And I can’t be more excited about it.
They say people quit their managers, not their jobs. This is 100% true for me. I actually enjoy what I do, and this company in general is an OK place to work. However, I have been putting up with the worst boss of my career so far. He has constantly put me down, refused to acknowledge my achievements and growth, and every single 1:1 we’ve had has been him telling me how bad I am at my job… but he needs me to do XYZ.
Well, I just signed an offer from a company who will pay me 30% more, better benefits and perks, and most importantly, don’t think I “can still be an awesome software engineer if I just try to put in more effort and have a sense of urgency”.
Fuck you boss, I quit. Bet you didn’t plan to come back on Monday from your vacation to my resignation letter?
