Month: April 2023

I’ve been lurking here for a little bit and a good majority of the posts I see about people quitting their jobs is because they’re being underpaid or management is screwing them over in some way. I have been seriously considering leaving my job recently and going back to school, but I don’t share in those same struggles. My job pays relatively well, has very high job security, a good schedule, and I actually really like my direct supervisors. However, the profession itself has riddled me with so much anxiety it’s been affecting my personal life, and I’ve noticed it getting worse. Pretty soon I’m going to be going back to school (online) to get a business-related degree and pour my free time and creativity into writing, which has always been my passion and “dream job”. I guess the point of this post is that I felt very guilty about…

I was doing a work order Friday and didn't have time to finish. It was everytime I pulled something out there was another thing that added 2 more things to do. They called me after work hours to complain. And I went to explain to the person in my own time what happened. Then I come in Monday to drop a paper off at the managers desk and saw my name on a paper. It was a write up for not finishing the work order Friday. So I signed in. Whatever I don't care. Then I got called back in saying I was flipping through their desk and the write up was upside down. So I got in trouble for signing the write up without it being handed to me. nd now she thinks I was snooping her desk. Sorry I just had to rant as I am so pissed…

My proposed answer: when their accumulated assests are enough* to meet their survival needs for the rest of their life (*or would have been enough, had they not blown them on looking rich). Such people don't share the same class interests as those of us who are an extended layoff (or less) away from being in very dire straits.

I’m not sure why, but I feel extremely guilty about calling off of work. Does anyone have some encouraging words for me?

Putting my two weeks notice in on Friday and cannot wait! Have been miserable for months and months. Haven’t had more than 2 weeks off from working for more than 13 years. I feel my life has been passing by and I don’t value high paying salary and all the corporate hoolahoop bullshit anymore. I would rather bet on myself, report to my self, do what I want when I want over being undervalued and burnt out. Taking a huge risk in giving up a company in which my financial future is set. I’m definitely nervous about financial future but let’s see what happens Just cannot wait to see the bosses faces when I tell ‘em Friday morning.
