I hope everyone is doing okay. I wasn’t anxious about resigning my current job, but what would come during the two-week waiting period.
I called my supervisor at around the 10 am hour today. I began by explaining there was no easy way of saying it, but I made the decision to resign. She immediately asked if I had considered that the new person was going to start? Wait!? What!? “How is that my problem”, I thought? She asked three times if I had another job and I only said no. I was also told I should’ve said something sooner, huh? I understand now that I was ignored because I addressed my concerns with her three times. I’m chasing my tail, I’m doing most of the work compared to when I came on board when I agreed to do half of the work, it’s overwhelming and I’m stressed out. The supervisor was shocked to say the least. She asked for me to reconsider and wait to send my resignation letter until we met with the Director at 1 pm. Okay?
Once I make a decision, I won’t change my mind. I signed the new offer letter and sent it off to my future job. How can they continue to ask me to consider them and this job when no one asked if I needed help? Insane…
At 1 pm the meeting with the Director began. She has never had anything to say to me, has never stepped down to come and check on me before, no feedback so why should I believe anything she has to say? I credit her for acknowledging my work, apologized several times as she was explaining her vision for the future. Their solution once again that someone new was coming on board next week, offered no additional pay, bonus, no incentive days off and no additional support even though it’s all available to them, but I guess the incentive budget was already distributed. I repeated myself from earlier morning with the supervisor. She did offer to assist with wellness, but not much there to incentivize me. I was told they both have already done the job I’m doing; they can keep doing it then because I refuse to be stretched thin. I’ve been working for 20+ years and have worked hard. Just because I haven’t been with this employer the same number of years, doesn’t allow them to take advantage. I addressed with them if should’ve come across aggressive if that would suffice, but it’s also not the right way to address anything either. They both let it go and I submitted my resignation. All the Best!
