I wasn’t sure if this belongs here but I need some advice or some insight. I have seen all of your posts and support for one another and I was curious if anyone else went through the same thing?
My job was absolutely terrible. I was working at my university (while studying) and I could write for days about my negative experiences. Our director was spineless and oftentimes other departments would bulldoze us because he never advocated for his employees.
I became very close will all my supervisors. I’ve gone to their birthday parties, played boardgames, etc. the only problem was our director. We had a pact and would always protect each other from our boss “The Gremlin”.
The time has come for me to find an internship (which I secured this morning), I told my work that I would be finished at the end of this semester which is in a week and a half. I snagged an internship interview and got it. After I left the interview I sent an email saying I wouldn’t be finishing up as I was starting my internship next week.
Nobody has reached out to me and I know they’re waiting for me to say something. I love these people and I just don’t know what to say as I have never left a job like this. My degree is top priority and I have to do this internship.
I don’t know why I feel so guilty. I’m taking the next step to graduate but I kind of feel shitty about it. Should I even care? I’m trying to be excited for my new internship but I feel like I went through a breakup today.
TL;DR
I feel guilty for abruptly quitting my job this morning because my supervisors are my friends. I haven’t heard from them and don’t know what to say. (Sorry my summary is garbage)
