Last year I left a 10 year career at one company to join a different that professionally was a good move on paper, but that's where it ended. I had prior knowledge of the company and everything I knew said it was the right move.
Probably no surprise about the consulting world, I was asked to lie to customers and steal their money in the name of billable hours. And the place internally was a train wreck of poor mgmt. After 6 six months of trying to make it work I told them it wasn't a good fit and that I was moving on; this was December 1st.
I gave them more than a months notice to ensure I could transition my 40 projects (was supposed to be no more than 20-30) Had written acceptance of my separation planned for January 10, 2022.
At a staff meeting on December 23, 2021 it was announced my last day was tomorrow. If I hadn't figured it out yet, I knew then I made the right decision.
