Resignation submitted!  — 1 day ago

Worth doing!

This has come about now because my bosses essentially made me choose between my husband and my job. Well, guess who I chose!

I submitted my resignation and leaving date as we agreed. Then when they saw the letter they panicked and realised they had no chance of finding a replacement on that timescale. So then they said they were prepared to let me work from home for one more month.

Despite the fact that I hate their games, I don’t have anything else lined up right now, so I took their offer. But it will feel so good once I am free of them.

While this exit may not be the one I had envisioned, everything happens for a reason and this is a chance for a fresh start and the chance to find a more rewarding job.

useless  — 1 day ago

Just an update since I submitted my resignation letter a month ago: I’m still at my current job. My boss talked me into staying as a favor as she’s aware that I haven’t found another job yet and for the meantime, I would stay while I continued on my job search.

A month passed and I still feel the same. I don’t want to be there anymore. I still hate my job.

I really want to stay up until my one year in several months, but I don’t know if I can take it anymore. I try my best; I really do…but my best is not enough to succeed. I feel like I’m in a wild sheep chase, never really obtaining what they expect of me.

I felt so useless today. It seems to them that I’m not making a difference in myself to improve in my job, even if I’ve been trying.

I want to succeed well in everything I do, and yet I can’t find that in my job. I feel as if I’m spread out too thin and really…the job bores me. I hate this :(

Words cannot express how much I want to do this!  — 3 days ago

I hate my job. Hate.

But I have to be responsible about quitting, especially in today’s economy.

The plan…I am contacting potential employer #1 tomorrow. I worked for the company for 4+ years in college and am 99% sure that I can get a position with them, but that 1% doubt is what has kept me from leaving my current job.

I already spoke to HR and have figured out how to handle my benefits from now until the day I leave.

I hope to have my resignation (the letter is already written) turned in by this Friday and my last day to be June 1st. I can’t wait to leave!

I quit today  — 4 days ago

Worth doing!

It’s just the smaller one of the two jobs I have that I quit today, but it was hard. I’m afraid of my boss because he is so moody and unfriendly, and I’m sensitive, so I feel bad a lot. When I told one of my co-workers that I feel that he is too moody, she looked at me like I was crazy and said that I was being too sensitive. I answered that people are different, meaning that not all are equally sensitive/insensitive. Anyway, she doesn’t understand me and neither does the other colleague, they all seem to be good friends but I don’t belong in that circle. I don’t belong to that kind of people, job, business branch etc. The way I perceive it, they all supress their aggressions which is why they behave so passive-aggressively, you know, that tone of voice, and saying things that are mean in a way that hurts you but that I can’t defend myself against because it’s so subtle. Unfortunately, mean people bring me down, as well as other peoples moods. I will leave by the end of June and I hope the rest of the time I have to work there won’t be too bad.
I feel hopeless, though, because when I got that job, I had a really good (gut?) feeling about it, and I told myself that I should trust my feelings, and now look at what has become of this whole work situation? How am I supposed to make the right decisions if I can’t even trust my own instincts??

Giving my notice  — 4 days ago

Worth doing!

Well, I quit my job. I gave my notice last Friday. Now I have a month left. I will never again agree to give a month’s notice. I just didn’t realize that I’d be leaving because I didn’t like the job. I thought I’d be leaving when I moved out of town. Oh well. Everyone is still nice to me, I just will feel awkward for the next month.
