I gave in my resignation letter after 6 years. I knew for months I had to make a departure. Without giving too many details, I work at a school. My reason for leaving was mainly the pay (along with other gripes).
I worked hourly and my pay has not increased in 3 years. My check has been the same exact amount since 2020. If I want more, I have to put in hours and they usually make you jump through hoops to get a few extra hours. My job has also started to include tasks that aren't mine. I work in a teaching capacity, but I have also worked as an IT specialist, graphic designer, workshop host, and state exam administrator.
I knew it was time to go when I started leaving work early and generally just became uninterested in my tasks. I felt overworked, used, and unappreciated. My supervisor would take weeks to respond to emails and even then he was of little assistance. So before I completely ruined my reputation and ethic as an employee, I decided to step away.
Funny, when I requested more hours he ignored my email for two weeks. I send in my resignation letter and I get a response in 48 hours. He wants to talk. About what? I don't know. Is it a trap? Do I talk to him in the event I need a future reference and to maintain professionalism? I'm 100% sure I won't go back, but what is the conversation for?
I also did not give a two week notice. My job is contractual so I just didn't renew my contract.
