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.

Story Time:

When I was a sheltered child I went to a private Christian school that I hated from kindergarten to sixth grade. In the second week of the sixth grade I was so tired of it that I just walked home during lunch instead of going inside when the bell rang. It took me hours to walk home, and in the meantime, the school had not informed my mother I was missing and instead the principle was looking for me at places like McDonald’s because he figured that’s where a kid would go. When I got home I told my mom why I left and then about thirty minutes later the school called and she read them the riot act about not informing her that her son was missing and that I had come straight home because the school was the problem and their hesitance to tell her that her son was missing was further evidence that the school was the problem. I was in public school the following week, where I got made fun of on my first day because I didn’t know what a “boner” was (fuck you Josh).

Anyway, yeah, you can totally just leave shit. It actually works.

So the next time your coach tells you to “walk it off” just keep walking.

just walk Mr/Ms skellington and leave your flesh prison behind
