I’ve been dreaming of leaving this place since October and I finally have the next thing lined up. I have no idea how it’s going to go putting in my notice, they don’t have anyone ready to take my position and they still don’t really understand or respect the work I do for them. Part of me is upset that these assholes are going to talk shit about me after I’m gone. They say the girl who trained me “started on hormones and went crazy” when she was just sick of them fucking with her schedule when she had other obligations, the managers who leave never get a proper send off and are only spoken of in hushed tones when the c-suite is out of earshot, and they generally treat everyone leaving like the trash took itself out.
This is the first job where I’ve been sexually harassed (by someone I found out later did in fact do it to a bunch of other women in the office), the first job where I lost points on my review for other people’s behavior, the only job where management has forced me to call the cops on a person of color. They get so much unpaid overtime from me because I hate leaving things a mess for the next worker, and they don’t care. I’ve done so much to organize their insane department, and they don’t care. I don’t know if they’ll even want me working my two weeks. It would be so much better if rejection sensitive dysphoria was only triggered by people you respect, but I know this is going to suck. It’s worth it though. And the people I do care about I already have contact info for.
Wish me luck!
