UPDATE My corporate job has been ruining my life for six years, totally burnt the fuck out. I now have a chance to run away but feel guilt for the possibility of just quitting w/o notice.

Original: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/suc6gv/my_corporate_job_has_been_ruining_my_life_for_six/ So it's been a bit over a week and things got interesting. I've ghosted jobs before but never had this happen. Last Friday, I grabbed my favorite mug, cleaned out my desk, and wrote up an “I quit” email saying specifically that for my boss, and as habit, I often use “send later”. I really should have just not done anything but my boss is kinda nice to me but I am starting to think I did not hit send later out of pure adrenaline of just leaving this god-awful job.

So they like blew up my phone with phone calls and texts (did not listen to all the voicemails, read the emails, nor texts) this WHOLE WEEK and contacted my emergency contacts which neither replied back to. Last night, my boss' boss WENT THROUGH MY relatively inactive INSTAGRAM to try and talk to me which I block non-friend messages and have it set to private. I don't have much in a means of social media but I am nonetheless creeped the fuck out that I was found. Let's hope it does not escalate.

But the good news is I left this shitty job for a unionized barista job. Week in and I'm so much happier, way better fit for me. NEVER BE AFRAID TO BAIL.

TL;DR: Said bye bitch, it's like breaking up with an obsessive ex. Good fucking riddance.
