No one will believe this...
But its something that anyone that knows me will be extremely shocked to hear. What is it?!......
I quit my job yesterday! I've vented here multiple times about how much of a dictator my boss is; how manipulative and greedy he is; how mean and accusatory, etc. I got sick of it. My long time coworker quit about 4 weeks ago and things got so much worse that I ever could've imagined. My boss completely ignored my being honest when I said I didn't want to take over his work on top of everything else I was doing. I had an opportunity offered to me when I wasn't even looking and after H and I sat down for weeks figuring out if we could do it (it will be a paycut), we decided it would be stupid for me to not accept it. I should be starting first thing this coming Monday at the new place (after my boss completely ticked me off not giving me any choice but a 6 month time frame for him to try and hire and train someone else!!) and I'm so excited. I thought I would be freaking out, scared but so far I feel great. Like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I'm nervous and scared for such a huge change (I was at the other place for over 11 years!!), but I know deep down in my heart this was the right thing to do. I can't wait to start the new job. Eeeeeeeekkkkkkk!!!

Not very well. He started off begging me for 20 mins. to stay, asking me to reconsider, etc. Then when I wouldn't give him a minimum of 6 months notice for him to find someone else to hire and train, he turned very belligerent and started yelling at me. At that point, I shut down and said fine then since we can't come to an agreement on how long I will be here, I guess today is my last day. He would NOT back down on the 6 months and since things have done nothing but get progressively worse over the years, there was no reason for me to stay. He has NEVER asked anyone to stay; in fact when you quit, you are told to leave immediately, so I didn't expect anything different to happen.
I know it was the right thing to do; I have absolutely no regrets so far. It will be an adjustment on many levels for sure, but a good one no doubt!!
Thanks for all of the support and words of encouragement!! I'm excited!
Wow. 6 months is ridiculous. No one stays for 6 months after giving notice! His reaction with completely unprofessional.
And good for you for following your gut and doing what feels right.
