Anyway, I met with my old boss today and have a lot of options and hes more than happy to help me. Including getting me higher pay/title. Well talk about it more when my husband gets home today. I am leaning towards quitting Monday morning though.

Awesome! The amount of stress you've posted about isn't healthy for anyone. I mean, you're having to rely on CE to vent. That's a sign. A sign of...something. I dunno.

Get a happier yet hopefully still well paid job with people you enjoy and leave that soul-sucking vacuum of an employer behind.

He asked me to do something this morning. Very simple task and no big deal. By noon he messaged me and said when he asked me to do it, it was meant to be immediate and started badgering about how it had been a few hours already. It is seriously something very minor, nothing was on fire, but he went nuts that I didnt do it immediately when he asked me. Its not like he gave me some specific timeline or said it was urgent. Also hes supposed to be on vacation.

His message and use of caps was fairly rude needless to say.

Its a company of Vince McMahons dude.

Yesterday I got crapped on for escalating a situation where another sales person tried stealing my client for the third time. We escalated this same client a month ago and she was told to back off. Then she went behind my back yesterday and tried to take them. When I escalated it I was told to be an adult and grab the phone and talk to her and got totally berated via email. Ive already talked to her and she pretends the conversation never even happened. Chick is legit nuts. But Im the one who is wrong somehow

I should have listened to all the people who told me this company is toxic. Theyre a big name and I thought it was worth having it on my resume. At least their reputation is so awful none of my interviewers worry about me leaving so soon and they make fun of them during the interview.

Got an email, my reference check is clear. They want a call on Monday! Im hoping they will offer what Im asking for.

Its just tricky because my preference is to go where my boss is going but hes not starting for a few weeks. He said he would be able to hook me up with a solid offer though and possibly better title. And it would be a full time job with benefits I need. This one is a contract job. But I wont really know anything until he starts. And nothing is ever real until its on paper.

I still really like this other company though. I dont want to lose out on this either so hopefully they will give me enough time to decide.

And Im still considering my last company.

What doooo

Might do that if I can line up another offer or something. I dont even know if they will offer what Im asking for since its a lot higher than the range they gave me.

Ive been getting major anxiety about quitting. Havent slept in days. Even though my husband supports me now and says well make it work,
I cant help but feel horrible about walking away from a lot of money. Feels like Id be taking a very expensive vacation to stay home.

I was recently promoted. They offered a 10% increase and I asked for 16% thinking I'd get 13%.

Ended up actually getting the 16% increase so it doesn't hurt to request it, especially if you can justify it with comparable wages and etc for similar positions in your area.

Yeah Im basically asking for $10/hour more than the highest number in their range. So I dont want to go back and ask for even more unless I have something tangible to leverage lol

There's nothing I could say which hasn't already been said by others in this thread so I'll just say good luck with the transition. I was in a similar position to you at some point when my wife wasn't working (and she left her job to follow me and my career aspirations... again) and I know that it put her under alot of pressure/stress, but once she found something she enjoyed, the relationship improved alot again.

Got my first offer and they matched my salary requirements! They said my reference check went great and based on the interview feedback, they felt I was worth the ask. Unfortunately I only have a few days to decide (they didnt want to give an extension) and the other opportunities Im contemplating are still early phases. I get the feeling they are looking to close me out quick sigh.

Standard is two weeks but I doubt they will keep me. In my field they typically just let you go when you quit and try to give notice

Then it comes down to are you willing to give it a decent shot. Everyone will have their ups and downs so you need to make sure you're really going to make an effort then otherwise you'll always have the "I can just quit" mentality and it'll be reflected in your attitude at work.

Maybe so but I am not looking to settle and if my other opportunities dont work out, there will be others. Its a lot of money and a great place but my preference would be any of the other 2 Im in process with. I feel like its worth the risk because I want my next place to be long term.

Its a great offer. But I have the option of going back to my old job with possibly of a pay/title bump. They have been hurting pretty bad since I left. At least there I will know what Im getting into and my clients love me.

The other option I have is that my old boss is joining another company in a few weeks and he essentially told me he would hire me on his new team in a heartbeat and already has the headcount. He just needs to start first. This is my preference because I know we made a great team and this company has amazing benefits. The other role is contract.

Its done CE! Sent the resignation email. My boss had a talk with me and hes pretty sad Im leaving but agreed on why and said he knew the environment is rough and not for everyone. He was happy I even gave a two week notice. So at least I will get paid while doing very little as I transition things. Ill be paid out my vacation time as well which is another week. So that should help ease financial anxiety as I line up my next job.
