I have health conditions and due to this I prefer to work remotely.
This job is remote as long as I am meeting quota minimum. So that’s what I’ve been doing. Even if that means working after I clock out (over time is not allowed). So most days I work after I clock out to make sure I get the minimum done.
I’ve been here 6 months. There was a couple times I didn’t meet the minimum and was warned that I’ll get moved back to the office, which is a nightmare to even think about with my condition. I tried explaining that I work after I clock out but that was dismissed like I never said it.
So I’m just over here thinking I am inadequate. Everyone else has been working here over 5+ years and I just suck and don’t seem to be improving. The work is overwhelming. Things in my personal life right now are overwhelming.
So, I was referred a fully remote job by an old colleague. Sounds a lot more manageable. Less pay but also less responsibilities. Cool. I’m in.
I tried giving two weeks and was told to think about it. Thought about it, told them its my last week.
I got a call from the manager and was told this is so shocking because I was doing so well. I am even getting a bonus. I was one of the best. Just stuff that completely shocked me. I’m over here thinking I’m inadequate and will be forced back to the office any day now.
Now I am feeling like a jack ass for leaving somewhere I was apparently thriving.
I feel like shit. I feel dumb. If anyone mentioned that I was apparently doing “soooo well,” I’d probably not be quitting now. Or maybe I’ll be glad I did because I’m so extremely overwhelmed by the work. Idk. Sorry you read this.
