I’m quitting my high paying job

For context, this is the highest paid job I've worked. I quit my last of ten years to work for another company. I had a string of issues at my last. That aside, my thought was I'd be in a better place with my most current. I had worked with my current supervisor at my last job before and understood how difficult she is. I've been working this job for two months and have had enough. I was constantly being yelled at and lectured for not learning fast enough and retaining the information. It takes me a few times to understand what I'm supposed to do and retain the information, especially when it's something new to me. Something brand new happened yesterday (2.22). I did as instructed per email. I get a phone call a little bit later. The tone of my supervisor's voice suggested she was red face screaming…


For context, this is the highest paid job I've worked.

I quit my last of ten years to work for another company. I had a string of issues at my last. That aside, my thought was I'd be in a better place with my most current. I had worked with my current supervisor at my last job before and understood how difficult she is.

I've been working this job for two months and have had enough. I was constantly being yelled at and lectured for not learning fast enough and retaining the information. It takes me a few times to understand what I'm supposed to do and retain the information, especially when it's something new to me.

Something brand new happened yesterday (2.22). I did as instructed per email. I get a phone call a little bit later. The tone of my supervisor's voice suggested she was red face screaming into the phone. She was absolutely livid with me because I didn't have the common sense to add details to the email. That's what did it for me. I was forcing myself not to break down on the phone while she was yelling.

I dont like being in constant anxiety. It's one reason I left my other job. I realized a few weeks ago I was listening for my supervisor's footsteps in the hall. I went into full panic mode when I did hear them. I should have turned my notice in then.

In leui of yesterday, I drafted my resignation letter. I have a good idea I will get some backlash, i.e., “this company put a lot of time and money into your employment”, “it's disappointing you're resigning. You were doing so well”. Worst case, I'll be terminated on the spot when I hand in my notice.
