Today is the one year anniversary of the day I quit a job on the spot (something I’ve never done in my 10 years of working) and it was sooo nice listening to the voicemail the owner left me BEGGING me to call her back so we could talk about it (yes I saved it lol) I used to work for a doctors office and this place I worked was family owned and they had at least 10 clinics. They were always playing catch up with having enough staff because the owners wife was a hugeeee bitch and was never friendly to anyone unless she needed something from you. I was hired for a location really close to my house and it was convenient because I always find jobs that the drive is no more than 15min. The longer I worked there the less staff they had so I saw myself being asked to travel to other locations sometimes 40-50min drives not in traffic because they needed help and didn’t have staff.. I didn’t argue much at the time and wanted to be a team player so I did my fair share of helping other locations but then I started to become the scapegoat to send to far out offices and it was getting ANNOYING to say the least but I loved my coworkers and stuck it out. One day I woke up feeling like complete shit and sent an email to the owners wife since she was covering attendance while the usual attendance person was on vacation. Mind you I wasn’t one to call out and this was my first time in months. She responded to my email saying “Next time you have a problem with the schedule call me don’t email me. If you’re feeling better as the day goes by I need you to come in and work on this and that” (she made a list) then she goes “also I’m short staffed at these two other locations so I’ll need you to head to the those offices too and do inventory” That was the straw that broke the camels back to say the least.. I was still in bed that morning and looked over to my husband and said “I want to quit my job.” He looks at me and says “you want to quit? Okay. Let’s quit your job” and helped me type up a resignation letter that said “effective immediately due to your lack of care and empathy for your employees” and I responded to her email with that. Not even an hour later she’s blowing up my phone begging me to call her so we can “talk about it” and then proceeded to ask all my coworkers to try and talk to me into answering her calls (they didn’t bother) but man was it so refreshing to quit knowing they NEEDED me.
