Antiwork

Just left my job

12 and a half years. I never took a full week off until this summer. Still worked on vacation. Even when I was on vacation expected to be on call – construction project management. Worked every weekend. Finally got tired of being micromanaged and generally abused. Last straw was, received an email from owner asking a question, I was in the middle of closing a deal and then received a call from a customer on a job start, 10 minutes tops – received another email from owner still waiting??? Sent an email resigning and handed in my keys. Last 2 months I almost quit 6 or 7 times. Finally did. I have never felt calmer in my life. All my fault – it's been this way for a long time and never spoke up. Pretty small construction community and I have great contacts, I am not too worried moving forward.
