How your manager "takes it" honestly should not be part of your decision-making. I have quit a job after 1 month and another after 7. At the end of the day, you cannot choose someone's feelings over your future. That manager, no matter how nice, might not even think twice about axing you if deemed necessary.
Left after 9 months…toxic work culture and manager. She made me feel guilty, said she took a risk in hiring me (which in my opinion, I wasn’t - fully qualified and years of experience) and kept saying I’m leaving her unprepared and short staffed. I also gave notice right before the Easter holiday and we had that Friday and Monday off so she also was pissed I technically was giving her like 1.5 weeks notice lol. I don’t regret that decision one minute. She and the rest of her team were evil
She’s the reason people quit in the first place
My typical approach is to get the lay of the land for 90ish days, make the place better than you found it for the next 90ish days then gtfo if it feels it’s all been a wasted effort.
Yes I did. I boomeranged back to my old company that I had left. My manager and I weren’t getting along and he wasn’t terribly phased when I told him I was leaving.
Thanks EY1…I mistyped it…it’s been a long day 🤪
Left in 4 months from my last job to join IBM. Manager was super nice and said I could always come back. Really good career move for me. If you have a better offer, do it (it was my first job out of college full disclosure).
So in one year I must’ve quit 6 or 8 jobs and I told management to suck it! Yes I burned bridges and I recently landed a role that was more concede with my knowledge of medical terminology. As well as my grammar in English,Spanish and Portuguese they couldn’t care less about customer service or doing everything in my power to please the masses. Looking back I wish I would’ve been a bit more vulgar to my past managers
This was at the crack a** of dawn 🙊
Left after 4 months to go back to my previous industry. Best decision I ever made, manager completely understood. Currently in the best job I’ve ever had.
Pro
8 months. Got an unsolicited offer and it was a much better role (substantial title bump and pay bump) so my manager was like I get it, congrats. Truly no hard feelings cuz it was obviously what any sane human would do.
I did! I was upfront with my manager about long term goals so it wasn’t really a surprise for them when I took an opportunity working with my desired agency. Left on good terms, set them up for future success, and hasn’t impacted my career negatively at all.
I'm honestly considering it now. 5 months in my new job
Kinda
I went to leave my firm, but they gave me a counteroffer and promoted me. Then roughly 4 months later, I left.
My manager wasn’t thrilled but understood why the other opportunity was better. I’m sure they designated me as a flight risk once I brought them a competitors offer to get the counter from them.
And they’ve since texted me a few times to see if I’d come back
I sure did. There was blatant racism that HR later admitted to. I found a new job and didnt feel at all bad about it.
My dad left after 7 weeks due to a batshit crazy manager. Found a much better job.
I quit a job after 9 days. Best decision ever.
Chief
Tomorrow I will notify my employer of 6 weeks I am leaving. All part of business.
