f/u: Suck it, Suckas!

Sooooo, I took Dr. Loretta's advice.  I gave my notice to my immediate manager and to HR.  

Me: Here are ________ (returning items belonging to firm). And here is my two-weeks notice.

Manager: Uh. Did you find another job?

Me: I did.

Awkward silence.

Manager: We're sorry to see you go.

Me: (eyes roll out of my head  and onto the floor in my mind)  Thank you.

My exit interview has already been scheduled.  All is good.  I think.

I have not spoken to my Director.  She has not even reached out to me.  Is this weird?  I keep hating her more and more.  I know it's petty, but she is the primary reason why I'm leaving. UGH!

I have got to let this roll off my back.  This job has been so stressful.

Don't worry, I'm working on it.
Get it on!

Re: f/u: Suck it, Suckas!

  • I'm totally not stalking you, but earlier this week I was wondering"Hmm, I wonder if ClaireHux got that job she interviewed for awhile ago?" And then, just now, I was bored on ML, and trying to avoid writing my performance review and clicked on 9 to 5, and here's your update...

     Congratulations! I know how much of a relief it is to escape a toxic situation. I would love to be a fly on the wall in your exit interview! Well, only if you're going to be honest:-).

  • Thanks so much!  I really appreciate it.  I'm so happy to finally be outta' there! :)

  • Lol.  I like the title of this post. 

    Congrats on the new job and leaving one you hate!  I know how much of a relief that must be.  FWIW, I quit my last job for similiar reasons (an awful supervisor) and he never reached out to me either, even after I put in years of hella hard work.  I wasn't surprised though, and I don't think it's out of the norm for some people.  Just keep your head held high and don't let it get to you.

    Good luck with the new job! 

  • congrats, claire!  i'm so happy for you!

    what will you be doing now?

    i think it's unprofessional that your director hasn't spoken to you about your departure, but i'm not surprised (most of the managerial folk i have worked with are totally inept when it comes to dealing with people).  i'm sure she/he is just bitter :)

  • I'm so happy you got the job!  I guess this means they gave you the official offer.  It was so awkward quitting my last job, too.  My boss basically gave me the silent treatment until I left.  Just don't worry about it, you're only going to be there 2 more weeks :)

    Congrats on the new job and giving notice!

  • Yes, I finally got the formal offer!  I don't know why I'm still so bothered, but you are all right, I'll just let it go.

  • A shame that supervisors, bosses and directors and those in authority can't be polite ladies and gentlemen about an employee's resignation.
  • Congrats! It's so nice to tell them to suck it suckas! Drinks Cheers to Claire!
  • Claire!

    I missed the formal offer!!! CONGRATS!
