The crappy job: I'm a Criminal Defense Private Investigator in a shitty city you have heard of. I have a degree and only make $19.15 an hour after 2 1/2 years. I started at $15. If I want to take off work after PTO days are used, I have to work 8 hours overtime and “bank” those 8 hours for one day off regular pay.. (yes you read that right). In my two and a half years of working here, I have been held a gun point, sent to trap houses, and I've been cussed out routinely by witnesses and victims. I defend your local Rapist and Murders. I hate my job..
Anyways: I. Am. Leaving. I have too for my sanity. I only make 39k after two and a half years – I was told they cannot pay me “50k” now but “maybe when the company grows” – I have no 401k and only 2 PTO days your first year. I was 21, newly graduated, and ignorant when I got this job.. I'm now 24 and realized I can make $50k as a paralegal and I wont have to leave the office or work directly with child rapist and murderers.
I FEEL SO GREAT QUITTING. I have a job offer from another firm. I would start in September.
How do I get past telling my boss I'm quitting. I'm giving a three weeks notice.. I just wish I wouldn't be such a cry baby about it. Why am I even stressing? I want to quit. I just know my boss is about to guilt trip me and it's going to be awful for the next three weeks..
