Last week at Deloitte ~ I feel like my SM is upset with me for leaving and that it will be a really awkward week. The project is really intense, my position is difficult to staff, and they haven’t told the clients yet. I feel bad to put them in this situation but really just want to survive through the week. How do I stop caring so much?

Learn better boundaries. It’s hard, but really important work.

Do what you can to prep a knowledge transfer packet for whoever eventually does replace you. Anything beyond that is not yours to own.

I appreciate this candid reply, thank you!

Any leader that is upset with someone for making a career move that they believe is best for them, even if they don’t agree with that, is a terrible leader.

The ball is out of your court, it is not your responsibility to spin you leaving to the client or backfill the role that is hard to fill. If it is so hard to fill, then they should have been checking in on your satisfaction more regularly to make sure you were happy.

Look out for yourself, because literally no one else will, especially an employer with hundreds of thousands of employees.

Ty - I totally agree, I was so dissatisfied and my checkins with SM (my performance evaluator) kept getting cancelled

Your SM should be happy for you pursuing a new opportunity if they’re a half-decent person.

Who cares about D now, you’re leaving that sinking ship. You should feel good that you don’t need to worry about any of the fires at your current project come this time next week. The grass IS greener on the other side, trust me, I left.

My SM was mad I left too and didn’t care about anything but the project and client satisfaction. Even tried to pressure me into staying longer than two weeks after giving my notice. No regrets, glad I left.
