I submitted my 2 weeks because leadership purposely kept the team lean for the margin. I had proper conversations expressing my burn out and need for help. When they admitted they weren't prioritizing building the team, I started looking and an amazing opportunity fell in my lap. I wasn't ready to leave, still had so much to learn and love my team, but I wanted to prioritize my sanity and health. My boss is gutted(and screwed)

Morale of the story: People will leave if you take them for granted.

Good for you!! I'm in the same boat where my team is amazing but has been so lean given people kept leaving even as we get open roles backfilled, admittedly very slowly. It just feels like a never ending cycle and having a fully staffed team is more a dream than a reality, especially as one of my leaders reminded me that keeping roles open helps make the agency money. I'm really hoping to find a good opportunity soon so I can get out of this unsustainable environment.

Well done. Mental health is more important than any sort of loyalty to an employer treating you like that. Congrats on the new opportunity!

Agency life, a good chance it will happen again

Congrats! 🍾

Anyone else feel obligated to take family/friend referrals to healthcare providers? My brother is a dentist and, in light of some work I need done, said "hey! Go to so-and-so at such-and-such.
