How to quit my job? Been here <6 months, I’m the midst of building the team, recently made offers to bring new talent to join my team, finalized 2022 strategy. There is so much going on and the timing couldn’t be worse to quit. I realized I’m really bored of my current job and just not enjoying the function. I was offered a role from a startup to join them and I want to take it. How do I bring this up to my manager (head of dept)? He was counting on me and my team to deliver a lot this quarter

cut your losses now than be a team leader who is just not into the role or team anymore. organizations are grown-ups and move past individuals surprisingly quickly even if we think they will have a huge problem if we bail.

I feel like this is a “bite the bullet” situation. You could offer to help locate and train your replacement to soften the blow, but the reality is that you are unhappy in that role and should pursue your goals.

Put you first, everyone else will be fine and they will get on, business has to keep rolling. Some good advice I was given is to be loyal to yourself first above all other things in life.

Gift giving help: every year around this time my husband brings up his Jan bday and basically demands I spend a lot of $ on him. I find this stressful.

When I say this he immediately launches into “haven’t I done this for you, bought that for you”. “If you loved me you would”. His entitlement and manipulation make me feel super resentful and removes the fun of celebrating him. FWIW we earn the same. What to do?
