Well I just resigned... (Anyone need a job?!)

Lordy that sucked.  One CW is crying, another is pissed, and my boss was actually expecting it and is happy for me.

Anyone need a job?  They need an admin/bookkeeper stat, I just left them high and dry...  

I feel like such a terrible person...  Tongue Tied

  • So did you get the other job? Did you at least let them know, like when you posted that post about quitting? I feel bad for them but you have to do what you have to do. And yeah, I know someone who needs a job.

    Oh don't feel that way. You're not leaving them high and dry, you gave them a 2 week notice! They'll be fine. Companies do this all the time...they'll get through it.

    I also had quitting jobs..it's never fun!

    No, this is the first they've heard of it.  I could not risk losing this job if the new job didn't pan out.  

    I'll send you a message on FB about the job.

    That sucks but you said your boss was expecting it and is happy for you, so that is good. Good Luck with the new job and thanks for sending the info.

  • Awww, yeah that's never fun!  But at least you gave them 2 wks notice.  I thought you meant you were done today when you said you left them high & dry.  Good luck on the new job!  I hope it's sooo much better than this one.  Like Jenn said, you've gotta do what's best for you.  They'll find someone else.

  • Awe it is an aweful feeling but seriously it goes away the minute you start your new job! Are you taking any time off between jobs? Where's the new job at? Congrats Taylor!!!

  • Don't sweat it!  You're doing what you need to do for you and your family!  Congratulations on the new job!  What will you be doing?
  • My last day is Sept. 3, and I start at my new job on Sept. 7, so I have Labor Day weekend to unwind. 

    I'm going to be an underwriting assistant, Idk if I should say the company name on here...  I am so excited and thankful for this opportunity.  My mom is an AVP there, so we'll get to carpool and do lunch daily!  The salary is substantially higher, full benefits and PTO.  I am in heaven.   Thank you everyone for the support.  Smile

  • i'm so happy for you, congratulations!!! i know it sucks to quit, especially something really small like where you are now. my job before usaa was a very small company, i did a ton around there and tooting my own horn here but i know they still haven't found anyone that will take care of things like i did. i keep in contact with them and they know if they ever need me for anything i'd be happy to help. the only thing that matters is that you're leaving on good terms.

    so happy for you!

  • Yay!  Congrats on the new job!  I know it's tough quitting, and with it being such a small company, that made it even more difficult.  But you need to do what's best for you & your family.  You're leaving on good terms, you gave them the 2 week notice... you're doing everything right!  Just try to keep that in mind.  THIS is the best move for you & Casey!

    How exciting for you! 
  • That sounds fabulous!  

    Woo hoo! 

  • You have no reason to feel bad giving two weeks notice! 

    Congrats on the new job!  I hope it's awesome for you!

  • Congrats on the new job!!!
  • I congratulated you in person : ) But I'll say it again!!! CONGRATS!! woooo!!! Yay for a job upgrade!

  • Congrats! I know it sucks but you can't feel bad. At least you gave them two weeks, so many people don't know-a-days. You are doing the right thing for you and two weeks notice certainly isn't high and dry. They will find someone, plenty of people are in need of jobs right now.
  • Yee-haw Tay!  I'm excited for your new adventure in career building :D
  • I'm sending you a PM about the job.
