I need help wording an email I need to send to turn-down an offer already accepted because I now I have a better one somewhere else 😭

I was hired by a company that is paying me a ridiculous amount of money to do my job, but they lied to me, they lied to all of the new hires. This isn’t underwriting, this is a call center. We aren’t even allowed to answer coverage questions when the agents call. The call volume is INSANE - like 70+ calls a day. There’s no actual underwriting happening, and I don’t know what to do. The money is great, but the job is a joke. I’ve been here for 2 months and I want out. Advice?

I have had an opportunity presented to me to make a switch from the underwriting desk to the agency side as a producer. To my surprise the base pay is equal, however the producer obviously has new and renewal commissions. Am I nuts to leave my strict 40 hour weeks behind for a chance in the sales world? Anyone else make the switch for better or for worse?

So, I started watching “Limitless” with Chris Hemsworth. Apparently, he found out he carries both genes for dementia which puts him at a higher risk. So the series is about him changing things in his life for longevity. The third episode is about fasting and he fasts for 4 days until the day he has to hunt for his food. Does anyone in healthcare have thoughts on this type of fasting? I know it is done in some cultures and religions, but to what extent?

My SO and I make $250k+ on our bases salaries, no children, & we made 80k in bonuses last year. I’m only 5 years out of college and we live in a MCOL. My friends and even family are always telling me how successful I am and proud they are of me. I feel so weird. I never know how to respond. I’m the same normal person and anybody can do what I do with enough hard work. Does that happen to you? Is it bc I’m a career driven woman? How do you respond to remarks like that? Cont...

Signed an offer and am about to quit my current gig but my new employer asked me to wait until the background check clears before resigning. I worked abroad for a year, so I’m worried the international aspect will slow it down. I’m absolutely miserable with some bananas deadlines coming up that I’d rather not be around for, anyone have any timelines of how long their background checks took?
