So I have actually been thinking of resigning for some time but it wasn’t the right timing. I got pregnant, took my maternity leave (all 12 weeks) went back to work on a Monday and submitted 4 weeks notice on Tuesday.
Although I was one of the senior technicians who knew everything regarding the lab they accepted my resignation effective immediately. 1 tech quit that Saturday before me and another resigned right after me too.
It is what it is but to think they wouldn’t have appreciated some transitional help just baffled me.
