RESIGNATION IS DONE!

Catchya fucking later.

(I still have 4 weeks notice though lol)

Edit: the person I've been seeing is taking me out to dinner to celebrate. Absolute legend!

they actually want you to see out your notice?! Really?! I'd be politely pointing out that if a customer asks why your departing you wouldn't be comfortable lying. That should solve that problem fairly quickly!

Dude the new manager still doesn't know what my job is exactly, or what it entails lol

He's asking me in my fucking resignation meeting about it 😂

And you're right. That's a good point. I'll bring it up in the stand up tomorrow morning.

the owners must have noticed by now something is very wrong with how the company has been run

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Apparently they're cool with it.

It's owned by venture capitalists. So they're stripping it of staff ,and offloading all the work onto whoever is left.

They're also telling staff to get as many projects signed off as soon as possible to make them look good to a buyer I presume.

Fucking oath man

Yay!

Just don't burn down your bridges just incase. I've seen some weird times where it's come back to bite people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Totally. I've been very professional and am preparing my handover notes over the coming weeks.

This whole thing is going to fuck over my favourite people at this place, so want to make it as easy as possible.

It's such a shame but you come first!

I'm genuinely going to miss them, and hope to maintain contact with a couple of them. The representative of one of the clients I work with wants to go and get some drinks sometime before I leave. I thought that was pretty cool!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

WOOOOO!!!!!

How'd they take it? It's probably all old hat for them by this point.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think they thought I was bluffing.

And the new manager seemed to be on the back foot during the meeting.

He kept asking me a bunch of questions about what my job is lol
