I’m so fed up with my job. I’ve been producing the work that will support their highest generating product, so I know I’m important. Everyone else has quit and I’ve only stuck around because I’m trying to get my ducks in a row first.
I’m almost at my last straw. I told them I was going to need time off for a life event (I gave them a very close time range and the number of days I’d need) and they were soOoOo supportive of it until I gave them the exact dates. Now they’re whining that it’ll be too hard because it’s close to when they need to take advantage of me some more.
This isn’t negotiable. I am telling, not asking. I’m considering quitting if they push the issue. I’m meeting with my boss tomorrow and might just say as much.
They’ve used and abused me AND they think they have leverage here? Dream on. I only wish I wasn’t juggling multiple other stressful life events right now. I’ve had multiple places reach out to me unprompted, but I don’t have the bandwidth to pursue them. Maybe it’s time to make time.
