To make this short, I started my current job in June as I was dealing with health issues and was told this role would be more structured and less work than my previous consulting role. I really liked a lot about my last job but I wasn’t taking leave to get help and it just got out of hand.
However, it turns out it’s a ton of work!! In my first month I was doing 11-hour days and was still drowning. They filled up my workload well before I was trained (still not totally trained). The people are nice but I ended up reaching out to my old job who wrote me an offer to come back within the week. I start back in a couple of weeks.
I put in my two weeks notice on Friday, but I kind of want to make Friday my last day so I can have a week to relax. I’m just going to pretend this job never happened and leave a two month gap on my resume. It’s also a remote job on the other side of the country and I just know we won’t cross paths.
How should I word it? I’ll deal with the consequences and know it’s shitty to do in the professional world but between my health stuff finally being better and the mess of this, I just want a break. Thanks so much!
