I assure you that when I quit my job it was anything but quiet. At first I felt bad because I thought that there was a more professional way of handling things other than sending out petty emails. But after I got that two weeks notice in, I never felt better.
I thought I loved this job. Come to find out, I just enjoyed the game of politics. The fact is that staying abreast of everyone’s drama and using that to your advantage makes you a sociopath. It can be fun initially, but you lose your soul in the process.
The bad news is that I’m now selling my house…that I worked hard for…and moving out of state . The good news though is that I will not have to pay a mortgage (or rent) for the foreseeable future and I’ll virtually be out of debt with a good deal of cash on hand.
This frees me up to do basically anything I want. I doubt I will pursue writing full time because, not to brag or anything, I can write in my sleep. So I’ll probably return to school for nursing or something in the mental health field which is what I should have done 15 years ago.
Damn, good luck. I hope these changes work out for you!
I appreciate it 🙏 even if things don’t work out perfectly, at least I won’t be a part of that train wreck that is my former employer
I wish you the best of luck (if your post is serious, as I’m often not sure when you’re being honest or bullshitting us). I’ve made a number of bold (though not always smart) career changes myself, as life’s too short to be miserable or unfulfilled. But things usually worked out in the end.
This is unfortunately real haha 😆 and thank you! that’s my philosophy as well. Since turning in my notice, I already feel like a massive burden has been lifted from my shoulders
