I did it! I quit! My job had basically been my dream job for years. I was being promoted through the company, I was doing excellent work, my clients thought I was amazing. Everything was coming up Milhouse!
And then management changed. I made another post a while back about how I didn't get promoted. A girl who had been at the company for a year got promoted over me with five years, because she was willing to do free labor and I wasn't.
I started job searching. I had a handful of interviews with one job. I was in despair. I cried myself to sleep at night. I screamed at my computer. I was miserable. I was being expected to help the new girl along with her work, the same work that I was told I wasn't good enough for. I drew some hard boundaries and my company hated it.
The people on my team started dropping like flies. We couldn't get anyone through training. I was expected to make trainers appear out of the sky, when that's not really a thing that can happen.
I had an interview and almost backed out. My transport was late, I was convinced I was going on the wrong day. No way they'd hire me. I went anyway, telling myself it was good practice.
I accepted the job offer today. I handed in my resignation, and all hell has broken loose at my current job. I gave them one weeks' notice, for my clients benefit and not the company.
In one week, we've managed to lose seven people. We were under staffed to begin with. I was one of two people on my team who could train, and the only one in my specialty. And now they're screwed. They're panicking and unsure what to do.
Know what though? Not my problem. I remember my manager telling me I 'lacked initiative.' Oh, word? Guess I found some and got a new job. At least two of my clients have said if I'm not working with them, they're not longer interested in working with the company. So that's awesome.
