Hey guys,
26M here. I work as a manager but definitely have been picking up more workload than I should nowadays because the company is expanding fast, though my job is pretty chill overall.
I am so bored and tired of my job and I actually really don’t like it. I got decent work life balance and the pay doesn’t hurt but it’s not that much. I’m just so unmotivated to do whatever I’m supposed to do like inventory, and a whole bunch of other shit.
I would quit for sure and I’ve been looking at jobs and am planning to interview in another company in the next week, better pay, also a managerial position but in a company that is more in line with what I want to do.
Anyway the reason I feel so guilty is because my job hired me while I was on probation (drug related offences, but not on my official record thankfully) so because of them I had a pretty great life and am thankful, but I don’t know how long I can do this for anymore. It’s been over a year and a half since I joined.
I know I don’t owe my boss anything legitimately but I also feel bad if I leave now because the expansion is underway and she did say she need all the help she can get. Sometimes she’s super unreasonable but on the other hand I’m like, yeah if I owned a company I would want things done a certain way so while I don’t like doing what I do I don’t totally blame her for being how she is.
Don’t really know what other details to give, anyone got any advice? I was thinking of just scheduling an interview with the other job which I’m quite positive I’ll get (very qualified) and talking to them about a later start date and doing my best to find a replacement.
