Welp I quit my job!

While I was completely miserable at my job and wanted so bad to just walk out with no notice, I couldn't do it that way. I did the correct thing and gave my 2 week notice. They definitely $hitted bricks and offered me a crap ton to stay but no dice. I still decided to take a pay cut for a job opening at a smaller company that I could have less work volume but be more interactive in all phases of the field of work. The company is hiring 3 people to replace me and I was able to semi train one of them before my last day today.

I look forward to the next chapter in my life!

3 people to replace you? Seems like they were milking you for everything that you had. I can't stand companies who do not appreciate those who keep their heads down, open their mouths only when appropriate, and get tasks done.

Best of luck in the new chapter!

Bitter sweet. There was a few great people that I will miss and I know that thier job will get harder now that I am gone but at the end of the day it was the best thing for me and my family

Yes they were... Part of the reason I think they hired 3 is the anticipation of of at least 1 quiting.

Excellent decision. I always support quitting a job unless you owe me money.

Good for you .I have been interviewing lately and if I could find something that is even in the ballpark salary wise I would do the same. I salute your courage, I want so bad to tell them adios but I'm trying to wait for a at least the same salary, Buffalo sucks for careers.

Good for you, man. Congrats and good luck. Wesley Snipes may be a wise man (he isn't), but I say not to bet on black. Always bet on yourself.

Op walk into your company blasting this


Smack the hot chick in the office on the ass. Walk into your bosses office. Flip his desk over and take a leak on the paper work. Then walk out like a boss.

Well done OP! Good of you to give them 2 weeks. Sometimes more money isn't worth the headaches you have to endure.

Quitting a job you don't want anymore is so satisfying.......go reward yourself for taking control over your life and find a better place you'd rather be.

Never take a job based on money alone. Take a job based on the experience you'll gain. The money will follow.

Congrats!
