Just want to share my story even though it’s such a mainstream one.
So yes, I am leaving my current work because of 2 reasons.
1/ I do not like the nature of the job and I didn’t know the exact the scoops of job until after the first week of training (it’s pure a cold calling job to be exact.)
2/ I have a boss that loves micromanaging me and stressing me out for the unrealistic monthly target that he set for me. He also doesn’t like the way I work even though it’s way more productive to me that way; so he makes sure for me to follow every step, the way like he liking. Despite how many times I told him, nothing changes. I also talked with senior managers about this problem. Instead of me getting help or advise, all I got is how they backed him up (He’s very passionate of his work?!?). With solely reason #1, I might still stay to work there longer just because I still hit target every month and the paid isn’t bad, it’s just reasons#2 creating so much unnecessary burnout and breakdown is a good solvent of why I decided to quit.
So, I told him I quit, and I guess he was shock and didn’t expect I would leave as he started to stutter. He kept asked many questions of why I quit, but always said “why you told me that, I don’t want to know”. Then he conclude the conversation with: “I think you need to think this throughout, because I think you’re making a big mistake and you will regret it.”
I was hesitant with my decision, but after hearing that, Idk why, but I was so happy and even more firm with my choice. I, with a big smile, saying that I thank him for being caring, but it is my final decision.
Is it a good or bad decision for my current situation? I don’t know. But will I regret it or not? I know I won’t regret it.
