this is what I did at my last job. I had been under an insane amount of pressure, working alone on a team that had 5 people when I started, with no one else in the company able to fully understand my work. management kept making these insane schedules and at the end there were like 4 quarterly project goals for other teams I had to support, plus being the only person able to properly interview for new people on my team. my last day a coworker was an arrogant asshole to me and it just pushed me over the edge. I was sitting at my desk at lunch, completely unable to imagine being there for one more minute, so I packed my shit, sent my resignation email, and fucking left that shithole for the last time.
I’m told things got worse after I left, partly because I was the only person left who could do my job, which is critical for the project. that kind of makes me happy. I hope they realize what they lost, but with how stupid management was I really doubt it. at least I’m better off getting away from all that.
