Finally quit my truly awful job! A Saga!

I started working in September 2017, after being out of work for several years due to mental health issues. I applied at a gas station/convenience store in my area that had some truly wonderful coworkers. We went through 3 managers, 2 district managers and were typically short staffed.

We were open from 5am-12am and the robbery happened right before 8pm. Management and our district manager at the time showed up, along with police, etc. By the time the police left, it was just about 11pm.

It was very difficult and demanding work that they could charge very well for.) I have my annual review and my managing partner said she really went to bat for me and they have decided to promote me to the next level,…

I’m resigning on Monday

I accepted a position with a different IT company in my local area for an increase of salary and an increase of vacation benefits. I'll be turning in my notice to my job at the university where I work. I just wanted to tell someone since I've had to keep it a secret through negotiations.
