I did the same, several years ago. In fact When I did, I changed my career altogether.

Same here. I struggled a bit to find my path, but it was worth it.

It’s okay. You did what you felt was right. Sometimes a break is much needed and better than being in a toxic environment. Best of luck with the future job search. I hope you find something you love!

I have also been there. It is stressful at first--uncertainty always is. But it will work out.

Congrats! I did the same a while back and it was the best feeling. Enjoy some time off.

Congratulations!! It takes a lot of courage to do what you did and you should be proud for standing up for yourself and leaving what wasn’t good for you.
I did this a month ago too and went through all the emotions: omg what if I don’t land a job? How long will I be dipping into my savings for? Did I do the right thing? Gosh that was a big decision and I feel so scared of the unknown.
Breathe! Take the time, like others said, to detox. I still wake up with anxiety after a few weeks. It takes time for our bodies to know they are safe again. Also, apply for jobs, and network with old employers or friends to see if they have any openings at their work. Things will work out and you’ll be ok :)

Good for you! I dream of this every day but have a wife and child, and think about how I’d support our expensive lifestyle

Oh man, I just made a post about this. I’m doing the jump in like a month (haven’t given notice yet) so you’re a bit ahead of me. But the nerves are starting to get real.

I told everyone in my life that I’m doing it and started sabotaging myself a bit at work (not in major bridge burning ways) so that I won’t be tempted to change my mind.

Are you me? Doing the same thing haha

I’ve done this a few times and might do the same very soon. If you have the money to last you a few months go for it. Never once have I regretted leaving a toxic situation. Trickier situation if you have dependents and little savings.

Good for you. Enjoy

Power to you! Good will come

Did a first interview with hr rep, went very well. she set up the hiring manager meeting for a few days later. Met with the manager. Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.

I love my SO but get unsure....they just went on a friends trip and came back and randomly said going on another one in two weeks. I said I wanted to spend time together so they came back next morning and said let's go away just us instead, which is awesome and I am happy BUT is it a red flag? They used to always be all about spending time together and now seems like I have to remind them to put us first in the past month. We both work hard and have kids so life is more complicated. Vent over.
