For the people who were asking for an update!
I took a lot of your advice into consideration and did not even give a notice. I just sent an immediate resignation. I waited till my paperwork with HR was confirmed to be done at my new job before I walked out. I said goodbye to a handful of other coworkers and just went to go hang out with family. I have been taking a little vacation before I officially start on Monday.
For all the people assuming I am a man, work at a fortune 500 company or in corporate… I am a female and I was working in non-profit. A very toxic npo as well.
My former employer took a whole day to acknowledge my resignation and just said they were “sad to see me go” but I know I caught them off guard. They are trying to keep it a secret at work but people notice my Slack account was disabled so I have been getting messages and phone calls from coworkers. They were all proud of me and wished they could do the same.
This caught everyone off guard. I was sitting in meetings that morning talking about the future because I wanted to make it less suspicious that I was leaving.
To all the bootlickers on my last post who wished that my job offer fell through so I could “learn a lesson” or that I'm “burning bridges”, you are actually so vile. There is no bridge I need to run back to, these are two different industries lol I worked in higher education for about 6 years before I made the transfer into nonprofit because I was passionate about the mission.
I soon found out that my CEO and management cared more about themselves and the donors than the people we served. I waltzed back into higher education and was welcomed back with a bigger pay.
I don't regret anything and I feel so alive. As Karl Marx once said, “You have nothing to lose but your chains!”
