gave my 4 weeks notice yesterday

Ive worked so hard for this company for almost 12 years, doing countless hours overtime and always giving it my all, we had our first child last October, had 3 months off and came back to less hours. After 3 weeks i realised how awful the place is for my physical and mental well-being and handed in my notice today. Used a standard template for letter then added this to it in the hopes that he realises and make my coworkers work lives better I would like to explain some reasons why I am leaving: I feel my skills and commitment to this company are not fully appreciated. I have put in 12 years of my life there and I am tired of working so hard compared to others for little reward.

Job postings in LinkedIn flaunting the CO salary law

How IT is supposed to work

Just wanted to celebrate my job and give an example of how management is supposed to take care of you. I'm taking the AZ-900 cert test tomorrow evening, which is optional for my job, as an Engineer on an Application Hosting Team. ( the cert isnt necessary but since we're moving to Azure it looks good and is just generally a good thing to have under my belt) Not only is the test being paid for through my work, but my manager just gave me the day off to study and sleep, paid. Literally said “if you just need to sleep in to be ready for the test, go nuts. Just give a heads up to whatever meetings you're supposed to be in tomorrow”
