First thing, the company I'm working for was acquired by another larger company in the same industry about 4 months ago.
My new employers have been working my colleague and I to the bone to keep ontop of sales as well as inputting a huge data migration/ update. It's been effecting my life outside of work ontop of my sleep and mental health.
My partner and I have now decided to move cities for a better lifestyle resulting in handing in my 4 weeks in notice. My colleague has since decided to do the same. I haven't got anything lined up as we've got enough savings to last a month comfortably at least. And this is probably the only time in my life I'll get to be be unemployed and not feel guilty about it.
But today work pulled a last minute effort to keep me on part time remotely to “continue the data migration” as my colleague and I are the only 2 who can successfully perform the data migration accurately. The job is rather brainless for me, but they would be pretty screwed to have someone else attempt it.
Am I too much of a nice guy for considering the role? The job has nice perks and pays decent. But I was so looking forward to dropping everything and moving on.
Can someone please just tell me it's ok to leave them in a massive shambles and not ever feel guilty about it.
