I quit my job.

The company is certainly in a rough spot. In the past 5 months 3 people have quit and 3 have been fired. All good workers who have gotten fed up with where we've been headed. All in leader positions in from all departments. Some fought back aggressively and were canned, some of us just bailed.

I had planned to turn in my notice on a Friday, but at the end of the day Thursday one of the Project Managers quit, stormed out and said he'd use up his vacation (2 days) and be back on Tuesday to finish out two week. They decided not to let him work out his two weeks. It was dramatic. They kept insisting that his attitude meant that he was hostile and they couldn't let him come back, and that he wouldn't be eligible for Unemployment. Happily, I've spoken to him since, he is getting unemployment.

I turned in my notice the following Monday.

They let me work out my two weeks and tried to get me to stay quite a bit. Offered another raise (still lower than the lowest amount promised 4 months ago), asked me to stay on part time, asked me to come back to train when they find a replacement.

Ultimately I feel like they wasted my last two weeks, I offered multiple times to meet and go over everything I'd been working on, but it kept getting put off. I have also refused to go back in since my time ended.

It's been so nice to not have to worry about it anymore.

I've also talked to a few companies doing something similar, and prospects are good.

But in the meantime I'm trying to spend more time with photography and enjoying being at home a little. Been able to get a lot more cleaning done : )
