Great news!!

But its something that anyone that knows me will be extremely shocked to hear.  What is it?!......

I quit my job Friday!  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 am starting first thing tomorrow 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!!

Re: Great news!!

  • Congratulations.

    I've realized that if I follow the morale a job gives me from doing it, the money will follow me. You'll be surprised at how quickly that pay cut disappears when you actually enjoy what you're doing.

  • I am so happy to hear this! I feel horrible when I hear about how crappy your boss is. Good luck and you will be fab!

  • I'm sorry that you had SUCH a horrible experience after 11 years, but it sounds like this is the best thing for you. I can't imagine being so miserable every day. I think the pay cut may end up being nothing when it comes to your happiness!
