Background: I worked in franchise A for 3.5 years. In the last 1.5 years with them I moved across 3 different teams, as business units merged and structure changed a lot. I did not choose to move around. I did not get along with my last manager and resigned as she wanted to write me down for gossip.
I resigned and moved to franchise B. Awesome manager, we get along. It’s only been three months, I finally understand expectations and know my way around my new role. This role gave me 20%.
End of July I find out I can’t get a bonus because my last manager from A said I did nothing in my last 6 months with them and caused damage with gossip incident. This news I receive from my new manager in B. I did not care about the bonus, but I had hoped I would begin on a clean slate. I am ashamed this terrible mishap followed me.
At the same time I receive offer from a different company with 25% which is a management role. It would take me at least 4 years to reach this in my current role.
I have been unable to resign for the last 11 days. I feel bad for my new manager. I cannot bring myself to resign, I never left a job after 3 months. I feel so awful about telling her. I wasted resources, I feel.
I know I gotta go and start on a clean slate, learn and do better.
