And it feels great. This morning I packed up my work from home equipment, dropped it at the office before anyone arrived, and texted my manager that I was resigning. No reason given. I then blocked their number, because whatever their response was really doesn’t matter. I don’t owe you anything- not even a notice.
I previously left a tech startup because i felt that it wasn’t ‘established’ or ‘professional’ enough. Turns out that established and professional companies are the ones that treat you the worst!
My job was completely fucking stupid – I worked with accountants and just did a bunch of little shit that they didn’t want to do. For example: when paying out an invoice,accountants would reach out to ME if the invoice needed an address change. What that means is 20 different people would bombard me with menial data entry requests they could have done on their own. On top of other duties. It was very easy work, but absolutely soul sucking.
On top of that, people who had been there for YEARS just quit out of nowhere. My manager straight up told me we would have to pick up their slack – fuck that.
No job is perfect, but we should have thresholds for what we tolerate. There’s something profoundly powerful about quitting with no notice – like it solidifies that my life is really mine and I can do whatever the fuck I want.
