I did not quit today....however...that being said, it's just a matter of time before I do. I'm not making any promises that one day next week that I just up and quit. I did not quit for 3 reasons....1) Money...while I've been worse off at times, I'm worried about not finding something right away. 2) Health insurance. I went ahead and got it through work. I had to go to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for the kidney and found out it's acting up again. I was put on reeeealy expensive meds. To be without insurance is an issue. 3) I hate leaving the few people I like in a lurch while our boss is out of the country. To leave 15 people without leadership, even though my skills are newly formed, is bad.
The plan is to look for another job, especially this weekend. I am actually finally going to get a day off here. After 11 straight through. Even if I somehow manage to make it through the next 6-8 weeks of this, I don't trust my boss anymore. The new boss's boss I barely know and ain't much better. I don't even want to get into details there, but I think I know more than he does at times. He can't keep days and time zones straight. I don't like the home situation. I don't like where I live.
No guarantees....if some of this bitching and griping and pointing fingers continues, I might just walk. If I got more money saved, could change my mind quick. Found out that QA's got a raise effective 2/1 today. So we get extra back pay there. Waiting for income tax refund. Got raise for this mess of a job, while not worth it, is more money. 2 weeks from now, may be enough.
I have the most of my belongings out of there. They will remain so. Only so much I can handle and the rope is getting thin. My boss told me once I deserved better....ya know, I'm in agreement now.
