Looking back, what were some of the obvious and subtle signs that you were ready to start looking for a new job? Would love to hear your reflections

Other coworkers, who I deeply respected, were leaving. Felt no support from management - despite multiple conversations. Feeling micromanaged, despite being in the role for multiple years and proving that I could make changes as requested.

And the final straw was realizing that the upper management didn't even care if they lost a whole team of 13. We were disposable. Despite a team that had staff with significant longevity in an industry that sees excessive amounts of turn over.

For a minute I thought you were talking about my company LoL And then they (management) has the nerve to act surprised when you bounce.

I wasn't excited about the goals, team, anything anymore, work numbed me. My performance went down because of it. Wasn't unhappy either, so took my time to find something I would truly enjoy again. Last day tomorrow and can't be more excited to start something new.

Manipulation of coworkers and previous staff. A toxic boss used power to "persuade" employees to stay. It was more the boss made you feel like you owed them.

Miss representation or giving wrong feedback of work just to make them look good in seniors eyes.

I think I may know, but what exactly are Sunday Scaries?

The pit In my stomach on the Sunday before work or constant feeling of Nausea every morning in the way to work. I worked for the corporate office of a large furniture company with over 230 location. Totally toxic executive director is over the real estate department I used to worked for. As soon as I left my health problems started going away and I could cut down on my anxiety medication. That place was killling me. Bad thing about it- there has been so much turnover under his directive and all the employees sited him as the reason for leaving. However, this is a company of Good Ole Boys and he happens to be friends with the VP of the company. They won’t do anything about him and it’s horrible. I left an almost 15 year career and it was the best thing I have ever done.

There were stores in NC but the office was in GA

Definitely when when my upper management started saying out loud they had issues finding the energy to come to work.

I asked my boss it was there anyway I could get a promotion or move up and he said no. Two weeks later got another position another company that I'm his equivalent. And I left earlier than my two weeks notice. Stick it there 😁

I'm pursuing my master career coaching cert and need to do a recorded 45-minute session. You don't have to be identified if you don't want to.

The single session is all I'm asking but could certainly turn into a longer lasting coaching relationship (at no cost), if you like.
