Mind is too stuffed with anger and annoyance and sheer despair that no post can be formulated tonight. Other than this post, that is ( Read more... )

Instead of waiting until February to quit, I would advise you to go ahead and inform your bosses that you don't intend to come back after your contract expires in December. That will probably make things easier for everyone. Is your workplace the sort where you communicate mostly by email? If so, you could send your letter of resignation by email to all five people who could possibly be your direct boss. That way, you won't have to actually talk to each of them unless they initiate a conversation ( ... )

My work place is the kind where everybody uses the mail to say something, then goes to closed room and says other things and makes secret teams and plans, then not tell about those things to other people except everybody knows and then those new things fall through because they were poorly planned. Yes. Uhm. I don't think resigning by mail would work... SADLY. I wish I could ( ... )

Quit! Don't explain! GET OUT OF THERE WHILE YOU STILL CAN. ABANDON SHIP.

lol, I just get the feeling that you'd be fine without this job. And since it sucks, don't wait.

THE SHIP IS INFESTED WITH RATS THAT DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE CHEESE. Uhm. Kind of!

I think I will be fine without this job as well. Other people aren't quite as certain as I am (that being my coworkers and my parents).. so it's scary but I also kind of.. don't really need to work to survive, given that I still live with my parents, and being miserable is sort of not working out. I do not like to suffer for my art -especially when it's useless art...

I don't know when I'll do it! X( I am having trouble choosing a time to do it, and I want to wait, but I know it won't get any easier over time...

1) Give plenty of notice. That's the fastest way onto the shitlist, is to leave with no notice ( ... )

I'm thinking two weeks notice should be enough... I never have work with that much time in advance, so I wouldn't leave any projects hanging. Though, I feel like 2 weeks as a dead man walking will be.. hellish ( ... )

I have no advice, I'm afraid, since I've never been in a situation like that. But I would say get out as soon as you can, if it's making you that unhappy. No job should do that. I guess I would also say that you're leaving for personal reasons - it seems like more of a clean break that way, and if you need to ask them for a reference or something in future then it would be easier then, I imagine.

*hugs* Whatever you do, remember that you are making the right choice for yourself, not anyone else. For you. And that's all that matters in the end. *snugs*

I really need to.. set a line I won't cross and just.. accept it. I hate the prospective of having The Talk with two of my bosses, the one that ignores me half the time and acts like he's my friend the other half and the one that treats me like garbage... *sigh* I guess just.. leaving for vague reasons will be more diplomatic. Though my coworkers know very well why I'm leaving... it was probably just the wrong time to enter the company, it's all paranoia and panic and a mess...

I'll try to do the thing I think is best for me. I really have to...
