I got offered a better position in a better industry. I currently work a sales job that is 100% remote. It’s very high pressure, high ticket sales (that I’m currently working).
My start date for the next position is about 3-4 weeks out, and I have accrued about 2 weeks of sick time at my current position.
I’m totally checked out of my current job, and I would really love to take the next few weeks off.
There is currently a TON of pressure at the current position and I just don’t feel connected, since I’m leaving. Otherwise, good company and good people.
I have a great relationship with my current company and they’ve treated me quite well, been patient with me over my 1.5 years here, and overall quite easy-going outside of high-pressure sales targets.
Would it be scummy to use all my sick time and resign immediately upon returning, claiming “I feel too disconnected” at this point and I am going to resign.
What are your thoughts? Doubtful I would attempt to return to the current position ever. Excited for the new position.
