People quit their jobs at an average of 2 years – 10/19/24

I hope everyone is doing okay. I was reading an article of why people quit their jobs and of course the main reason is their boss, no loyalty. When words have become just that, and a handshake is no longer a contract. Those days are gone. No one is a friend, and no one is going to do any more than they should.

No one goes to bat for you when you have been loyal, kept your word, and worked your butt off for them. You promote by who you know, not your skillset. I have to be kept here because I have been doing the work and staying silent, working diligently. It’s not a benefit to them that I get out, network, or mingle at this organization. I don’t think I can get ahead here or in this industry. If I want to promote or make more money I would have to separate/quit.

I have to step back a bit in order to reduce the stress which is not going above and beyond for others. I have been stressed, and no one is coming to rescue me, that’s on me. I’m still standing alone and continue to fight alone. I’m no longer going to cross the line to generosity because I’m the only one who has been giving.

I’m going to continue to be disappointed, not because I expect anything in return, but because no one even offers support or restructure to reduce my workload a little bit. There is no such thing as a team here. It forces you to stop caring and cut the cord to things that are no longer just. It no longer matters and only brings anger, but they are the ones who will be angry when I refuse and say no to taking on more which will stop benefitting them. I will do it on purpose since I now know who’s who.

I’m going to do things that work for me, and I won’t let them know since they didn’t care from the beginning. They think that giving me a 2% raise will keep me quiet, working diligently, and just content. I know my value, gotta keep going. All at my own time. All the Best!
