I posted this in another sub and one person linked me this sub so here goes!
So I have a somewhat nice boss, she listens etc. Helpful. I hate my job and I want to leave, I've been thinking about it for months. I do have a chance to switch jobs, haven't signed the contract yet.
I asked if I could quit at the end of July cause I want to try something new. She said objected as it's too soon. We talked a bit. Tried to negotiate. And at the end she gavee me some time to think and said that “I will be very disappointed if you decide to leave at that time”
Is that emotional extortion? I cried the rest of the day at work. I just realized that she might be trying to manipulate me through my feelings, guilting me into continuing.
Now I'm thinking that I kinda want to quit straight away as I will anyway want to quit at the end of July and I will be getting have from other coworkers (she said that she will have to cancel vacations, although I counted that if we have 4 people on vacation in August, and still have 8 people at work, things should be fine as there is so much slack in some sections of the workplace anyway)
What are your thoughts? Emotional blackmail? I'm off to work soon and thinking about what to do. I kinda feel like going “well, i think I'm gonna wanna quit straight away after thinking about it” 😀 but maybe I could try stick it out until the end of July..even if other coworkers might have me plus the boss.
