Hi there, looking for some help. I have never quit a job before, but I’m burnt out and ready to move on. For context, I work with adults with special needs and they’re great. I like my coworkers. Management is fine at best. But I’ve worked here for a year and a half, am overqualified for my job, and never got the title they promised me.
I’ve been working as a program lead rather than an assistant to the Program Manager which they hired me as in 2021. I have a masters degree and am overqualified for my position – I only took it because it was the sole offer I had after a year of job searching after graduating in 2020 during the pandemic. I have taken new roles whenever they asked and bent over backwards to help in every way I could.
I have made my case several times in the last few months and no word from management on an official job description (I don’t have a new one yet after a 3rd title change 6 months ago). I even presented 5 projects I could see myself working on in 2023 and never heard back. That was 2 months ago.
I am planning to put my 2 weeks in on Friday. I have a great support system behind me. But I’m scared. I don’t want to burn bridges, but I know they will paint this as blind siding them. I’m scared of the pushback and am feeling a lot of guilt. I’m medicated for social anxiety issues and I’m freaking out over how the next two weeks will look. Any advice or words of wisdom? Thank you for reading and letting me vent, this subreddit has opened my eyes to a lot and has been an influence on my realizing it’s time for me to leave.
