Antiwork

Feeling very guilty about resigning from my job even though I shouldn’t…

I think it’s a conditioning thing I really need to get out of. But I graduated in a tech subject a couple of years ago after working in care for over a decade. Care is pretty poorly paid with long hours and no benefits. So I am used to pretty shoddy treatment… but it’s why I decided to retrain. I have worked in my current tech job for just under a year and got approached by a rival company. They offered 25% more money and better benefits plus remote working. I can’t logically turn it down. I had to quit my current post today. I felt huge amounts of guilt over it. My boss was obviously disappointed but says he understood and they were going to advertise my post ASAP. I need to condition myself to worry about companies less.
