they don't need me just yet. Well I don't need them either. Sure, it will be a little help to have extra income to augment my salary, but I don't want to be involved in something that is so unprofessional.

Yet another disappointment in my life. And yes, I have decided that if ever, just if ever they would offer me a class again, I will most definitely decline without any second thoughts or regrets. Enough is enough.
