He immediately calls me and opens with “It's probably for the best. I know we haven't had a supervision session (1-2-1) for a while but the feedback I've had from other staff is that you don't want to be there.” How the hell was I supposed to react to that?!

Anyway, can't wait for the new role to start, plus it comes with a ~20% pay bump. Can. Not. Wait!!
