Yes, multiple times. Worked out every time but this last one. Haven’t gotten a new job in 2 years. :/

Would still recommend.

i’ve heard people think it’s smarter to request to go on mental health leave and use that time to apply to jobs rather than cold quitting. totally up to you and your circumstances, but i feel for you!

My wife just did. Still figuring out how we’ll swing the next few months until she lands something new but it was so toxic, it just had to happen.

I really thought he looked different and something about his hair being long and so greasy makes it hard for me to be into him. I know I sound awful but what do I do / say?
