Tell us about a time when you KNEW it was time to leave an employer. A moment when the signs where there, you weren’t sure, and then you had the “aha” moment and knew it was time to make an exit.

For me, one time was when I was at ESPN and kept getting transferred between managers. When I finally met the last person who managed me, I knew I wasn’t going to be a good fit and immediately made an exit.

It was more of an itchy foot thing for me. I had a job I liked, with people I liked, but it got so predictable and monotonous that I knew I had to get out of there. It wasn’t so much that something clicked, it was more a long series of small things making clicking sounds. When everything added up and became overwhelming, that’s when I left,

How many billable hours per week is considered at capacity? I’m getting pushback on boundaries I’m setting about additional matters and marketing work from my firm when I’ve been billing 60-75 hours per week for the last 6 weeks, and I’m still behind on my work. I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️
